Next Meeting: June 8th, 2017!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, We've got a meeting scheduled for the 8th! Wow, this meeting came up quick! Any ideas would be welcomed! I could show off the wifi-pineapple if people would like, I made sure to ask the powers that be that it's okay. Time: 7pm Location: WPI Student Center Rm 331 (Mid Century Room) As usual, there will be refreshments and snacks provided and we'll walk/swim to Tech pizza afterwards. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] Android USB tethering

Out of curiosity, why not via Wifi? It doesn't require any drivers on the client side which is really nice. To your question, I haven't done it in over 5 years so my experiences probably are relevant anymore.

This is an unrooted Motorola Droid Turbo on Verizon. I found that I can go into Developer Settings on the phone, set the USB connection type to RNDIS, and my computer sees a USB network connection, but I haven't been able to get an IP address assigned; it says "connecting" for a bit, then fails.

Does anyone have experience tethering an Android phone to their PC via USB? I'm trying FoxFi (pdanet.co) on my phone.

I have an Arduino here, never used; new in packaging. This is an Arduino Uno, I guess the original, made in Italy. The kit contains the controller board, a 16 x 2 character LCD module (green screen), and a power supply. See wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduino I will never use this, but I know someone can. Maybe a fun project for the right kid or parent/child combo to build something with it. Someone should come get this. I am conveniently located near Elm Park, not far from WPI and easy to find.

I use Plex and would love to learn more about it, and about similar things, such as Kodi. I'm also interested in Bitcoin, though, mostly, I want a way to recover the Bitcoin wallet I created (and lost all info for) a couple years ago. However, I realized at the time of the last meeting, that Thursday nights are also open shop night at Worcester Earn-a-bike, which creates a conflict for me.
