speaker mode + separate device to record.

Either that or use a computer to do the call and record using software on the computer.

I don't know how the latter is done but I know many companies do that.


just patch inputs and outputs to audacity (or your recording software of choice). for pipewire theres helvum[0] or qpwgraph[1]. for JACK there's Catia[2].

Can't one stick a recording device between the headphone and phone?


If you have a headphone jack and a splitter that could work. I do not know of any "two sided" Bluetooth devices that could sit between a phone and headset.


Why couldn't your bluetooth mic / headset record?


Yes, I’ve read that this is what most reporters do. There are a number of devices built for it. I’ve never used any so have no recommendations.


In general maybe, but if you were selling something online and received bitcoin on a wallet not associated with your irl identity you can be anonymous, its just not practical because you need to de-anonymize to get that into actual cash unless you really know what you are doing.

Monero is better.


Better only in that it's untraceable, but unfortunately due to bad actors that makes it a dodgy or morally indefensible thing to use.


Its not that, its more the general feeling of an american decline and an obsession on knowing how it will end.

Doomer feelings are growing more prevalent as out population becomes more divided and our monetary situation grows worse.

Many americans feel that our "American Empire" that dominated world politics is losing ground fast and there is a need to cope by being "smart" and swearing you know how it will happen.

Its pure copium, but it feels good to cope and feel an illusion of control.

TL;DR: its a need for control in worsening times, not hatred, that drives the doomer theories of an American collapse.


Interesting. Will the term "self fulfilling prophecy" apply here? I mean, that's how the stock market work, right? Something or someone introduce fear (impending war, possible crash of the dollar, etc.), get people talking about it causing more uncertainty, and the cycle continues, thus fulfilling the original premise.

I'm not a geopolitical expert by any means, but if there was a time to make a move against the US, this would be it for sure.

I mean, by the looks of it, the Western doesn't "feel" that hopeful. Just look at the US alone:

- Patriotism is on an all time low (per NYT);

- Social divide is on an all time high;

- Highest inflation in +30 years;

- Afghanistan's debacle;

- Proxy war with Russia got the American people basically divided between spending that money at home and striking a deal between RU & UA. vs helping Ukraine defeating Russia;

- US culture is getting a pushback from other countries (mainly in the African continent) that think the US is trying to impose their morals upon them (it's not that far fetched if you think about it). This is affecting US relations with those countries to the extent that they prefer to align with US "frenemies" instead of the US per se;

- US foreign policies pushing together countries that were/are still enemies, bringing forward the old saying `the enemy of my enemy is my "friend"`.

This decade will be really interesting, to say the least.


Fun exercise, do the same thing - but for positives:

- We'll be basically energy independent in 10 years

- Manufacturing is being decentralized and re-shored

- Our domination in tech is not slowing

- Despite the news, violent crimes are near all-time lows

- Education is at an all time high

- Low income wages are at recent-history high

- Working hours are declining, PTO is going up

- Gay rights are at an all time high

- Turns out, Russia isn't much of a threat

- etc.

You see what you want to see. It's a good idea to at least try to see things from the positive and negative sides.


That's the thing, isn't it? Fear sells, everyone (at least MSM) is stating negative views. "Independent" outlets are stating we're approaching to a global conflict, major economic shifts, etc...

What you stated is interesting since you have to dig deeper to look for these news and even doing that, you'll have the majority of people disagreeing with you. Reality is 99% of the world atm is only looking the bad things and forming their conclusions based on that. We're literally watching the power dynamics being "shuffle" and the general perception of the US being shifted right before our eyes. These news have embolden part of the world to take action and move against the US (which is scary if you think about it since the ramifications will affect everyone) and we can say it makes sense since no country can fight all fronts at once (US and Africa, US vs EMEA, US vs China/Russia, etc..).

I'm hopeful things will get better and the western world will get its "things" together.


then maybe it should be done in america, mexico has zero obligation to allow experimentation in their atmosphere.


I haven't even reached 30, yet that comment of yours made me feel old.


It's probably more confusing since the DS had several iterations, first one in 2004, then the lite in 2006, DSi 2008, DSi XL 2009. And then the 3DS having mostly the same form factor probably made the design feel new for a lot longer.


idk, smart people who are not on the spectrum tend to be great at explaining things in an easy to understand way for people of any intelligence level.

As for people on the spectrum, it depends on how they are specifically, many things can cause them to be more or less understandable to any joe-shmoe.


There's a series on YouTube called 5 Levels where Wired asked an expert in a domain to explain a concept to a child, teen, college student, grad student, and expert.

Maybe it means a "200" iq from someone who did an online quiz once.


Why would I learn that, I like speaking normally. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


planned obsolescence


also if you are in one of those demographics it can be even better.

you would have a level of rapport inherently with those people and can make those connections even easier.


Yes agreed. I've seen this work well countless times over the last 15 years in business. Which is what is leading me to do more of it.
