PowerShell for Mac.
by Jen Bottom 09 Jul '18

Hi, I thought some people on this list may be interested to know, that it is now possible to install PowerShell on MacOS and Linux. I only found this out today, the instructions for Mac are here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/install-azurermps-maclinu… I am now starting to see the power of working with Asure using this. I'm guessing it will be very useful for setting up test environments on Asure, if that's ever something I need to do. Best, Jen.

Ripping DVS from a DVD
by John G Heim 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Does anybody know anything about ripping the audio descriptions (DVS) from a DVD? I am not even sure movies come with DVS. I want to listen to the "Lord Of the Rings" movies and it turns out that it is cheaper to buy the DVDs than it is to download them. If I can figure out a way to rip the aDVS track, I figure I can listen to it while my family watches the movie. They don't have to be bothered with those descriptions. -- -- John G.

SDR - Software Defined radio.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 03 Jul '18

Hello, I'm sorry. This is off topic but If there's a bunch of people who might be able to answer this it's you. I'm looking for a SDR, Software Defined Radio that is fully accessible. Well, as fully accessible as needed for most tasks anyway. Price range is about 3000 Euro. Don't want to go above that though. I'd like it to support 70c, 2m, 4m, and standard HF bands, 18m, 21m etc. Decent output would be reat as well. About 50w on 2m and at least 100w on HF. I primarily use windows but if the UI is more accessible in Linux that's fine too. Connection over Cat5 would be preferable. Alternatively, if you know of a SDR that's less than 3000 that could be made fully accessible to either Jaws or NVDA through scripting, I would be interested / happy to pay a scripter to do this. Thanks Darragh EI8IZ
