Can anyone recommend a device that plugs into the regular left/right audio jacks on an amplifier and can receive a bluetooth signal from a mobile phone?

Brands/models readily available in the EU preferred if possible...

#AskFedi#HiFi#AV

Q: So, anything new? What'd you do today?

A: Oh, dug through menus in a new AV receiver to find its MAC addresses, configured my network DHCP server to give it a static address, and then wrote some iptables rules to keep that address from being able to reach outside the LAN. Pretty standard stuff.

Looking for a "DO NOT CONNECT THIS MACHINE TO THE INTERNET NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT NAGS" warning sign to print out.

So question for those in AV, live events, etc. out there (hoping for input/thoughts <3)

How on earth do you break into the industry when you've only had a few contracts ever plus a degree in the field?

"Who I know" hasn't been able to help me so far and when I've signed up as an ad hoc contractor kind of thing, no jobs ever came to my phone until they took me off their list >.>

I do this stuff on a volunteer basis but like...it'd be nice to get more experience and actually know how to get started after 5 years of banging my head against the wall. Particularly interested in live or studio audio stuff, but trained in the video side of things, lighting and enough logistics experience for the bump in/out stuff too

So yeah, how does one get started in this industry? Should I independently get any extra tickets/qualifications/etc.? And any other tags I could consider adding on to find the right place to ask? :3

Hahaha but no.

The AI job loss is already happening.
It's just that there is a hierarchy to the replacement.

At the bottom, you have all the "unimportant" jobs. Artists, Animators Writers. Don't need a certification to practice.
Those jobs are already going.

Then you have the lower-risk jobs, middle management, assessors, accountants, office workers. Those require some degree of certification/experience. Those jobs are already going (and have been for the last 20 years) under the umbrella of "efficiency".

Then you have the highest tier
High risk, high consequence. Doctors, Lawyers, Drivers etc. Those jobs will go last.
#AV are already causing less accidents than #HDV...as long as you don't drive at dusk and avoid corners (😁)

And an #AI radiologist is definitely better than a human one...but it's going to be a few years because of certification.

So yes, funny as this is, and cathartic as the humour is, we will see job losses of 80% percent very soon.
Let's just hope we don't get a Government in the US that will declare a large chunk of the population "surplus to requirements".

I can't recommend this video highly enough. It gives an all too realistic assessment of what autonomous vehicles will do to our cities, and it's not good.

@breadandcircuses Hope it's ok to tag you on this; it seems like something you might be interested in.
