You don’t have to use a cloud service to do AI transcription. You don’t even need to use AI. Speech to text has been a thing for like 30+ years.

Also, AWS has a FedRAMP authorized Gov Cloud that’s almost certainly HIPAA (and it’s non-us counterparts) compliant.

Also also, there are plenty of cloud based services that are HIPAA compliant.

That’s only going to be relevant for a few more years.

Radio is doomed. It’s not profitable to run without it being overloaded with ads, but even without ads the audience is going to steadily dwindle no matter what they do.

Have you checked out either Calibre-server or Readarr? They’re servers specifically for managing text libraries.

Because streaming music, podcasts, and audio books exist, and basically everyone has a smart phone.

Radio is dead no matter what the stations do.

Trust me, I’d have more, but my wife would kill me for spending $3k on hard drives

Ditto. I’m always sitting at 97.1F

No I’m not.

No, a large portion of the chronically homeless are addicts, those with severe mental illness, or both.

Please note the “chronically” part. I’m not talking about all homeless people.

Netflix’s mail service was great for data hoarders.

The problem is that, in general, housing for the homeless has sobriety requirements. Same with shelters. Many people who are chronically on the streets are there because they won’t or can’t quit, or because they literally can’t operate in society because of their illness, not because there’s a lack of resources available to them.

The two changes that would have the greatest impact would be massively increased funding to mental hospitals and drug rehab centers. That would house the majority of chronically homeless while hopefully helping to fix what caused it to begin with.

I do want to reiterate that I’m not talking about people who are homeless because life got rough for a bit and need a breather to recoup. They would absolutely benefit from being given housing.

But, those people aren’t who are typically being discussed when the topic of homelessness comes up.

It’s not, though.

Most chronically homeless are though. Somewhere around 80% in the US. Although a lot of that is self medication for mental illness.

That helps for the homeless who are people that are just down on their luck, but it won’t solve the issue for those who are chronically homeless due to mental illness and/or drugs.

Idk what the statistics are for Europe, but 60-80% of the chronically homeless in the US fall into that category.

Homelessness is a very complex issue, and while it gets better if housing is provided, it won’t solve the issue.

You really don’t need a server for this functionality. You could handle everything locally with a bit of python and use an s3 connection or something to set changes remotely. It should be an extremely simple project.

It’s not like he’s developing a product that needs to meet FDA regulations or support hundreds of or something.

The easiest solution would be to get a digital picture frame that you could access remotely. You might also look into smart TVs that have an API for messages.

Really, you could make one pretty easily with a raspberry pi or arduino.

A strong, unique password.

Trailers too. Gotta love ones that tell you absolutely nothing about the movie.

And their catalog is actually super small now. My wife and I watch a bunch of horror movies, and I think there’s only like 20. They try to pad that number by pretending that foreign films are actually in English.

API calls aren’t the only thing they’d be charged for.

It was in response to the claim of lost sales being higher than the AWS bill for the integration
