Quite a lot of work went into your program, I bet you learned some good code while writing it. I’ve used a simple Windows program called Easy Net Monitor. You can specify IP address or hostname connectivity tracking with email alerts.
I seek out phones with audio jacks. My current Moto G Power 2020 has one and I use it all the time. No dongles or adapters in the car or on various headphones. Plus I actually use the FM Radio built into the phone and that uses the wire for the headphones as an antenna. I just cut off some old earbuds and plug that in, then direct the audio to either the phone speaker itself or BT.
Motorola has it too.
I’m having a blast with the game, the gameplay is solid. I really liked the movies and the character so that probably helps.
Correct, if that machine goes down you won’t have any notification. I was thinking along the lines of you are hosting services on one machine while the computer itself is acting as the host or hypervisor.
