 Switzerland is trilingual (German, French and Italian).

You forgot Romansh, the language is only spoken in parts of northern Italy and parts of the Canton of Graubünden and Tessin aka Ticino.

Okay, I've never heard of that language. What language is closest to it? French? Italian? Based on its name it is very obviously a Romance language, but what is its closest "main" language? The French language Corse, for example, is closer to Italian than it is to French

Have you ever heard Romansh spoken or are you able to speak it yourself?

It's a branch of Latin and it's mixed with Swiss German and sometimes Italian, but I don't understand it, even though it close to Swiss German. But the people who speak Romansh usually also speak either Swiss German, Italian or French to be able to Communicate with the rest of the Country. No I can't speak it myself. I can only can only speak Swiss German (my dialect is a mix of the Aargauer and Zürcher dialect which IMO are the easiest to understand for a German, dialects of the Cantons of Aargau and Zurich), German and English. My Mom can say some basic Sentences in Romansh. Romance is slowly but surely dying out since people stop learning it and directly switch to Swiss German which is spoken and understood in 17 Cantons because no one else except them understand the language.

Got quite a bit of experience with the DJI stuff.

Fantastic, thanks!

 

I'm currently living fulltime in my campervan while travelling around Australia and i find controlling the drone from my phone to be a little tedious because of my phones small screen and the brightness outside, if i step into the van to control it from there the signal dies but i'd really love to find a way to make it work.  Is there any way i can fly it from my desktop PC? I thought that i could perhaps have some type of external antenna system that i could permanently attach to the roof of the?

 

Of course i would also need some type of software for the PC or at the very least a cable that would enable the DJI controller to display its signal on my 27 inch monitor, i wonder if these solutions could end up costing more than the drone itself lol

Bought all of this stuff for a freePBX build, apart from the SSD.

I originally considered that board ( or some variant of it )

for my Minecraft server 

but decided later to just upgrade the ram on my nas and run it on there

From the PC no since there's no PC program to connect with the aircraft. Putting remote antennas is possible, there are people who sell kits to modify the remote and add connectors, to which you could connect some coax and if needed Wi-Fi amplifiers and go to outside antennas.

 

People usually get a dedicated phone/tablet when they want something more substantial as a display instead of using their everyday phone. DJI's Crystalsky tablets come with a superbright screen and have an HDMI output you could connect to a TV or something too...

 

Personally I use DJI goggles which IMO are the best and most portable way to have a good picture but you can't use that with a Mini, need a full size Mavic Pro or Mavic 2.

This ultra cheap camlink knock off. Its only 30 fps but I am currently on quarantine and wanted a way to use my DSLR as a webcam. I found several overly positive reviews for this thing on youtube so I figured it was cheap enough to give it a go

Only problem there, is I like in country Australia. A trip to town to work is a 60mile round trip. 

 

Man that has got to suck to have to go that far just for groceries.

The farthest I've had to go so far for a job was 62 miles one way but I was glad to have a job.

I just had to double check exact spelling.

 

hearing is possible but not easy ( because of the dialect ) ( at least that’s my experience from mostly ski lift conversations)

Is that a floppy storage box? Got yourself a nice little nostalgia setup.

Blue Exorcist.  I'm not an anime guy and got bored and started with Ghost in the Shell and then I just kept going in the rabbit hole.  It also helps if when only a subtitled version exists, that my ex 10 years ago was Japanese and taught me some, so I can understand..........some of it if I'm not looking.

ok thats cool that you know some japnesse to a point that you can listen and understand
