THE MORSE CODE

Among the most revolutionary devices in terms of telecommunications is, without a doubt, the telegraph. By allowing people in different parts of the planet to communicate in near real time for the first time, it is considered to have been a key to globalization and a precursor to the methods we use today, such as the telephone, mobile phones and the Internet.

However, to get to that point, the telegraph, which first appeared in 1774, had several versions. And they weren’t always so practical. Before Samuel Morse created his famous Morse Code in 1837, the telegraph had 26 wires, one for each letter. It was thanks to this “alphabet” that it could be reduced to a single line, which facilitated the transmission of messages xnxx.

Morse was not a scientist, but rather a painter. However, after belatedly receiving the letter announcing the death of his wife, he decided to create a telegraph that would have a national reach. With the help of Leonard Gale, a professor of science at New York University, they achieved their goal between 1832 and 1837.

Since then, Morse code, based on a system of dots and dashes to represent each letter, has been used in official communications for more than 150 years. Although it is no longer the main means of communication, it is still used in certain areas such as Boy-Scouts, radio amateurs (until 2005 it was mandatory to pass a Morse test to get a license) and instrumental aviation.

Likewise, the International Morse Preservation Society is an organization with thousands of members that is in charge of keeping this means of communication alive. If you’re curious about how to read Morse code, keep reading.

As we mentioned earlier, Morse code is a binary system that uses two symbols to represent each letter: the dot and the dash. For example, E is represented by a point and it is the simplest letter. However, others have up to four symbols like the Y, which is dash, point, dash, dash.

To convey a message in Morse, time is key. The point is transmitted with a minimum pulse. For its part, the line must be three times longer than a point. Likewise, spaces are key to being able to emit a readable message. Between letter and letter a time equivalent to three points must be left, while between word and word it is three lines.

Without a doubt, learning Morse code is not just anything. But there are some tricks that can help make the task easier. One of the most used in the world consists of associating a keyword with each letter or number and this will give us its equivalent in Morse. An example is the word “tree” for A. And it is used like this:

  • The initial of the keyword is the corresponding letter.
  • The number of vowels that the keyword contains indicates the number of digits in Morse code.
  • If the vowel is an O, it is replaced by a dash (—). While if it is any other vowel it is replaced by a point (·).
  • When substituting, only dots and dashes obtained up to the full length in Morse code will be taken into account.
  • Thus, the word “tree” has two vowels: a and o, which would be a point and a dash respectively. That means that the “a” in Morse code is represented by a dot and a dash.

GOOGLE MEETS ADDS ZOOM FEATURES

GOOGLE MEETS ADDS ZOOM FEATURES
(pexels)

During the pandemic, Zoom has become the tool of choice for students, teachers, and professionals. However, its limitations in the free version gave rise to the appearance and proliferation of other options with more benefits.

One of them was Google Meets, whose platform had a better loading speed and did not limit the duration of its users’ calls. At least, until today.

Having proven its power and convenience, Google Meets is ready to monetize with a Premium version, limiting the options of its free users. However, this change does not come alone. It comes backed with various new features that make it attractive compared to other platforms on the market.

 

GOOGLE MEETS AND GOOGLE DUO

Before we talk about benefits, let’s clearly define what Google Meets is. If you are an Android user, you will surely remember something called “DUO”. The tool simulated much of what we’ve already seen in video calling apps like Facetime.

Recently, Google made the decision to merge Duo and Google Meet, to create an integrated experience with many more features.

The new “Google Meet” will have the basic features for free. They are between them:

  • Scheduling and creating meetings.
  • Virtual backgrounds.
  • Automatic subtitles.

 

WHERE ARE THE SIMILARITIES WITH ZOOM?

Among the functions that Google Meet takes from Zoom, is the tool through which the administrator of the call can mute other users without their authorization. Google claims that it is due to a measure to maintain order and amenity in meetings where some participants forget to turn off their microphones porno français.

However, not everything is beneficial for users. Just like Zoom, they will start limiting their free users’ calls to 1 hour when more than two people are on it.

The new system will be designed for the room having passed the 60 minutes, giving a prior warning 5 minutes before. After that time has passed, the link will also stop working.

Luckily for lovers and recruiters, this limitation will not apply to meetings where only two participants join. In these cases, video calls can be made for up to 24 consecutive hours, without any interruption to the platform.

 

NEW COLLABORATIVE FEATURES

The compensation that Google Meet offers us in exchange for that limitation of time in collective meetings seems sufficient when you put it in the balance against its other benefits.

Collaborative functions between the members of a video call, such as the use of Spotify or YouTube collectively, are expected to be incorporated soon. Other tools will also be integrated, such as:

  • Kahoot!
  • Heads Up!
  • One Mobile

The new Duo-Google Meets hybrid will also offer the possibility of integrating its Drive, Photos and Gmail application into meetings, with all the operational collaborative functions, in addition to a VPN available for Android and iOS.

To be sure, even with the bad news, this new Google experiment promises to dethrone Zoom with its new array of features. Do you think that soon Google Meet will be more used than any other video call application?
