I thought I would ramble in this old blog to get used to new dictation software.

I ordered a dash cam (Losfom WD11 2K Body Camera) which is actually a police camera. These work great as affordable dash cams, and this one unexpectedly has a dash cam mode where it will turn itself on and off based on car power outlet, so no buttons ever have to be pushed. No recharging or managing full storage, police bodycams are all about simple human factors. The charging base keeps it still where dash meets windshield, and it gives voice reassurances about what mode it is in. I'm gonna try a tiny tie clip camera for the less critical rear.

Anyway, I wanted to rig my phone to give notice when Amazon made the delivery. They do this now by dumping a dozen or so packages in our common lobby without ringing, or knocking; just the email notice. Furthermore, they deliver at weird hours like early Sunday or holiday mornings. I set up a loud chime notification for one email account that consolidates my time sensitive notices like deliveries. When it chimed right at delivery, I expected to meet a group in the lobby in a hurry to avoid package theft. But nobody was there; am I the only person to set up such an alert?

P.S. the phone email app is sometimes tardy or fails to chime. Is it in irregular wi-fi contact while asleep at home? Seems instantaneous while charging.
