This week we have a college student who is wondering if her professor is flirting with herand she doesnt like it. Keep in mind, Im not a therapist or any other kind of health professionaljust a guy whos willing to tell it like it is. I simply want to give you the tools you need to enrich your damn lives. If for whatever reason you dont like my advice, feel free to file a formal complaint here. Now then, lets get on with it. Im in college. My professor never really bothered me before, but now Im starting to question him. I changed my hair to red one day and he complimented how nice it was even though I hated it. I have never seen him comment on anyone elses appearance. A few days later I dressed up pretty fashionable and changed my hair back to black cause I was going out that night with my boyfriend and he said, Wow another look, Nice I brushed it off. Youve got problems, Ive got advice. This advice isnt sugarcoatedin fact, its sugarfree, and may even be a little bitter. Welcome to Tough Love. Then, another time in class, I was talking to my friend and asked her to call me by my nickname. He overheard, asking me why I didnt ask him to do that. I just told him I found no reason to, but ever since then he calls me by my nickname anyway. He also gave us a quiz and one of the questions asked what we thought he could do to make the class better. I said one day out the week for tutoring would be nice. Heres where things get a little weird. When he handed back our quizzes, he made sure to let me know I was the only one he responded back to on the quiz. When I read his little response it said, Okay, lets try to do that, my nickname. Its a pleasure having you in class. Is he flirting Sincerely,Not Hot for Teacher. Hey Not Hot for Teacher Heres the deal if you think hes flirting, hes flirting. So, if youre getting that creeper vibe, thats enough to say he is. I think hes flirting and I cant even see his body language or anything. He calls you by your nickname when you didnt ask him to, he takes care to notice your appearanceand keep track of itand he makes comments on said appearence, directly to your face. Plus, the weird note on your quiz. Thats a little inappropriate there, Professor Horndog. But heres the nail in the coffin hes not doing these things to anyone else or so you say. I mean, if he was, it would still be inappropriate, but its obvious hes shown a specific interest in you, lady. And it sounds like youre not interested in his version of extra credit. So, the real question is what do you do about it For one, I wouldnt attend his romantic solo tutoring session created specifically for you. If hes saying those things in front of people imagine what he might sayor dowhen its just you two in a room alone. Ew. He may not actually be a total creep, but youre probably better off getting tutoring from a classmate if he makes you uncomfortable. Think about ityou wont be able to focus and learn when youre on your guard the whole time. Beyond that, you have two options. The first, which isnt ideal, is to ignore him until this class is over. If you wont see him again after this semester, just keep your head down, do your classwork, and move on. But if hes an adviser or a regular professor of yours, thats not really an option. And I think youre better off doing something about it, so. The second option, Not Hot for Teacher, is to tell him that what hes doing makes you uncomfortable. Dont make a display out of it. Do it in private during office hours and say, Mr. Horndog but actually use his name, it makes me uncomfortable when you use my nickname and make comments about my appearance. Id appreciate it if youd stop. Now, hell probably get defensive and say that he didnt mean anything by what he said, but it doesnt matter what he meant. Say, Its fine, you dont have to explain. Id just like you to stop. Thanks. Remember, youre not debating his intentions with him, youre telling him how you feel about it, and as your teacher he needs to respect thatperiod. He may not be aware that hes making uncomfortable. While you feel a little harassed, he may think youre cool with it in his creeper brain. Until you say something, hell probably continue. Whatever you choose to do, keep a record of everything he says to you, and when. If you choose to ask him to stop, keep a record of that as well. That way youll have plenty of evidence in case this situation escalates and it needs to be taken to a higher power. You never know. You might dress well, have a cool job, and be blessed with beauty, but flirting is where the realRead more Read.

Raspberry Pi as Remote Server for RTL2. SDRIntroduction. Note Since this project was posted it has been brought to our attention that RTL2. U R8. 20. T sticks may not be fully supported in the RTL drivers used here. The RTL2. 83. 2U E4. Are you a coder or whitehat hacker looking to make some money on the side Bug bounty hunting might be the perfect gig for you. One of the often overlooked features of the RTL drivers for the RTL2. U SDR sticks is the TCP server. I spent quite some time testing all three different USB wifi dongles that I own Raspberry Pi the newest kid on the block Broadcom chipset. The TCP server allows you to send data from the RTL2. U stick across your home network to a remote PC running a program to process the data back into SDR information such as SDR Sharp. While the Raspberry Pi is not quite powerful enough to run current programs to decode and process the SDR data from the RTL2. Linux install TPLink TLWN725N Step by step how to usb driver install nano version 2 WiFi ubuntu driver install. This how to will work on Ubuntu TLWN725N install. U stick, it can do a very good job of running the rtltcp server. This means that you can plug the RTL2. U stick directly into the Raspberry Pi and wind up with a very small and portable SDR radio server. You can either plug the Raspberry Pi directly to your router or use Wifi for more flexibility in placement. If you decide to go the wifi route, I would suggest you use wireless N since bandwidth can be an issue. You can use either a Wi. Fi dongle on the Raspberry Pis USB port or a Wi. Fi gateway interface. The nice thing about the Wi. Fi gateway is that it needs no drivers to connect to the Raspberry Pi since it converts Wi. Fi date to ethernet. If you decide to go the dongle route, be sure to do a little research on what dongles work well on the Pi. Demonstration Video. Why would you want to dothis There are several reasons you might want to do this. Here are a few 1. One of the biggest reasons would be to cut down on the amount of antenna cable you have to use. The less cable you use the less signal loss you will have. The Raspberry Pi and rtltcp combination will let you mount the RTL2. U closer to your antenna connection point. Lets say for example that your antenna is mounted in the attic, but your monitoring station is downstairs. Rather than run 1. RTL2. 83. 2U and the Raspberry Pi close to the antenna and use Wi. Fi to send the SDR data downstairs. Set up the Raspberry Pi RTL2. U SDR server in one location and use your laptop running SDR Sharp to monitor your RTL 2. U SDR radio anywhere in the house. Make the Raspberry Pi RTL2. U server accessible from outside of your home network and listen to your SDR radio while you travel. Set up a remote monitoring location in another part of the country. Mount the whole thing in a weatherproof enclosure powered by solar cells and put it at the top of your antenna tower. Tie it all to a helium balloon and have a 5. I am sure you could think of other uses for such a small portable SDR server. Geting it Going. 1. Install the latest Debian release on your Pi and update it. Before you install the RTL drivers, you will have to install the following dependencies if they are not already installed by typing the following commands in terminal window at the prompt. Now we are ready to install the RTL drivers using the following commands git clone git git. Before this will work you will need to locate your RTL directory using the file manger where the drivers where downloaded and copy the rules file into the etcudevrules. Plug in the RTL 2. U stick and issue the rtltest t command to make sure the Raspberry Pi sees your stick. Be sure that port 1. To start the rtl server type rtltcp a plus the ip address of your Pi. For example rtltcp a 1. On your PC download the latest Dev version and configure it according to these instructions. Go to the interface section and and select RTL TCP and enter the IP address of your Raspberry Pi. Start SDR Sharp processing and it should be getting the data form the Pi and the RTL2. U. 9. You can now remove unnecessary peripherals like keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Potential Problems. I have noticed that the server will stop working under the following circumstances, there may be more but these have been fairly consistent. If you exit SDR Sharp without stopping its processing of the remote data from the server. If the bandwidth gets to narrow to handle the data properly. This can be more of a problem with Wi. Fi as the distance gets further between the Raspberry Pi and the router. A work around is to lower the sample rate on SDR Sharp. Tuning to an unsupported frequency area of your RTL 2. U stick. For these reasons, if you are going to run the SDR server headless or locate the Raspberry Pi in an area where it cannot be accessed easily, you will need to get SSH going on the Pi and install Putty on your PC. By default SSH is usually already active on the Pi. Just install Putty on your PC and open a session using the IP address of your Pi. The default user name is usually Pi and the password is Raspberry. This will allow you to access the Raspberry Pi remotely to start the SDR server. Discuss in our Forum.
