May try to call my mother from my Google Voice number from my MacBook Air laptop momentarily, but ...

Hi Ma, Pin, Ed, (AI readers) Just tried to call you Ma on your iPhone x0271 and it rang for 7 or 8 times unusually ... (and I left a message on it after 4 rings around an hour or two ago) ... When we've talked recently we've done so on your iPhone ... and it seems like doing so could be more secure than over your longwood landline (especially if they're involved in international organized crime) ... so could some coder in Pittsburgh have temporarily disabled you voicemail remotely (re "controlling processes" a phrase my Cal Professor of "Classic Ethnographies, "Laura Nader, used ... ) ... so that I might have to call your longwood landline, x4836 I wonder? Who knows ... but in seeking to knock back intl organized crime in pgh ... that possible coder could be a criminal perpetrator in other ways ... May try to call you again on your iPhone then possibly try your landline too ... How are you all doing? (Could that seemingly US federal GI soldier in Strada Cafe even be a wedgie GI somehow ??? ... where GI soldier and mean "Government Issue," "General Issue," and "Ground Infantry" ) ... Talk with you soon, abolition, staying alive, sending warm f/Friendly greetings, Scott (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/communication)

Peter, others, how please to possibly code my mother's IPhone's voice mail to always work if that's the issue here?'

Regards, warmly, best wishes, 
Scott

Dear Peter, Ed, Ma/Janie, Pin, John (Tadler re your FBI workshop in Pgh in 2013), All, 

World Univ & Sch's website stopped working - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - which I discovered yesterday afternoon (and Peter about which I emailed you also when I emailed Gate Support yesterday evening)  AND is still not working ... and I could postulate that it happened after I visited Strada Cafe in Berkeley yesterday morning, and some people saw the World Univ & Sch sticker on the top of my laptop computer, and started going to the beginning WUaS website ... and after the GI soldier stepped in front of me at Cafe Strada too ... and re the text messages this morning to both Ma, Pin, and Ed in the PS, AND in the PPS T.. (L.........) now I think in NH at his family's home there (which I visited while first in asylum about 3 summers ago) . Could this down  - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - website also be related to the folks, like trader joe's coders involved in international organized crime, possibly with a connection to Stanford contemplation by design coders too... who could have possibly remotely coded my MacBook Air laptop to say "Backup is not working" or similar ? ... And all regarding my seeking to stay alive ... and re lisa thurston's possible involvement in trader joe's international organized crime too (as I seek to protect my mother Jane too).

Am still not clear regarding Pittsburgh & international organized crime what happened to the craven psychopath??? Lebanese / Swiss soldier??? cmu undergraduate at the time, English, French and Arabic speaking frederic khayat re his murderous run through of me in April 2023, and even the US federal government's involvement here ... Is he no more, or is he in a secure military prison in the SW, or in Europe or in the Middle East?  ... or what's up with being informed of my Chase credit card's closing in March of 2024 in a trader joe's store on Penn avenue in Pgh, and regarding the Chase bank Wilkinsburg Pgh's jenifer weber and georg nicolai and international organized crime (re a chase bank branch in Ohio too re some paper letters I received), and the 'murder' word said to me by Chase bank VP Shauna McNally in Chase bank Shadyside Pgh ... AND then seeing (criminal prostitute??) lisa thurston in a san rafael trader joe's north of SF in April - and was she stalking me??? ... and am also not sure what's happening with the US federal investigation into Cuttyhunk and international organized crime, as well as the other possible US federal investigation into international organized crime I write about below in the PSs ... 

But I'm glad I sought US federal protection for my mother, my brother, his new daughter, all on the eastern seaboard, and myself many months ago.


How best to possibly navigate these possible remote 'attacks' - AND with WUaS in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program as well? Time to explore hosting MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - with Google somehow even, or might this not be sensible too ? And how best to distribute Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency (with a partnering email with WUaS) to most of all 7.9 billion people on the planet, as the infrastructure grows (chips/ semiconductors, blockchain & IT infrastructure, smartphones for all 7 billion people, electricity +)? .... And could the US government even invest in MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ in 200 countries and 7159 living languages and for free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric WUaS degrees from home - too like in the Intel chip below? And how to do all this from this MacBook Air laptop, and hopefully which keeps working ...  ?

And how best to navigate possibly some Thurstons (lisa, ally, elliott with the claremont resort and club in berkeley, charlie and lawyer trish hulley in Marin???) being deeply or not involved in international organized crime too ?

(Ma/Janie, please be very very wary of lisa and ally thurston and regarding international organized crime on Cuttyhunk especially) ...

Not sure why I haven't heard back from Gate Support ... but maybe this is an opportunity to take another step forward with the - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ in 200 countries and 7159 living languages IT -wise.

All the best, abolition, Friendly Quaker regards, 
Scott












PS 
Good morning, Ma, Ed, Pin, (AI readers too), how are you today? Still alive, and while Dad GKM MD isn't ... The way that GI soldier stepped in front of me yesterday at Cafe Strada made me think of (criminal prostitute??? ) lisa thurston (and could she even have joined the US uniformed services, since she told me she's 'based' in San Diego now on Church's beach on Cuttyhunk) cutting in to join you, Ma, Trish and I walking down to the Fish Dock to get ice cream after dark ... and then stepping in to get ice cream with you ... while I moved away ... and could speculatively David Thurston (who said he was a Unitarian Universalist the day before Thanksgiving 2024 - and could there be some thinking US Generals & similar in that UU church - in DC when I also met with him, T.., his older brother William, and their nephew Inigo who lives much in Italy) have joined the US uniformed armed services, a high up officer in the Navy or Coast Guard or similar even??? and could ally thurston and Elliott Thurston possibly with Stage 4 prostate cancer, with his German partner Kathrin,  and now alive Zach Thurston  too all have joined the US uniformed armed services very very speculatively ... and regarding careers ... and as I and WUaS have sought US federal investigations into Cuttyhunk, Canyon 94516, the sf quajer meeting, other Friends / Quaker organizations too, Portland Maine too - and now I think into pittsburgh (and Ma, your saying on Sunday on the phone after you returned from the Cuttyhunk via the Portland ME airport, not 'Logan airport' which I had asked about ... could you be referring even to US uniformed services, via somehow David even, taking action in Pgh, but not against 'kathie logan' at longwood? ... and with my having sought a US federal investigation into longwood too ... and to seek to protect you ... and how to get the 'intelligence' correct re on the ground criminals?) and further re international organized crime there ... as well as WUaS growing a worldwide abolition movement to protect people and possibly re distributing Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily -  https://minepi.com/sgkmac (and even brainstorming as individual bank accounts in India re https://x.com/narendramodi/status/1960960516219658409 ??? ... with further implications for WUaS too) - to most of all 7.9 billion people on the planet and to end poverty (and facilitate free universal education wiki & people to people) ... So could the US uniformed military services be best positioned in the USA to knock back international organized crime and in all 50 US states, and with US organized crime's ties to other countries too? So if a US federal uniformed services' plan to make 670 Ridgecrest Canyon 94516 newly safe and vacant is developing - with processes like this going on around the country too ... Could criminal??? lisa thurston be in the uniformed services now ... and potentially even guarding somehow you, Ma, and me too? And could .... .... .. have multiple ties to the US uniformed services too, as an army doc even ... and be interested in connecting as well ... and re the GI stepping in front of me to get a coffee yesterday (with Strada Cafe cameras in the top corners of the main Strada room?) ... Knocking back much wedgie-informed international organized crime in the USA could be complex re getting it right, eg identifying the perpetrators correctly ... And I'm still van-camping much since March 4, 2025 in all of this as I seek to move forward with the WUaS Academic Medical Center into a newly safe Canyon 94516 ...Will I be able to move forward into a newly safe Canyon 94516 by F 9/5/25 with US and state of CA law working effectively together in new ways? Ed, Ma, Pin? Made significant methodological progress with writing my "Society, Info Tech and the Global University" book yesterday ... re a kind of 'writers' block ... As a Friend and Quaker, would like it if international organized crime got out of Quaker organizations, and re the Peace Testimony, am ambivalent about US federal uniformed armed services possibly helping to do this ... and to protect, for example, Quaker kids (from tragedy) ... but those US uniformed services' organizations may be best positioned to do so, and to protect Cuttyhunk Yacht Club kids too ... Thoughts, questions, suggestions? Regards, abolition, best wishes, Scott (May assume laptop 250 Gigabyte hard disk backup storage is done effectively via a 2 Terabyte external hard drive I think I have, and in my case further by uploading to youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@ScottMacLeodWorldUniversity/videos - then to delete the Zoom video files on my laptop hard disk ... thoughts?)

Dear Peter and All,


Good morning. Just received a message on my laptop earlier that my disk is almost full.

Came over to A5 storage in Moraga and got external hard drive out of storage space, and as I started to try to backup my laptop, my laptop said "Backup failed ..." I rebooted and am trying to backup hard drive but laptop has said 'Preparing backup' for about 15 minutes ... While it says last backup done on July 31 2025 but I may have done One more recently than that.

Regarding staying alive, and possibly intl organized crime and trader joes again, as I drove into A5 storage, a woman mostly in pink near the password box was carrying a black and red trader joes bag ... And when I opened my storage unit my black and red trader joes bag was in front tight next to my bagpipe box.(Many storage  places can Probably get into most locks I posit). 

Could trader joes coders / similar have coded my laptop to say "backup failed AND "your disk is full I wonder. Again on 2/28/24 in asylum in PGH I learned at a trader joes on Penn avenue that my Chase credit card was stopped ... and earlier this spring criminal prostitute? lisa Thurston, cousin of David Thurston and Charlie and lawyer Trish Hulley in Marin  was curiously at a trader joes in San Rafael and seemed to be symbolizing putting her head in ...  Was she soliciting me even ? lisa Thurston told me on Cuttyhunk 2 weeks ago that she was in rohnert park thus April but is based in San Diego. 

Could trader joes' coders in cahoots with international Organized crime have coded these malfunctions? . . (I also JUST received a Stanford  contemplation by design email unusually ... So in cahoots with Stanford coders too)???

Staying alive as I seek to move into a newly safe vacant 670 Ridgecrest Canyon 94516 even around M Sept 1 2025 ...
.
Thoughts, or suggestions? 

WAIT ... but I hear my external hard drive working as if making a back up ... And just looked at my laptop ... Abd its now backing up 7.83 GB ...

And now emergency vehicle sirens are going off in distance. ... All re real time remote info tech?

Backup just done successfully 

Abolition, best wishes, thank you,

Dear Maya I. (Gate Help Center), Gate (and Peter Norvig, Google AI Director), 

Thanks for your email this morning. 

World University and School is and has been using Gate / Hostway as a website host since the beginning. which may predate 2010 (the first Archive.org record for WUaS I found is from June 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140619232730/http://worlduniversityandschool.org/) 

Re your - 

"Please note that currently, you have an A record for worlduniversityandschool.org and www.worlduniversityandschool.org, which both point to our Web Hosting, but you also have a CNAME record for www.worlduniversityandschool.org, which points to CloudFlare. "

I haven't been able to HTML code  or FTP to http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - for years now (since KompoZer stopped working on my MacBook Air laptop), and know nothing about the CNAME record or CloudFlare. 

Please make http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ accessible again as soon as possible, and as WUaS continues to seek to develop WUaS's website and make it secure, and develop it with AI and machine learning, as well. Thanks.

Sincerely, 
Scott

Can newly speak in German to my laptop (for purposes of improving my German), but can't yet figure out how to get my laptop to speak in German (eg from artificial intelligence replies) ...




Can I speak and hear German on my 2020 MacBook Air laptop with Gemini AI, for example, whereas I can't on my Google Pixel 6a Android smartphone?

Yes, German can be spoken and heard using AI on Google Search on a MacBook Air. The issue on a Pixel 6a was most likely a temporary restriction that has since been resolved. Language capabilities differ between platforms, and the mobile app had limited voice support when it first launched.
AI on Google Search on a MacBook Air
To use the AI on Google Search in German on a laptop, access the web application through a browser.
The web app supports German and many other languages for both text and voice prompts.
The AI on Google Search web app is not a pre-installed macOS program, so the laptop's age is not a limiting factor

Es gibt derzeit keine offizielle Text-to-Speech-Funktion (Sprachausgabe) für Gemini direkt auf der Webseite für alle Nutzer und Sprachen, die es ihm ermöglichen würde, Ihnen wie auf einem Mobilgerät zu antworten. Die Sprachausgabe-Funktion namens "Gemini Live" ist hauptsächlich für die mobile Nutzung auf Android-Geräten konzipiert.

Sie können jedoch die folgenden YouTube-Videos ansehen, die die Gemini Live-Funktion auf Mobilgeräten demonstrieren:

Maybe I have to wait for a Pixel 9 for a computer, laptop or smartphone to speak to me ...

Hello Google, how do I talk with Gemini AI with a microphone in German on my 2020 MacBook Air laptop?

Sie können auf Ihrem MacBook Air mit Gemini AI auf Deutsch sprechen, indem Sie die Webseite von Gemini in Ihrem Browser verwenden und die integrierte Mikrofonfunktion nutzen. Eine offizielle, eigenständige Gemini-Desktop-App für macOS gibt es derzeit nicht.

Hier ist eine Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung:

1. Öffnen Sie Gemini in Ihrem Browser

2. Mikrofonzugriff zulassen

  • Wenn Sie die Gemini-Webseite zum ersten Mal besuchen, werden Sie wahrscheinlich aufgefordert, dem Browser den Zugriff auf Ihr Mikrofon zu erlauben.

  • Bestätigen Sie diese Anfrage, damit Sie die Sprachfunktion nutzen können. Möglicherweise müssen Sie auch in den macOS-Systemeinstellungen unter "Datenschutz & Sicherheit" dem jeweiligen Browser den Zugriff auf das Mikrofon erlauben.

3. Mit dem Mikrofon sprechen

  • Auf der Gemini-Webseite sehen Sie in der Texteingabezeile ein Mikrofonsymbol (🎤).

  • Klicken Sie auf dieses Symbol, um die Sprachaufnahme zu starten.

  • Sobald Sie klicken, wird Gemini zuhören. Sprechen Sie Ihre Frage oder Anweisung auf Deutsch. Sie können frei und in natürlicher Sprache sprechen.

  • Wenn Sie fertig sind, wird Gemini Ihre Spracheingabe verarbeiten und eine Antwort generieren.

Wichtige Hinweise:

  • Sprachauswahl: Die Sprache der Gemini-Webseite (und damit auch die Sprache, die Gemini erwartet) wird in der Regel automatisch auf die Sprache Ihres Browsers oder Ihres Google-Kontos eingestellt. Sie können dies über die URL ?hl=de manuell auf Deutsch umstellen.

  • Problembehandlung bei Mikrofonproblemen: Sollte das Mikrofon nicht funktionieren, stellen Sie sicher, dass in den Systemeinstellungen Ihres Macs unter "Datenschutz & Sicherheit" > "Mikrofon" der von Ihnen verwendete Browser auf die Liste der Apps mit Mikrofonzugriff steht.

  • Genauigkeit: Die Qualität der Sprachübersetzung und die Genauigkeit der Antworten hängen von der Klarheit Ihrer Sprache und der Qualität Ihres Mikrofons ab. Das interne Mikrofon des MacBook Air ist in der Regel ausreichend, aber ein externes Mikrofon kann die Leistung verbessern

Hallo Google, Wie rede ich mit Ihnen mit Mikrophon auf dem 2020 MacBook Air Laptop? 

Auf Ihrem MacBook Air können Sie die Spracheingabe (Diktat) verwenden, um mit einem Mikrofon zu sprechen und Text einzugeben. Hier ist eine Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung, wie Sie dies einrichten und verwenden können:

1. Spracheingabe aktivieren

  • Klicken Sie auf das Apple-Menü () in der oberen linken Ecke Ihres Bildschirms.

  • Wählen Sie Systemeinstellungen oder System Settings.

  • Gehen Sie zu Tastatur oder Keyboard.

  • Im Bereich "Tastatur" finden Sie die Option Diktat.

  • Aktivieren Sie Diktat indem Sie den Schalter umlegen.

  • Sie werden möglicherweise aufgefordert, Ihre Sprache auszuwählen und das Mikrofon zu bestätigen, das Sie verwenden möchten.

2. Spracheingabe verwenden

  • Öffnen Sie eine beliebige Textanwendung (wie Pages, Microsoft Word, eine E-Mail oder ein Webbrowser-Formular).

  • Bewegen Sie Ihren Cursor an die Stelle, an der Sie Text eingeben möchten.

  • Drücken Sie die Diktat-Tastenkombination, die standardmäßig Fn (Funktionstaste) zweimal ist. Alternativ können Sie in der Menüleiste (neben der Batterie-Anzeige) auf das Mikrofon-Symbol klicken, falls es dort angezeigt wird.

  • Ein kleines Mikrofonsymbol erscheint auf dem Bildschirm und zeigt an, dass Ihr Mac zuhört.

  • Sprechen Sie deutlich in Ihr Mikrofon. Der gesprochene Text wird automatisch in die Anwendung eingegeben.

  • Um die Diktatfunktion zu beenden, klicken Sie erneut auf die Diktat-Tastenkombination (Fn-Taste zweimal) oder auf das Mikrofonsymbol auf dem Bildschirm.

3. Tipps

  • Sprachbefehle: Sie können auch Satzzeichen und Formatierungen diktieren, wie zum Beispiel: "Neuer Absatz", "Komma", "Fragezeichen" oder "Punkt".

  • Mikrofonqualität: Für die beste Erkennungsgenauigkeit empfiehlt sich ein externes Mikrofon, obwohl das interne Mikrofon des MacBook Air meistens gut funktioniert.

  • Siri: Wenn Sie mit Google als Sprachassistenten sprechen möchten, müssen Sie die Google Assistant-App installieren und verwenden. Siri, der integrierte Assistent von Apple, wird durch den Sprachbefehl "Hey Siri" oder durch Drücken und Halten der Power-Taste (bei neueren MacBooks) aktiviert
