I don't think you understand. A governor keeps rotation and revolving
doors from spinning out of control.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_(device)>
A president does quite the opposite, causing things to go out of
control with corrupt and rapidly spinning appointments. See President
Trump's advisors, appointments, and associates for examples. I guess
it would be redundant to suggest that the state of the union is
anything but solid.

Big mistake placing your call sign in your sig.
If you're going to get into arguments with people on Usenet, there are
some very mean people who will look you up in the FCC call sign
registry and cause you and your family immense problems. They can go
to a site such as Intelius and with their credit card learn the entire
public record of your life. It has happened again and again on Usenet,
and they guy you're screwing with is one of the sock puppets of a guy
who does such a thing. An American Indian named Eagle made that same
mistake with his call sign. They drove him off from Usenet with
threats to his entire family. Others have suffered the same fate.
It's probably a bit late, but If I were you I'd drop that call sign
from your sig file.

There's nothing by techno95 remaining on the Google Play Store.
However, you can get the APK if you want to live dangerously:
<https://www.apkfollow.com/app/detect-hidden-cameras-and-microphones/com.techno95.detecthiddencameraandmicrophone/>
Let us know when you find a URL that I can use for these. Like most
people, I don't like to waste my time Googling for things that you
could easily provide as a URL.
While you're looking, consider that finding a hidden camera requires
that the camera emits something that you can detect with your
smartphone. That limits it to RF emissions of some sort, magnetic
emissions from the lens auto focus electronics, or IR emissions from
some manner of illuminator. You might to better with a spectrum
analyzer (or RTL-SDR dongle) and look for the camera clock oscillator,
LAN clock frequency, or RF backhaul frequency. CCTV cameras are often
powered by 24VAC. Maybe look for a 60Hz AC power field where one
would normally not be expected.

Another detector for a hidden camera lens is the reflective LED method.
You wear a headdress of LEDs facing outwards just above your eyes and if
you see bright point reflections then you may have found your hidden
camera (lens)...
This was explored in the book by Cory Doctorow "Little Brother"

I apologize that the app I used is no longer in Google Play.
This is what the "green screen" IR detector screen looks like:
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=6487383detect08.jpg>
That's actually an infrared camera it's pointed at, but it's apparently off
(likely as wires pulled out when the tree fell down in a windstorm).
Here, for the record, is what the "magnetometer" readout looks like
with the results in both cases when pressed next to radios:
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=1112569detect07.jpg>
It glows red when you're close to an RF emitter of various sorts:

I apologize. Let me use a few apps in my "system" folder to check.
Apparently I installed version 1.9 of that app on November 9th, 2018.
1. This is what "My Apps" freeware shows about that app:

I agree with you that the one I used is no longer easy to find.
Luckily there are plenty of "hidden camera detectors" on Google Play:
<https://play.google.com/store/search?q=hidden camera detector>
I tested FOUR of them for you, where I recommend the LAST one below.
Here is one called "Hidden Camera Detector".
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hiddencamdetector.futureapps.com.hiddencamdetector>
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=2460855detect09.jpg>
Here it is in use inside my house (I will test it outside later):
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=2368161detect10.jpg>
That app has ads; but it seems otherwise the same as the old one I have.
Here's another one called "Hidden Camera Detector".
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.labinformatics.hiddencameradetectorspy>
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8525590detect13.jpg>
Here it is in use inside my house (notice it uses a "blue screen"):
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8822787detect14.jpg>
The magnetometer seems to give slightly more dynamic data:
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=5189465detect15.jpg>
Here is a lousy sophomoric one called "Anti-Spy:Came Detector"
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mastertech.SpyDetector>
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8552496detect11.jpg>
It has obnoxious ads; but otherwise, it seems the same as mine.
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8121084detect12.jpg>
(I don't recommend this app due to the obnoxities.)
Here is one called "Hidden Camera Detector Camera Scanner":
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamissolution.hiddencameradetectedspycamerasdetectors>
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8255824detect16.png>
This one uses a "pink viewfinder" & a dial gauge magnetometer:
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=7911635detect17.jpg>
The magnetometer, like the others, displays what it thinks it sees:
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=1341749detect18.jpg>
This one seems to have an additional separate graphing function:
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8397455detect19.jpg>
Of all those, I like the one I have best since it has zero ads!
But of the ones that are available now, that last one is OK.
One thing I noticed in testing that I didn't realize is that the
"Green Screen" is immaterial. I don't know WHY they change
the color of the screen (do you?).
Some are green. Some are blue. Some red.
Why bother changing the color?

I think the apps all look for the same thing:
o Magnetometer readings, or,
o They just let the IR-sensitive camera do its normal thing.
I "guess" they make the screen "green or red or blue" to give more
contrast? I'm not sure. Do you know why they change the screen color?

I'm not a professional; I just hike in rough terrain where bad guys are.
That is, I happen to often hike in the hills where pot farmers grow stuff.
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=3023286detect20.jpg>
I find their "stuff" all the time, fertilizer, hoses, dams, irrigation
tubing, and even hammocks, sleeping bags, weighing scales,
car batteries, etc.
It's very common in these inaccessible mountain areas.
Here's just a bunch of horticulture pots I found yesterday while hiking at
least two or three miles from the nearest road deep off the trails.
<http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=2648541detect21.jpg>
Whenever I see _that_ stuff, I know the pot farmers are nearby.
I just want to see if they have hidden cameras in the trees.

Nice idea. My initial guess(tm) was that the anti-reflective coating
on the camera lens would umm... not reflect anything:
<https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-locate-pinhole-cameras/>
The instructions are value and ambiguous. It took me a while to
decode how it is intended to be used.
The purpose of the toilet paper tube is prevent the user from seeing
the direct light from the flashlight. In order to get a tolerable
reflection, the flashlight should be close and parallel to the toilet
paper tube. Once I did that, I was able to see reflections from some
of my various cameras, but also reflections from anything shiny in the
house. The lenses that did not reflect light were those with clear
plastic lens protectors, which reflected nothing no matter what I
tried. Actually, there was plenty of light scattering, but nothing
that could be seen as a reflected spot. That eliminated some of my
laptop web cameras and outdoor security cameras. How well it works in
the field, I don't know. Probably better than inside my house because
of the lack of spurious reflections.

Is there any Software to calculate Ohms Law and other electronics math?
I have never been good at Mathematics, once you put numbers over other
numbers, use alphabet letters in place of numbers, or talk about
squaring a number, I am completely lost. This is nothing new. Even in
high school I needed special help and barely passed algebra.
Yet, I have worked with electronics all my life. (55+ years). I usually
fInd the correct resistors by trial and error, using pots and decade
boxes. Or using meters for watts, amps, or volts.
Most of the time I see someone in a youtube video using this kind of
math, I skip the video. I just hate math and always will.
But I'd welcome a piece of software that would calculate simple ohms law
things like determining the resisitor size or amperage, etc.
Yes, I'm aware of websites that do that math, but I do not have internet
access in my shop, which is where I need this sort of thing.
Is there any software (preferably free) that I can put on my laptop PC
to do this? (Must be suitable for Windows XP SP3 Pro).
Google did not find anything except those online (web based)
calculators...

>Is there any Software to calculate Ohms Law and other electronics math?
No. It's too easy and simple to make it worthwhile writing a stand
alone Ohm's Law program for a PC. There are plenty for IOS and
Android devices, but not for PC's. It might be helpful in finding
something if you were more specific as to what you mean by "other
electronics math"?
>Is there any software (preferably free) that I can put on my laptop PC

I think you'll find one of these to be more suitable:
<https://www.google.com/search?q=ohm's+law+cardboard+slide+rule&tbm=isch>
