Researcher dude at my uni was grading thesis defenses during the pandemic Donald Duck style on Zoom, forgot the camera, stood up and flipped a dick into someone’s life defining stressful moment.
The best thing to use is “Magic Tape” to cover your camera. It adds a frosted window effect while not disturbing your screen’s brightness adjustment feature.
Yes. Usually you have a brightness and sometimes also a proximity sensor. Proximity is usually used for phones so they can deactivate the screen if you hold the phone like an actual phone against your ear.
I did helpdesk during the pandemic and the number of tickets for “poor microphone quality” was insane. Most people used tape or bandaids to cover the camera… And microphone
The real reason for shitty microphone quality is using the shitty microphone that comes with your laptop. Get a decent wireless headset with a mute button on it and you can move around your house during meetings while still sounding way better than you would be sitting in front of it using the laptop mic.
Look, the guy has a hard enough time remembering the letters, and copying the words from his “reminder card.” His brain is already taxed! Give him a break.
For anyone still wondering if anything on Temu is good—so many people in my life still are—its best explained as an online dollar store.
A dog bowl? Yes. A basic backpack? Sure. A jigsaw puzzle? Probably… Shoes? No. A Bluetooth anything? Hell no. An outdoor gas heater? Fuck no.
So, yeah. Basically whatever you’d go to a dollar store for because you think it’s something basic, like a door mat, but everywhere else you go they’re like $50 for some reason.
I honestly have no idea whether or not it’s good because the only time I ever clicked on one of their links, just to get more info, that their website gave me so many popups that I said fuck it and looked elsewhere.
Hey, can you prove definitively that the Anunnaki WEREN’T actually little green men from outer space who could tell the future??? Well that proves it then! It MUST be true! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m late for an appointment to be fitted for a pyramid shaped hat to block the governments mind control rays…
Wait, I thought they were the lizard people who were the ancestors the top Democrats, business owners, and the Republicans that they don’t like. Am I mixing conspiracy theories?
WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!! The ancient Annuaki gods, the Lizard People, satanic pizza parlors, M&Ms not being sexy anymore, it’s all part of one BIG conspiracy that goes ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP! Everyone who I disagree with is part of it!
We are cooked. Completely cooked. American democracy is over and it’s time to prepare for a harsh right wing fascist regime.
…but vote for Biden.
It was too late 12 years ago, this is everything playing out. Everyone acted like the 2020 election was our fight to keep democracy, we had already lost it by then, the conservative plan just hadn’t been completed yet.
I am not saying you should go vote and vote for Biden. I am saying that, we can never, ever elect another Republican again, or we are fucked, I do not see the that happening. If we beat trump in 2024, we may not in 2028, or new trump, whoever the new right wing strong man is may win in 2032.
It’s already over, it’s been over. Our chance to stop this was long before anyone even realized it was a problem.
The problem didn’t start, nor does it end with trump, he is just a convenient strong man to put as the face of the movement
time to prepare for a harsh right wing fascist regime
Wow, that’s a good point, but some people may take it the wrong way and say things like ‘what taco bell are we meeting up at to plan to depose the current massively corrupt Supreme… taco?’ ‘Is surprise attacks on Taco Bell’s military installations a viable objective?’ ‘Would the taco bell ‘fresh crew’ join the efforts to over turn the corporate structure?’ ‘Or should we all just move to Spain and enjoy the authentic taste of a secular society with universal healthcare and tapas as far as the eye can see’?
Back in the day one of my friends had just the most gigantic glass bong I’ve ever seen. It was too long to smoke and reach the bowl to light by yourself at the same time. Typical use was one person lit, the other person draws, no smoke had reached them yet so the lighter stops, smoker had to empty their lungs then try to clear the whole thing in one go. If there were enough people you could get the bowl going and pass it around the circle fast enough to keep it lit
Was actually reading about this earlier. “Atra-Hasis” is the literary precursor to Noah. He saves people in the oldest flood myth (that we know of). So imagine this person is saying that Noah hung out with aliens.
