I'd love to, but IME it's unstable with more than a handful of participants and doesn't offer stuff I need, such as breakout rooms. Unfortunately, Jitsi isn't a viable solution at …

Breakout rooms, for instance? Better video quality? Dual-screen mode? Or simply the superior video and audio quality compared to Meet. I wish I could move away from Zoom, but I've …

Let me point out: to me, auto-updating isn't even the crucial issue (I use unattended-upgrades as well, so whatever). Yes, functionality and workflows around installation and updat…

Heh, interesting, didn't know that. I was just trying to pick a random example.

This is a remarkably clueless article. It's clearly written by someone not familiar with the demands of embedded systems. Also, Pis have a not-so-stellar track record as far as rel…

So they do :-D It's getting long in the tooth by Google standards I suppose. Who knows when they'll axe it. I think it's strictly 1:1 (which, I gather, Facetime isn't?). It has goo…

Last I tried it, it didn't work on Firefox, and was somewhat unstable. Too bad, really. Loom seemed nice.

ISTR my Dell USB-C dock can do that (but check for yourself, I might misremember). No idea how well it works with Macs though.

I don't think I subvocalise, I read way faster than I can speak. There's certainly ideas flowing through my mind as I read, but not sounds. It feels like a mixture between words, t…

Anecdata: I have an Asus ACE mainboard and use ECC RAM with it. Works as advertised.
