- bellyfullofbac 6y agoSomeone posted a link on HN to a site that adds random noises to your Zoom call. Next step would be a webcam driver that randomly freezes the video (as well as a virtual audio device that does the same). I wonder if that's achievable with iptables rules that drop packets randomly. Or, if putting the WiFi router inside an unpowered microwave (it's a Faraday cage) would do it.

- technick 6y agoYes, this is achievable with bit-buckets in iptables or QoS on a capable router. The WiFi in a microwave or faraday bag won't work because you just wouldn't be able to connect period.
- technick 6y agoYou know your co-workers surf this site. I expect to see you at the next game night.
- hntrader 6y agoWe need an AI that can pretend to be a zombified version of you at these Zoom events. It's a long way away tech wise but one can hope.
- potta_coffee 6y agoThis exact idea has been bouncing around in my imagination. Would work for some employees better than others.
