Might want to just try a high quality conference speakerphone. They have advanced audio processing, directional microphones, noise cancellation, etc. built in - since they are designed for this kind of audio from the ground up. You can fin

Love my Konftel Ego portable bluetooth speakerphone. It stays plugged into USB power 99% of the time on my desk but the audio quality for myself as well as how others hear me is leaps and bounds better than any other solution I have found,

Was trying to use OBS's built in RTMP support but found it a buggy mess that would freeze/drift over time. Ended up using the free version of StreamBridge https://tricube.net/products/stream-bridge/ to

Also NDI native cameras are slowly becoming a thing. I'm really in love with the Logitech Meevo. It's targeted for use with phones, but it works great with computers and OBS too. Drop dead simple to use, and with the POE kit ver

Out of curiosity, I picked up a Konftel Ego portable blutooth speakerphone for some testing. An integrator turned us on to Konftel as a cost effective alternative to polycomm speakerphones, and they were indeed quite good. I've been v

Indeed - I'm still sad I sold my Atari - I even had the disk drive and official Atari cassette drive :/ My favorite trip down nostalgia font history was replacing my terminal font with a VT220 font. Creating a realistic font isn&

Wish I could upvote more than once. Also find it ridiculous they published their screed on Medium, one of the most text unfriendly websites around. The US Digital Web Design System has one of the best, easy to understand discussions of colo

Another user here who see's huge value in just renaming the consumption page to a history page. Would be VERY handy! Especially if I could restrict a search to my own search history.

They don't care about fixing it because people still flock to them. And who can blame us? Other sites still suck worse. I can't believe how bad walmart.com still is - the user experience is night and day. Walmart - the retailer

And calling anyone with the temerity to disagree with you an -ist or -phobe isn't self identification of the users who overuse those terms as having a particular sociopolitical leaning? Or does the gate only ever swing one way in your

"isn't this illegal" Only if you live in one of the few states that have strict wiretapping laws. Amazingly if you look at the states that have these "two party" consent laws, they are usually states with a history

I take very, VERY good care of my old, dumb cars that do not have Wifi, Blutooth or any built in cellular modems :p If I'm lucky I will be buried with them. If forced to buy a new car at some point in the future, if it can't run

What the heck is there to test? iPads have already switched - this isn't unknown technology with some huge risk :p

I think the lightning connector is still easier to use and more durable than USB-C, but don't care either way now that wireless charging has really taken over. It's very, very rare I plug my phone into anything for months at a ti

Oh please - I'm severely ADD and was before it was even a thing. I still managed to learn to adapt without expecting everyone around me to bend to me. And I'm not only full time WFH but geographically remote from my office too.

I'm not saying anyone is doomed - you are just going to have dramatically fewer opportunities for serendipitous interactions; that's just a plain fact any way you slice it. And maybe for your career path that isn't important

Oh I 100% know - there are a handful of spontaneous hallway conversations that started as idle chit chat and veered off in unanticipated directions that altered my career path. I can see them clearly since they were literally life changing

It's not just about making friends. It's about serendipity. It's about spontaneous and unplanned interactions that provide new paths for you. Yes, you can still have those remotely - but they are no where nearly as frequent

That is awesome! Don't get me wrong, I'm all for having the choice. What I think is crazy is people want to act like there aren't trade off's. You clearly are aware of them and for you they still overwhelmingly work i

Some of us have been teleworking/WFH to varying degrees for decades now. There are pro's and con's, but it's not all a bed of roses. The earlier on in your career - unless you don't care about advancing from where

The value for being in the office for me was in the spontaneous connections with folks that weren't in my immediate work unit. Those connections have lead to every job I have had. The best kinds of jobs are the ones that come to you

Neuro normative? Good grief. They don't want to work in the office - no need to gobbledygook it up in some bizarre appeal to authority. I can say as someone who now works full time remote while also geographically isolated, it's

I love 1Password. Easily my most used application. I think what people overlook is it's a great place to store all kinds of sensitive information, not just passwords!
