WhatsApp isn't a conference tool. You can't have more than a handful of people on a call. And it's with people in your contacts on your mobile phone. I presume the same with telegram. Skype for business has been deprecated

I wonder. Are all the vulnerabilities and issues with Zoom because of its popularity? Everybody is using zoom these days and in my opinion it's because it has an excellent user experience. I'm wondering if something like Cisco Web

Well this is random to see on the front page of HN. A pull request to change a string from "she or he" to "they" It's more concise English. And hey, it's no skin off anyone's back to be accommodating.

Lol, you don't need to be so combative. It used to be my daily driver laptop. And yes. The touchpad, wifi, bluetooth and the GPU (intel) works perfectly. And the laptop doesn't have fingerprint sensor.

Got a ThinkPad T450 in my cupboard running Ubuntu as a home server. Everything works perfectly. I'd argue that thinkpads aren't stylish, but they're bricks that work well.

Honestly speaking for myself I think roboto and Calibri are excellent fonts. Readable and aesthetically pleasing, what's the general opinion on these default fonts in the typography world?

I've extracted the end quote here. It seems the study puts forward the idea that police in general are more likely to shoot minorities. "FRIDELL: The defenders of police, of course, will cherry-pick the studies that show no bias.

" A fascist is one who uses violence for political means." What? No, that's the definition of terrorism. Fascism is an extreme nationalistic ideology pioneered in Italy by Mussolini and adopted by Nazi Germany.

Didn't they have some feature years ago where you could tag people. And people took it as an opportunity to harass?

Why are you comparing $1000+ laptops to a raspberry pi and a dock? If the raspberry pi meets your needs, consider a much cheaper laptop

There are more than billion android phones. How many corporate networks are there? How many people use laptops and are outside their home and want to use their mobile network?

Thanks for giving such a detailed response Dang. I agree that HN has such a large userbase whilst not splintering it off in a way that division forms in sites like Reddit / Twitter is really unique. And it's a site where excellent

Should we care about enterprises? It looks like the setup they want will be pretty crap for home users if that got implemented by ISPs. You won't be able to tether if ISPs / Mobile networks decide to use the DHCP to give you a sin

Hacker news is a really good site for tech discussion. But when it comes to anything about diversity / harassment in the workplace, it seems like a group of people crop up needing to tell everyone that they're the real victims The

Why is it clickbait? This article has quotes form doctors saying that the symptoms of COVID have been unexpected. ""We still don't really know why some patients feel OK to begin with, even though they have incredibly low leve

Reading the thread, including the parent post the OP omitted, it looks like they rewrote the background picker. And decided that this wasn't worth the time to reimplement. Well it's not as if people are paying for GNOME. Is there

At a place I worked at they did something similar with the most obviously fake email possible. Seemed like a pointless box ticking exercise. Funny enough IT sent out an email about a Windows update rolling out (upgrade to a new version like

Oh no the other way around. Having a remote Linux box that I want to get a remote desktop into. Remmina is really good, I agree.

I guess the problem is that nobody is generating revenue in a meaningful way with desktop Linux. Firms running Linux on servers can pay their employees to contribute to open source. But a peripheral input driver? Ubuntu had a shot at being

I stopped being an active user of Reddit about 5 years ago. I felt that it wasn't a forum that was conductive to interesting discussion. But also, I know it's a cliche to talk about the eternal September effect, but somehow it fee

These CPUs don't have PCIe 4. With Microsoft and Sony going all in with their consoles and high speed gen4 SSDs, I'm imagining there's going to be a lot of faster drives on the market soon. Unless it's an upgrade, I feel

Browsers should be blocking this by default. "This website is trying to access services on your local PC, do you want to allow?" Or at least as blockers should have a rule for it.

Why's it so difficult to write a print spooler? I'm not too familar with what it does exactly. But I presume it's a queue of documents to send to a printer and some level of conversation of the data from a print document form
