I’m my experience, Google Meet has very steep minimum bandwidth requirements by default. You can (and probably should) set the send/receive quality to 360p video, but it’s miles behind the adaptive bandwidth scaling that Zoom and Skype

Everyone should learn a tie down knot. Way too many people use unsafe knots (such as an overhand) to tie loads down because that’s all they know. A truckers hitch is as simple as it gets: 1. Tie a loop in the middle of the cord (I like the

This is also standard journalism practice, and I use it all the time as a somewhat heuristic for news article credibility. Journalists are taught to put the most important details at the head of an article, and the least important at the en

How much are people willing to pay? A quick search shows Google's STT API at $1.44/hour. As an example, the Joe Rogan Experience is ~1500 multi-hour episodes, meaning it would cost >$5000 for just that one show. Presumably the
