As a disabled person I find your definition of ardent defender interesting. I think blind people have every right to expect they can do what signed people can do on the web when it comes to accessing health services such as the one describe

I think his concern is not about employees (who are required to be ethical) but random members of the public who could use the information they learn in malicious ways.

It was a blunt comment but I did not find it disrespectful. Sometimes it is necessary not to beat around the bush as non-disabled people tend to do when dealing with topics to do with disability or accessibility.

I love online ordering. I am exposed to the full options for customising a pizza so I can add and drop ingredients easily. I can also experiment with what coupons give me the better deal for the set of pizza I'm ordering. These two thi

Many carriers are now reducing radio bandiwdth available to 3G due to reallocating spectrum to 4G (or even 5G) so this isn't a viable long term plan.

I've observed download starting slow and getting faster on all connection types: dialup, DSL, fibre, mobile wireless from 2g to 4g. It's just how TCP operates. Interesting that your experience on Comcast is different.

That is good news. Such a user hostile idea so hopefully it never comes.

Ah I see. My employer uses teams quite heavily for its other features but we use Zoom for meetings.

Ah that is interesting. I work for a school for Deaf learners who use sign language. We rely on having good quality video so we can see each other. Your description of video degradion matches my observation. Unfortunately this is not suitab

I have also noticed better performance on Firefox compared to Chrome. Quite surprising but worth a try. Meet only really works well for small meetings though. Any bigger and it slowly starts to fall apart.

Netflix has worked fine on Firefox on Mac, Windows and Linux for as long as I can remember.

I am certain that I've used Teams in Firefox? I regularly use other 365 webapps as well with no problems (apart from troubles that are also present in every other browsers).

That's strange I don't have any Google widgets on my home screen. Perhaps it's the Xiaomi variant of the Android UI that allows this?

What you describe has always worked just fine on my Firefox/Mac installations.

I'm in the same boat. I use Zoom frequently on Linux and it's performance is quite acceptable. I use Zoom successfully on other platforms as well. It compares well to altneratives such as Google Meets which in my experience starts

Meet performs quite poorly with large number of participants (the tipping point being around 10 or so for me) in a meeting. I tried various browsers and found Chrome to be the worst performer and surprisely Firefox was somewhat better but s

Indeed. It is really nice to be able to participate in group and conference calls from Linux without having to reboot into windows or macos. Also performs well in all the platforms I've used it in which is not something I can say for t

I've been involved with zoom sessions of up to 50 connections and it has exceptionally flawless on my work macOS laptop from approx 2017. Compared to every other video conference software I've tried, zoom is unfortunately by far t

I thought of the options syntax straight away. Do you work in finance by any chance?

That is getting harder and harder. E.g. Unifi Video has a great on prem software to manage their video devices on your own devices but was depreciated in favour of a cloud based solution. At least MicroTik has so far steered clear of cloud

Has the title changed in between your post and now? It currently is 'Netscape ISP Homepage' which makes sense to me?

by kiwijamo 6y ago
Have you missed all the recent chatter about Ubiquiti? I'd steer well clear and look at other options such as MicroTik et al.

Modern email systems don't seem to use Greylisting. I used it many years go but it seems to have gone out of fashion nowdays. I now use Fastmail which doesn't seem to employ Greylisting (or at least I've never seen it become

I haven't had the chance to check the dump but I am sure Facebook had my phone number. I'm surprised this site says my number wasn't leaked.

Huawei has nothing to do with Xiaomi as far as I am aware. Yes same country of origin but that's all. Perhaps you can cite a reliable source to back up your claim?

Many people who hoard chargers still hang on to old chargers that only do the 5W standard. For modern devices fast charging is very useful especially for high battery capacity devices. I've recycled all chargers that don't support
