Sure I can source this. I didn’t mean the data retention laws, but meant the government’s black box that a mail provider needs to put besides his mail server. Actually what I need to correct is the number: it is needed only for more than 10

This device is a rebranded RAD-0301 meter. In Germany, this brand seems to be the easiest way for purchasing the RAD-0301.

This device probably is a rebranded RAD-0301 meter.

Well the hassle in my experience is actually to ensure your mail doesn’t get flagged as spam. A note about German mail servers: if they have more than one thousand users, they are required by law to setup a surveillance black box for the go

Cool idea! I am fascinated that this is growing. I wouldn't have guessed so in the first place. Is there interaction happening between the participants? > every time we do it we know fewer of the people who show up. This sounds like

It could be theoretically possible to reduce distancing between immune persons. However this creates 1) a social and economic pressure to also get infected and ignore the risks 2) a control problem: Suddenly, many people are outside and soc

1) false claims are a indeed problematic because they erode trust in Zoom 2) having no E2E is more dangerous in Zoom than with other software For example, there is no E2E in Teams, but we have it running on servers in the same country with

The problem is, you are right. In practice, many companies say "well, it is compliant, but we don't care about the rest as long as we can function".

Actually if one downloads the ZIP instead of the DMG file, it seems to start flawlessly on macOS 10.11. I cheered to soon...

Same problem here. But luckily, on Macs it requires macOS 10.12, hence I can't run it anymore with 10.11 :-)

Great, this works instantly with my recently purchased TFA AirCO2ntrol Mini [1]. Moderately priced for EUR 65, this gives relatively accurate readings (the maximum of ±7% or ±100ppm for values <=2000ppm, and ±10% for values >2000ppm).

Thank you for the hint (in the reference [1], the measurement done as in [2], which states "Collected aerosols were analysed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and by virus titration"), although I then d

Well, not if you still can log in to Zoom even if your email account was deactivated.

well, one may "forget" it on purpose to avoid being quarantined after seeing someone else who gets tested positive later on. This could be even used as a countermeasure to the second point above. Another reason: "lets meet at

On the contrary, many see this a possibility to reduce quarantine measures.

This totally contradicts another study [1]. They found that the virus is "viable and infectious in aerosols for hours and on surfaces up to days (depending on the inoculum shed)." [1] https://www.nejm.org/doi/

by xenonite 7y ago
well no, you write about surfaces (also called fomite transmission). Aerosols are a totally different topic. Please see the historic, massive outbreak of SARS-CoV-1 in Hong Kong Amoy Gardens. There, the aerosols from stool caused a massive

I agree that this helps as an _additional_ measure, but certainly not as a replacement. But please see the problems with it!

Well I don't understand how situations like toilet use, where many aerosols are created, could be safely recorded. (Don't forget that the virus is in the stool.) Also note that this air is often piped somewhere else, hence you wou

which exacerbates the problem. A possible scenario is that users continue to browse the user directory and join meetings with their Zoom account even after leaving a company.

Can SMB links be clicked on from a standard browser? If browsers prohibit it, I guess it would indeed be responsible on Zoom's part to also prohibit it.

To add on this, an encrypted stream with a variable bitrate encoding allows to guess the amount of transmitted information entropy.

Out of curiosity: Could you be more specific on the issue and how it works?
