  • I think Wil Wheaton had something that was supposed to air on Freevee, the link his PR person gave him just threw you back into the Amazon video page, I’ve never actually seen any information about the service or a working video stream surface.

    It seems like a lot of places are ready to throw millions of dollars into system and just never freaking marking them.






  • Sounds like you’re getting better numbers than we do :) Wonder if there’s some incompatibility in our fleet hardware that you don’t have. We’re mostly Dell XPS. The biggest problem we regularly have is the audio output and mic inputs going rogue. They’ll be using the machine with sound all day, no problem, go into a meeting and there’s no sound. They’ll have the same problem with microphones. Somehow the browser session behind the scenes doesn’t pick up the current default device settings and the volume for the Slack session ends up being muted.




  • I honestly had no idea what was in chorizo. I had been making chili with it at home and it came time to make it for work, I stopped by the market near work and they didn’t have any. I was all “FINE!, I’ll make my own” and looked it up, there are TONS of variations. The one I went for was basically vinegar, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and most of the spices I already use in chili.

    One of my favorite taco shops made one that was very hot and just a touch sweet the cinnamon was forward which I didn’t care for at first, but it ended up being amazing, it was also processed fine like round beef. I’ve been trying to replicate that for a while.










  • We user / have used Slack, Zoom, Meet/Gchat and a VERY brief trial of teams.

    We have O365 AND Google Workspaces so we get teams and meet for free.

    Zoom is the best to host a large meeting with a split presence. It’s the best at dealing with variably poor connections. It shines on being able to share any specific app and sound control.

    Meet is the best for small, low-friction meetings. However, it is hampered by its inability to share anything but browser tabs with sound, poor camera control, and poor user display.

    Slack is a fantastic, too-flexible chat system with organizational issues. When it works, it works pretty well. However, it has intermittent video and mic problems on many systems. It is not good on poor connections and occasionally not good on fast connections.

    Teams is bloated, many systems run it poorly, and there is an unacceptable amount of server-imposed downtime/issues.
