if you start involving ffmpeg why not go the extra mile and inject a prerecorded video version of yourself paying attention to meetings so you can go outside in the nice weather and do something productive

Beeftweeter posted:my last non-studio monitor CRT was a 17" diamondtron, and yes it was better and yes it loving owned CRTs are cool because they don't really have a native res, you can light up part of a phosphor dot so you can get as much detail as the electronics controlling the beam can handle well I guess color resolution is limited to the density of the phosphors but yeah luminance could be effectively unlimited resolution

ffs just minimize windows you don’t want people to see, you don’t need a dedicated “screen share monitor”

The_Franz posted:this feels like it's on the same level as luddites who like mechanical hard drives because "i need to hear the computer working" trivia time so back in the age where we played dark age of camelot, we'd be running around in the pvp zone and whenever there were enemies that closer than, say, 1000 yards, even if they were in the woods or behind a hill, the game would load the textures for their character models. So the hard drives would rattle and tick. We used this as trashy 'radar' to know that we were about to get into a fight. A couple enterprising folks actually put contact mics on their hard drives and amplified it through their speakers so they could hear it if we happened to be talking in Teamspeak at the same time. Once SSDs showed up, that went away, but a few folks stuck with platter drives specifically for the early warning system, as it isn't a really demanding game on the system, and they gained something by keeping it on a lovely WD Green drive.

it's also possible to "fear" change because you believe the change will on balance make things worse. it's not inherently bad to try to prevent the world from becoming materially worse, just because it's new

i have my camera on for every zoom class and none of my students do, ever. zero percent. at the beginning of the pandemic it was maybe a third of each class but now it's literally zero. we aren't allowed to require it because students might have privacy concerns (but i must not, i guess). i can request that they have their cameras on, and i have periodically, but inevitably after 20 minutes they're all off again. it really bums me out.

half the time they don't even turn their cameras on for zoom advising appointments unless i ask. and still then it might be "oh i don't have a camera." sure.
