DELETE CASCADE posted:hangouts meet has worked better for me than ringcentral yeah ringcentral's meeting stuff is just rebranded zoom and zoom is not great. Teams has been working fine for us, but we also are used to working from home a ton and all of our call center staff work on what is basically a remote model even if they're in the call center. our biggest problem sending people remote right now is getting enough USB headsets.

burning swine posted:correct if you really don't want to shave you can use petroleum jelly or k-y to make a half rear end seal. it never works that well and you have to wash the mask and your face afterwards, but if you just can't stand to be clean shaven and don't anticipate heavy or long exposure it's an option i guess. but really just loving shave if it gets that dire.

little jones's preschool finally did the right thing and sent out a "keep your kids home unless you're a critical worker and need it" email and let people stop paying for tuition while they keep kids at home that'll offset the pay cut from RSU comp being in the toilet

In real life, you open your mouth, start to make a sound, then if someone else has already started talking you back off. over a typical video link you don't actually notice them talking in time to stop. so people end up talking over each other, then try to awkwardly figure out who should speak first, then nobody talks after that unless they're specifically called upon because they don't want to deal with that hassle. The more people involved, the quieter it gets.

Got sent to full wfh I expected the VPN to fall over now that pretty much everyone has been kicked off campus minus our skeleton crew, some random staff, physical facilities people, and whatever poor grad students with lovely advisors- but networking actually got a bunch of money and hardware. Something somehow sort of went right.

went to Costco today because my wife wanted to go and we needed to pick up some stuff for her parents too; were surprisingly few people there and they had signs up at the front on what they're out of; had a wall of pallets at the entrance for reasons I discovered later -- I guess they're limiting the number of people in the store at one time and people were already starting to line up when we left now I have like $500 in cash from my rebate certificate so no need for ATMs for a bit

rotor posted:"video is recommended but not required," then briefly summarize your reasons for asking video to be on. There, i have solved your problems. yeah, i did already figure that one out. just venting. some of the classes seem to like video and some don't. idk. it would be great if there was a way in zoom that they could have a big room where they all talk to each other in a mess while watching and listening to me, but i don't get to hear what they're saying. i think that would be excellent for community-building. like maybe they should all join a discord at the same time. can zoom do that? send your audio among the group while the presenter can't hear it?

most conference systems allow the presenter to mute everyone and then people can click a button to "raise their hand" and the presenter can unmute them so they can ask the question. nobody knows how to do this though because most presenters are boomers dialing in without the conference app.

I've been doing videoconferencing every day multiple times a day for almost two years now and you get used to this really fast. The key phrase is "sorry go ahead" and whoever says it first gets to listen
