One way another, GUI or not, that start screen is butt ugly. Functional but.....

Awesome!

Thanks for the heads up.

The immediately important bit (until a resolution) from the article:
Disabling WebRTC can be done by installing the WebRTC Block extension for Chrome, while in Firefox the “media.peerconnection.enabled” needs to be set to “false” on the advanced configuration page (about:config).

That's a great idea, and so cheap. The resolution on phones today is so high that you can start doing some really interesting things with them. This was brilliant!

Who knew that so many startups valued at over a billion dollars existed! Those are very high numbers. And eight of them are over ten billion dollars!

Back on track...

When does a start up stop being a start up?
Seems like they are over valued if they are still a start up BUT patents and ideas are what big business need to survive today, so bigger companies will pay up big for the innovation of the little ones. So, I guess it's not really over valued, just incredibly volatile.

It is similar to how LTE was re-labeled 4G because it was "fast" and never mind that it was 3G already. Apparently the idea of what a "generation" was was lost in just two generations!

Marketing, it's all about the marketing. 4G sounds better than 3G LTE.
The LTE stuff wouldn't sell as well if they didn't label it 4G because the uneducated populace wouldn't understand. They still don't but that's another issue. 😛

Lol, pwnt

@Reid-Cooper wonderful

@coliver It's true, but the local districts have been failing hard too.

Agreed, seems like every district but one around us is increasing taxes like crazy, the one where I live now had to get a vote to increase taxes this year over the usual annual increase...

@scottalanmiller For sure, but I thought there was one to be integrated by MS... shrug

I think so, but sadly they aren't leading even in their own space here.

A bit snarky, but some good points too.

Hopefully this means even more commercial development in FreePBX. It's a good product but could use polishing.

The new version that "just" became stable is fairly good. I'm going to deploy it to replace an old Trixbox server at our NC site. Not flashy by any stretch but very functional.

I know, it is a very young project!
