My main meeting practice is meditation to control my growing frustration at seeing people sit around blathering

Congrats! Glad to hear that topic ended up being one that the audience related to.

Nice, glad to see you get good coverage!

Does the other person have to sign up too? I thought it was only the person initiating the meeting.

You can, but it just adds a layer of annoyance. Also whenever you use the free service now, they keep giving you "complimentary" pro features, in an effort to get you to sign up for the paid version. Just your typical effort to increase conversion. I'm sure it works, but at the cost of being a pain in the ass. Guess we can't complain since it is still free.

Yeah, it made me do it last time I used it. At least the process was pretty painless, but now they shower me with marketing emails.

Very sad news

I'm listening to the new MC Frontalot album:

Well done!

I saw one of these at LANFest Seattle a few months back. I thought it was just a projector until they told me it has a PC in it as well. The projector isn't that bright, as you'd expect for a small form factor, but certainly enough for a presentation in a regular sized room with the lights off.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Simpsons quotes:

What is best in life?

My bet is that Starbucks et al weren't making enough money to cover what they were paying Facebook for the privilege of getting suggested. Contracts are ending and now FB is scrapping the program.

Another hit to net neutrality - AT&T charges you to deliver the data, and charges Netflix to deliver the data. It's as if Amazon paid Fedex to deliver the package, and then you had to pay Fedex to deliver the package.

You need it if you want 4K at 60hz.

And that is a weakness of single char excerpts from security codes. There's no good way to hash those, so they have to be stored in plain text. So make sure you don't reuse that as a PIN elsewhere.

Yeah, we're looking into two-factor authentication to replace the security code.

Agreed - we were just talking about that yesterday here in the office. Most people don't setup a portal because we don't make it easy and walk them through it. It's on the list of things to improve

also, while you might have purchased at that email address, could you have setup your portal account using a different email address? Or not set one up at all?
