It's ghost ship software from the 1990s.
Pascal!!??? Wow... Hop in the way back machine. 1985, Apple IIe, computer math 2, sophomore in high school. We have come a looooooooong way.
I have issues with Spectrum generally speaking. Worst ISP I have worked with in my career
Comcast is my nemesis. The support phone call ends up either in a transfer to nowhere or my boss laughing at me for screaming at the the Robo-Slut, "GIVE ME THE HUMAN!"

@JaredBusch I like how you think about the camera placement.
This has long been a minor pet peeve of mine. When presenting/speaking, your eyes should be just off from the camera. As if someone was standing next to it.
I'm not sure which is worse, staring directly at the camera or staring sideways/down at the screen.
And you have a small ring light too.
I specifically bought this mount because it had that. I have to wear my fedroa when presenting. It is part of me after all
so I need a front light.
It seems like you could find a rectangular plate say 2"x 5" that was tapped to the threading needed to attach one end to the camera boom and place the camera "right side up" on the other. You could probably make yourself one cheap if you had the right sized Drill and tap.
Solving issues like this through garage engineering is like crack to me. Sorry to barge in on your thread. I need an intervention.

Fucking over it.
I'll be back later.
Calm down and be rational (as best you can) throwing a shit fit will not work in your favor. Good luck.
That's why I went for a walk and grabbed some food.
Smoked real quick.
It's not professional.Nor legal. US law says you get paid for time worked. In fact, you get paid for work done even if they don't make you do it - they have to fire you if they don't like paying for that extra time (I don't like that law, but I understand why it exists.) If you were in any way involved with them, whether reading email, avialable for a call, at your desk, thinking about their needs... they HAVE to pay. It's not a discussion, it's not a negotiation. The work has been done, the money is now yours. It is theft to not pay you. There's zero "up to the manager" here. Zero. And they can't fire you for demanding not to be stolen from, that's even more illegal. They can't threaten to hurt you to get you to work for free.
He's literally demanding that you be a slave.
here's the kicker; He doesn't have any say in what I get paid.
So then why is he asking/mentioning it or otherwise discussing your pay?
He's attempting to steal from him and convince him not to call the authorities.
My guess is that someone above this prick knows the law and will throw him out on his ass with one meeting regarding his bully tactics. Have you tried going over his head? By all means, get out of there, but at least take it to HR.
If they threaten to fire you because you aren't willing to work for free, walk out and go straight to a lawyer.
Cut and dry. You most likely wouldnt even have to put up a retainer. This sounds like a lawyers cha-ching wet dream.
@nadnerB Wow. I can hear it in my head. REEEEEECHCCHREEEEEEEECHCHHCHCHCHC......
C-Level finally serious about MFA..... Commence research position...... Engage.
@scottalanmiller talk about a soul searching read. Wow. Thanks Scott. Seriously.
Guilty. :raised_hand_medium-light_skin_tone:
I would sprint to a dumb phone that only had Signal on it.
DevOps just asked for an ssh server so they can set up a proxy for SQL server. I am having to look this up because I have never heard of it. If anyone has anything they can point me at that would give me an idea of what this is it would be great. Sorry for the low information.
Hello all. I am the black sheep of my office, the dreaded MAC guy. Looking forward to learning a lot.
@travisdh1 I was, but I think that has more to do with lacking experience. There is a lot of stuff to learn. WHEW!!
@scottalanmiller You can only put off IPv6 for so long. Eventually you will be assimilated. No pun intended.
OMG!!! people in my office know when i am talking to an auto attendant. Its the only time I scream obscenities. I am normally a mild mannered individual. These things make my blood boil. GET ME THE HUMAN!!!! Whew.... I feel a little better.
@scottalanmiller Kindred spirit. I have my associates degree in video electronics and production. Never used it. At the time I graduated, I didnt know anyone in the industry so it never panned out. Editing was my absolute favorite thing to do. To take the raw footage and create something out of it was very satisfying. Good for you man!!
Apology if this has been asked. I searched but did not find.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to limit browser tabs? We run citrix xenapp on vmware and the redit, spotify, msn, facebook, porn hub, name your favorite time suck memory and bandwidth hog website are killing us.
@scottalanmiller Thanks man!!! Review time.
