Works fine here, Edge 107

So what happens if there's actually space on the left side of the notch to put something? In this video, the app menu is already bumped up against the notch, so I'm not sure what they expected.

To me, a negative response says "We have evaluated our policy and decided that we will not stop this." A non-response says "A frontline agent didn't know how to make a call on a non-downtime ticket from a non-customer so now it's in a bureaucratic black hole and nobody has actually read your email and probably never will." Which is still crappy, but not really malicious in the same way.

Well I guess that answers that! Megazord is the robot formed when all the Power Rangers assemble their smaller robots together. Voltron might be more widely known?

A Crypto Megazord! Or is that too dated? :D

The advantages of OBS are clear, but I still don't understand the virtual camera. Why not just screen-share OBS' preview window?

I'm asking specifically about the virtual camera. Why not just screen-share OBS' preview window?

Most meeting software already allows you to broadcast your webcam and a screen-share session at the same time. So this is only necessary if you want your webcam feed to be embedded inside your screen-share, and you want your screen-share to be your webcam feed. For example, this sounds like it would be a horrible experience in something like a Zoom gallery view. Am I understanding correctly?

Anyone know a good alternative to this that isn't meant to be fleet-scale? Getting OBD data over Bluetooth is widespread enough, but their service also made it super easy to generate mileage expenses. Also downloading a CSV of all my trips made for some fun data crunching. I'd love to keep those things going even if it means self-hosting something.

If I'm that special type of business client that is actually using Microsoft Search, cool, maybe I want an easy option to change the default engine. But that should be opt-in. Because Microsoft Search is also opt-in. They are deploying this to all O365 customers, regardless.

Check out NCrunch. It's an inexpensive add-on which does this specifically.

The author actually has a separate blog post where he talks about this, and uses a modified HDMI splitter to allow the device to work with encrypted content. It involves more soldering, of course. http://hacks.esar.org.uk/hdmi-splitter-hack/

Because my threat model is a Wifi pineapple. I don't need protection from the entire Internet and all the governments of the world. I want to make sure an overzealous college kid isn't stealing my cookies.
