    I hate that often Microsoft Teams is the only piece of software I can get to work for sharing a screen with the layman. Many cross-platform user-friendly options don’t work reliably on Linux, but by some weird twist of fate, I get it to work more often than anything else.

    Yes, for an IT person’s own solution, you’d just use a VPN or something, but I’m rarely working with people that are technical enough for this.











  • I did my searching based on music/CDs since the wording is a lot more clear, but the same rules apply since were still talking about copyright infringement.

    As long you’re making the copy for personal use and aren’t selling/distributing, you are fully in the clear:

    • It’s okay to copy music onto special Audio CD-R’s, mini-discs, and digital tapes (because royalties have been paid on them) – but not for commercial purposes.

    As far as ethical, this is mostly up to you, but unless it’s from an independent artist/distributor, I personally see it as: if you were never going to be a customer to begin with, they’re not losing anything. I am, however, against then reselling it yourself. Ymmv.


  • Not being able to see the face of the person who does the stupid thing also has a massive impact on how people think of the other drivers. Similar to how (most) people who would chew someone out over the phone will hesitate to do the same in person.

    My phone support days had way more customers willing to be nasty than any of my retail jobs.
