Get rid of Zoom if it's not working.

Speaking of Zoom. Have you seen the new "Zoom Bombing" going around? By default Zoom enables all participants to display video. So people are finding open meetings, and playing porn, or other inappropriate stuff on their video. USC got hit. I warned a friend who has an 8 year old, and the local school district is doing Zoom now.

Oh geez, that's just wonderful.



EDIT: Got the video to help solve THAT problem...

No I didnt hear about that, that is horrendous! 

I was going to ask you guys if you had thought of joining video meetings wearing like a clown tie, or a wig or something subtle so that most people wouldnt notice.. Like something funny so that halfway through a meeting, someone would notice and just burst out laughing. I thought about shaving my head but not all in one go. Like maybe just do the centre one day, join some video calls, then next day, do the right side etc. That would be pretty obvious though

The thought of that makes me laugh for more than 15 seconds.

I have a rule that I'm automatically not allowed to do anything that the thought of makes me laugh for more than 15 seconds, as it could lead to unemployment.
