Works fine here, Edge 107


107 already? Isn't Firefox and Chrome on a similar number despite having a 5 (?) year head start on the stupid number inflation game?

Does MS still believe that higher = better?


I think it’s more that Edge follows Chromium’s version numbers


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.


Then the item overflows to the left. This applet just renders the whole set of icons as a single block instead of individually.


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.


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


I don't follow.


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?


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?


OBS can do a lot more than embed your webcam over your screen share.

You can:

- combine and arrange multiple portions of the screen as you like

- filter things

- switch between different layouts whilst you're in a call


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


I believe you aren't. Obs+virtual cam means you can run a live, multifeed show without having to rely on zooms auto-switching. Essentially, you can spotlight your feed, use zoom and other software to feed into obs, and then have a talking-heads experience with multiple people on the same view at the same time without the jumping jitters between two speakers. You can also then embed anything else you want, like video files, images, text, etc.

Essentially, it let's you run a live production over zoom and it is a blast. I've run two shows myself and helped with tech on another two with this setup and they've all been fun.


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


Good question. For me, it has just been experience.

I've found that the preview window tends to be glitchy. I don't know what causes it, but I've had obs crash on me multiple times when using that interface.

Also, the virtual cam allows you to output at a given resolution but if you want to do the same with the preview window, you need to scale it up which just beats more desktop space and may also just eat more resources.

Finally, it is just more direct of a connection. I would rather be able to get a feed directly out of a program rather than have to go the window-capture route as that just add an additional layer of possible bugs, jitter, and fail.


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.


What cars do you have? I'm the founder of Smartcar.com and we might be able to help. No OBD devices needed.


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.

According to the article, it's only the "ProPlus" version of Office 365.

For now ;-)


No they aren’t, read the post. It’s for ProPlus subscribers only, which is a plan that includes Microsoft search.


Pro plus is pretty much every business and university. It’s not like you buy pro plus for the amazing Bing integrations.


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/


exactly. its yet another project to jump in :)


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.


And there were much better and cheaper companies for that like NordVPN and VyprVPN.

Neither of them would protect you against governments that much, but they do protect your privacy.

Do you want another place where all your data has been logged? I bet McAfee will have a field day with all the data tunnelbear has accumulated over the years.
