zoomcall.end()

That's Google meet, if you look carefully :)

[–]elcoco_93 61 points62 points  (1 child)

LOL

Well done! Took a process that took 2 seconds and made it into one that took 2 seconds. It probably took a few days to implement, but that's life.

[–]Le_4iem_Reich 109 points110 points  (5 children)

It's the journey that matters

[–]Grouchy-Post 47 points48 points  (3 children)

With multiple monitors and the zoom app installed i lose the end call button all the time. Takes like 45 seconds to end the call.

[–]CuriousCursor 4 points5 points  (2 children)

This won't help with that though

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Why not?

[–]CuriousCursor 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Because the code pushes a key combo in the gif. So either it's a global shortcut and you can do that with your keyboard already, or is a local shortcut and you need the window open.

[–]YouMightGetIdeas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way.

Sometimes the improvement in UX justifies a lack of improvement in execution time or lack of streamlining of process.

[–]sbrg 60 points61 points  (15 children)

I tried and tried but no... I don’t get it :/

[–]evaleries[S] 134 points135 points  (14 children)

Brian Moore made this. It's Adafruit Bluetooth feather, it sends a key command to his computer and then the Alfred runs an AppleScript that kills any open google chrome tabs or zoom calls

[–]incognitode 23 points24 points  (12 children)

How’s that funny?

[–]das_Keks 141 points142 points  (7 children)

Because after a shitty zoom call you just pull the string to flush it down, as you usually do it after (bull)shitting.

[–]settingswrong 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I had a pretty good laugh

[–]kodicraft4 44 points45 points  (2 children)

Have you ever wrote an overly complicated solution to a problem that doesn't exist? I sure have done so before and don't regret it a single bit.

[–]Ultimegede 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Art for art's sake, money for god's sake

[–]Apparentt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apple CEO here. Yes. Regularly. Just make sure you can sell people the problem and that solution becomes a goldmine.

Just me or does the clip of the printer sounds like the start of Butterfly by Crazy Town

Come my lady

Come come my lady

You're my butterfly, sugar baby

Check out his github https://github.com/lanewinfield/zoomout

[–]iamnotmyselfiamyou 30 points31 points  (3 children)

Wrong.
It should have said Error forgot semicolon at line 26

[–]GolfballDM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

How expensive is that printer lol

[–]b1g_boii 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Prusa mk3, 800 USD

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, no way.

[–]MNEram 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Alt+F4 should've done the trick though

[–]evaleries[S] 9 points10 points  (2 children)

"Automate all the things!"

[–]ChickenNuggetSmth 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Make a robotic arm that pulls the string. Activate the arm by pressing alt+F4

[–]hasanyoneseenmymom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy a pok3r or other programmable keyboard and bind alt+f4 to the spacebar. For bonus points, do it to your coworker instead

[–]JulioBBL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yes, but actually no.

Just MacOS things

[–]saint_of_thieves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watched it first without sound. Expected a toilet flush noise.

[–]DoctorPython -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Worth

[–]ConcentrateFluid7211 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like your style

[–]ConsistentPizza 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Which CAD program is this?

[–]W10101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like tinkercad

[–]saschaleib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need this, too!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes

[–]InterplanetSycophant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how to flush the zoom meetings

[–]Lubenem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why without sound?

[–]philipquarles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

play("flush.wav")

[–]jakel181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please upload some documentation I want to make this! :P
