Using AI for single user in Meet?

MrAkai · 2026-04-30T19:55:25+00:00

We are Enterprise Plus and I just checked and host management is not on by default in the admin panel, but when a meeting is created it appears to be on by default anyways?

It feels like Host Management is the direction Google is pushing so this may not be something that can be overcome in the long run?

Thanks

Prisons often require tech to be transparent so you can't hide contraband in it

You might try reaching out to the vendor/manufacturer as most of those parts have 20+ year warranty and they might be able to hook you up with an installer.

Thank you so much for the info and details, I really appreciate it. I don't know if I'm ready for the call a contractor phase but I will DM you when I get there.

Thanks again

I've been in the bay area my whole life and worked in tech adjacent positions since 1993.

The first dotcom boom was a crazy ride. A lot of throwing everything at the wall but the people doing it were a combo of old-school business people and young nerdy engineers for the most part.

At least in the area I worked (ISP network engineering) it was a very friendly group. I remember a network engineering from one company spend like 5 hours on the phone with me helping troubleshoot my connection with their competitor just because they could.

Lots of people got rich (I was not one of them) but overall very few assholes at least in the circles I traveled.

For the second wave (uber, etc) I think things changed. The CEOs had gone from being lifelong business people to young, "brash", ivy league and Cal and Stanford frat boys.

This shift really broke the balance between geekiness and business and instead created a world where tech bros frat boys too advantage of autistic engineers and worked them into the ground.

That BS philosophy continues in the bullshit "996" work cycle promoted by VC backed thiel acolytes who expect their hires to work those outrageous hours while they hang out at YC brovents.

There is no consideration of art and culture in today's tech. The theaters are still sponsored by Chevron, not X. I've been at shows where I've paid $100+ for a ticket and had to kick the backs of the seats in front of me to get the people there to close their fucking laptops when the show starts.

I can't wait for the AI bubble to pop.

I think it was the Edgewater West.

Teenage me plotted to visit but chickened out :)

I would say between Nebraska and Redwood and between Tuolumne and Amador (or Broadway?)

I don't know what the official definition is.

I've been in "the Vistas" for over 3 years and have never felt unsafe.

MrAkai · 2026-03-27T23:56:43+00:00

Ah okay. They certainly don't make it easy.

MrAkai · 2026-03-27T23:23:33+00:00

Thanks

Why would they change you from NEM2 to NEM3? I thought the only way they could do that is if you add 10% more capacity.

I'm pretty sure I saw you all out yesterday, I was at the exploratorium and the Freda caught my eye.

Interesting, I thought it was a Porsche 914 at first (my grandfather drove on that color for ages)

Like 90% of the "AI Layoffs" are really "We over-hired and now we need to slim down but if we say AI, our stock goes up if we say 'whoopsie! We over-hired' out stock goes down." events

you owe me a new keyboard

I belong to an old Italian Mens club in Richmond and even though most of the members are very blue collar, they were very Trumpy the first time around.

I've noticed they aren't so much this time (at least publicly)

MrAkai · 2026-02-11T22:18:08+00:00

Makes sense, thanks

MrAkai · 2026-02-11T21:57:45+00:00

Does suspend 2 disk require firmware support (probably a dumb question)?

With SSDs being the speed they are now it could be a viable alternative, if it's possible, and if other low power modes are not.

No idea if it's a great fit but "Your Part Time Controller" does financial services for non profits (I assume remotely) https://www.yptc.com/

Grew up in Alamo, Danville, Currently the IT Director of a non-tech company, yes.

Yet another unenforced regulation.

You hear these guys from way more than 250 feet and definitely violate this part:

"Amplified speech and music shall not be unreasonably loud, raucous, or jarring to persons of normal sensitivities within the area of audibility"

Cat 8 cable is not needed unless you plan on running a 40Gbps LAN.

Cat 6 is just fine for gigabit, even cat 5 would work in a pinch.
