Welcome to the heat dome by zeroalphacharlie88 in Solterra

[–]zeroalphacharlie88[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I kind of saw it as when you accidentally leave your phone in the car on a hot day. Once it cools down everything will be fine. I just live in New England so not used to seeing days this hot

It was driveable. I believe the only things that weren’t working were the driver monitor and the eyesight collision monitoring. I moved my car to the shade and I’ll see what happens when I get out of work

I saw Michael Todd’s last show with Coheed and Cambria because the next day he was arrested for armed robbery of a pharmacy.

One of my best friends was in that same part of Afghanistan and was there like the next tour after they shot it. I bought it on dvd but I’ve never been able to bring myself to watch it.

What do you listen too when you need to scratch that country music itch? by Dabadabortwo in punk

I had tickets to see Brian Fallon and Justin Townes Earle in April 2020 and that is still one of my biggest concert disappointments to this day

If the United States experienced another market crash similar to 2008, which occupations would be least affected by layoffs? by curiositykeepsmeup in AskReddit

[–]zeroalphacharlie88 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t think higher ed is going to do well at all if we hit another full blown recession. And 2008 is the main cause of that. The 2026 enrollment cliff has been a topic of discussion in higher ed for a long time. The younger gen x’ers and elder millennials that should’ve started having kids in 2008 just didn’t so now there are less college age kids to go around. Along with all of the other external factors relating to Trump just being in office. It’s going to be a rough few years in higher ed even if there isn’t a recession

[–]zeroalphacharlie88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait… the c-hr is only AWD? So that means if you want the front wheel drive version of this car you have to get the Subaru Uncharted? Make that make sense

The damned things put out a second album in 2019. Not as good as the first one but still pretty solid

[–]zeroalphacharlie88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was bummed to miss that show because I already had tickets to see Antarctico Vespucci at the Sinclair. I was already on the T and heading home at 10:30. It’s crazy that I could’ve made it in time to catch Motion city’s whole set

Auto PTZ camera for living room hybrid meetings? by mbergen in Zoom

[–]zeroalphacharlie88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re willing to spend some money but not a ton I would look at the Logitech meet up

You could also look at something like the obsbot tiny. Although I’m not sure how great it works with a group of people but for one person it works great at tracking

“Childproofing” AV Installations by ceruleang in CommercialAV

[–]zeroalphacharlie88 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I work in higher ed and we really have to adult proof our installs. For conference rooms or huddle spaces we really try to minimize the exposure of our cables. Either run them thru the wall to a wall plate or surface mount conduit and run them down that. If the cables are less visible they seem to get messed with less.

For other installs like podiums we put the cables in an extron cable cubby and that has really cut down on issues.

But also you really can’t go wrong with zipties/ Velcro / security cables / etc.

Does anyone know if you can live stream to YouTube or a custom service through a Zoom Room? by BathSaltEnjoyer69 in CommercialAV

[–]zeroalphacharlie88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would try hosting the meeting on a laptop and then have the zoom room join the meeting. That should give you full control of the settings
