I worked in an agency that had one of these in germany. You are not allowed to build new ones but the ones that are installed can still be used. It's kinda scary for the first three or four times but after that it's an amazing use of transportation in an office. The thing that most people freaks out is going over the turn because everything is dark and you see the motors directly in front of your face.

We dressed ours up as tunnel of horror on halloween, good times.

The redflag for me is 60 interviews in 30 days. smh

hey you can use it in a browser now which is better than what we had in the last 5 years.

The browser version is a joke. It makes my 22 core, 128GB desktop look like a 2000's netbook. Even simple text chat is ungodly slow. This is not over a VPN either.

Really? I know that they had a Java version, which sometimes worked with luck on some machines. Last time I wanted to join a WebEx conference, a few weeks ago, I didn't find a web version and ended up installing the Android App, which gave me such a bad experience ... which made me leave the meeting early even though content was interesting.

Last fall I couldn't use it until I changed my useragent to indicate I was on Windows.

The browser version makes me want to tear my eyes out. It takes forever to load, and when I do get into a meeting, sometimes (like 70% of the time), the audio doesn't load.

But you can’t share your desktop.

Worked for me when I last tried couple of months ago, Ubuntu 20.04 with Firefox. But maybe I was being a test subject (since I am an employee).

So many broken features - whiteboards and rejoining breakout sessions for two.

I use a Asrock J3355B for my little nas/homeserver it idles at 8W and "spikes" to 15W while decoding movies. It's a bit pricier as a raspi but it has a lot more features. 2 Sata Ports, PCIEX Slot up to 16gb ram etc but most important it is completely silent.

Well shit isn't it nice that other people who don't like it have a choice now and for you nothing changes.

This is just fraud nothing more or less. It's not even that interesting of an exploit and especially not worthy 689 words.

Thanks, I'll still donate to both.

Because you are hosting your own legally owned music library on your server.

I don't expect that will be good enough for the RIAA. There are enough similarities to being a radio station or paid streaming service that RIAA would still want to strip the flesh from the bones.

Then it's up to the RIAA to (1) come and find every single instance out there, (2) get access to the instance, (3) find copyrighted content and (4) demonstrate that is beyond fair-use.

Yes, it is. That hasn't stopped them from copyright abusing shenanigans before.

I know it's mind-boggling, but there are also a few other countries outside US and A. :)

In Sweden as an example, it's OK to share with a small group of friends[1].

Thanks unicornporn for pointing out the world is a big place. Ive got no love for RIAA or MPAA. I am a little surprised that my stance wasnt more dominant on HN. Did everybody forget the litigation against p2p sharing software and raids of PirateBay and Megaupload?

I do think that federated services will finaly set media free. But I also expect that copyright holders will try their best to kill a few servers that are big enough to catch their attention.

Arr matey

If its an ISA card you can probably clone it yourself.

That's a hell of a lot more work than "install DOSBox".

How would you do that? Is this a thing now?

Yup, Home-Brew ISA Cards is a thing. There are people out there who have reverse engineered some to create clones, not only for ISA but for more modern buses too.

Does it have to be working to be reverse engineered?

Typically folks will go looking for these services after the device has failed :(

Every messaging app above a critical user threshold, yes.
