Processing is done on the device and only text is uploaded. Streaming audio would also be easy to detect.
- Comment on Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? 3 weeks ago:
Not in our case. We only take on clients that converted to browser based apps. Bit we are yet to convert the heavy excel users. The one we have converted are light Excel users and online excel is working just fine for them.
- Comment on Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL? 3 weeks ago:
We are trialing about 20 Linux desktops (10 Linux mint and 10 zorin OS) across 2 of our MSP clients.
So far, they have had zero technical tickets in 6 months. They did have double the average user training tickets compared to windows machines. Most of the questions were around how to work with editable PDFs and where is the document was they just saved (file manager questions).
Zorin OS seems to be winning on the usability metrics. Its very polished and more closely matching the UI of people coming from windows.

- Comment on Hackers can extract secret encryption keys from Apple’s Mac chips 1 month ago:
It can run with user level permissions, so any software or script can be used to extract keys. It does not need to be dedicated malware.
It’s probably something that can be done via browser extentions or possibly even Javascript, if they leverage a browser vulnerability to gain system user level access.
- Comment on How do I fix this? 1 month ago:
I agree with this approach.
- Comment on Fully working 270€ Nest Dropcam will no longer be supported. 2 months ago:
Word does spread and if there are enough of a group, people will likely setup 3rd party hosting solutions around supporting abandoned abut functional products.
But the secondary effect is likely to be that companies support their products for much longer.
- Comment on Fully working 270€ Nest Dropcam will no longer be supported. 2 months ago:
I vote for forced open sourcing of the server side components and communication protocols. That way people can create custom firmware or build support into generic NVRs
