I used to work as IT on a multinational and have few things in this life than i hate more than printers and owls, but they found a way tonmake printers even shittier

We tried the owls in some of our meeting rooms and we scrapped those.

What's the point of having a 360 camera in the center of the room when everyone will stare at the big TV anyway? All the people at the other end see is everyone looking sideway to the camera.

If you buy their TV bar unit, apparently you can pair the two to cover longer tables. The people in the back are covered by the table unit and the front is covered by the bar.

I know this from reading knowledge base articles because no organization I've ever been apart of ever wanted to spend the money on a good system that covered everything properly, so I have never had the chance to do it.

It automatically focuses on whoever is speaking.

Still, most people will look at the TV during the meeting, so all you see is one side of their faces.

I took one of the broken ones from my office, repaired it, and now it allows my dnd campaign to see the DM and all the other players reactions when playing remotely.

What do you have against owls?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Are you talking to me? Oh, you weren't? Then who were you talking to?

Who? Who? Who? Who?

Not hooty owls, it's a conferencing thing.

I have nothing against the damn pests until they start to making their nests near my house, since the college the same owl have his nest near and the fucking screaming the whole night.

Sometimes even when the mother abandon the nest and the owls grow up one asshole offspring refuses to hunt and spend the night screaming wait for his mom back with, until it gave up on starvation and goes way or (hopefully) dies
