    1. Entire California School Board Resigns After Accidental Zoom Broadcast
      It’s hard to believe that almost a year into the pandemic pushing everything virtual, there are people still struggling to get the hang of Zoom. And yet here we are.

    @storm #Zoom seems to be very hit or miss. I've had about 50% success rate ... but every success has been lecture style, where only the presenter's camera and microphone were shared.

    Every time it was a family (or other group's) "hey, let's have a meeting", it failed.

    #Zoom fails again! I wonder if I should start calling it and things like it #suckware
    This time it connected, but the Mic didn't work, and the audio came out of the speakers instead of the headset. I tried it on my Android, but it straight up failed on there, not sure why.
    I really do like that suckware term though lol. Maybe that should apply to anything not opensource?

    A memorial service via #Zoom. That as different, especially the part where the pastor was speaking in an empty building (horrible echo, almost a ringing sound).

      As someone with over a dozen egregious confirmed security bugs with Zoom I can't discourage their products strongly enough. They are one of the most security negligent companies I have ever interacted with. Good to see FTC is calling them out on it. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2020/11/ftc-requires-zoom-enhance-its-security-practices-part-settlement

    Admitting wrongdoing (or pushing through to a final judgement of wrongdoing) is important because this is intentionally lying to customers, and as a consequence, making customers unknowingly non-compliant with their relevant regulations.

    Potentially, medical offices that were using #Zoom during the period in question could have faced unexpected lawsuits. Therefore, IMO, a settlement that doesn’t include both a fine and some restitution is inadequate.

    I’m not thrilled with this (or most) such settlements. As the article mentions, customers and users of #Zoom won’t get any compensation. As always, the company admits no wrongdoing.

    > The settlement is supported by the FTC's Republican majority, but Democrats on the commission objected because the agreement doesn't provide compensation to users.

    > "Today, the Federal Trade Commission has voted to propose a settlement with Zoom that follows an unfortunate FTC formula," FTC Democratic Commissioner Rohit Chopra said. "The settlement provides no help for affected users. It does nothing for small businesses that relied on Zoom's data protection claims. And it does not require Zoom to pay a dime. The Commission must change course."

    > FURTHER READING

    > Zoom brings in former Facebook security head amid lawsuits, investigations

    > Under the settlement, "Zoom is not required to offer redress, refunds, or even notice to its customers that material claims regarding the security of its services were false," Democratic Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter said. "This failure of the proposed settlement does a disservice to Zoom's customers, and substantially limits the deterrence value of the case." While the settlement imposes security obligations, Slaughter said it includes no requirements that directly protect user privacy.

    > Zoom is separately facing lawsuits from investors and consumers that could eventually lead to financial settlements.

    #FCC settles with #Zoom over intentionally false E2EE claims.

    > Zoom has agreed to upgrade its security practices in a tentative settlement with the Federal Trade Commission, which alleges that Zoom lied to users for years by claiming it offered end-to-end encryption.

    > "[S]ince at least 2016, Zoom misled users by touting that it offered 'end-to-end, 256-bit encryption' to secure users' communications, when in fact it provided a lower level of security," the FTC said today in the announcement of its complaint against Zoom and the tentative settlement. Despite promising end-to-end encryption, the FTC said that "Zoom maintained the cryptographic keys that could allow Zoom to access the content of its customers' meetings, and secured its Zoom Meetings, in part, with a lower level of encryption than promised."

    Tried to open a #Zoom conference on Rutabaga, but first it froze the whole thing, then after a forced reboot, I was eventually able to get audio-only.

    If you don’t install their malware client, you can eventually get a view in browser link (click download the client, then let your browser discard the unwanted software), but you have to cross a hideous ReCaptcha gauntlet first.

    One of my sisters is back at school. The students are still doing online work from home, but the teachers are actually in their classrooms. They’re using #Zoom (a class-wide session in the morning and another one in the afternoon) and using some online curriculum in between.

    The school district’s IT department is overloaded. They’re on “no overtime”, but they aren’t permitted to do anything or set anything up until administrators / managers decide what to do. Usually, that is shortly before it has to be implemented and deployed to all district schools.

    The district is trying to use the pandemic restrictions as a way to save money, while the employee unions say “we still have to pay our bills, why shouldn’t you pay yours?” ... so there is a potential of a strike.

    I get the impression that this district is one of the worst in the state (reason why my sister stays there ... the kids in the district got the short end of the stick and if no one fights to make things better, that will be lifelong).

    The other sister that still works for the school system has not said whether her district is doing in-classroom or online learning. I know her district is also a financially poor district, with a high level of non-English-speaking households. I know they issued mobile hotspots to some households, but many other households still had no Internet service at home.

    Everyone keeps telling me there’s no download needed for #Zoom, but #MSEdge needed a download in order to handle the meeting. (I did not join a previous Zoom meeting my family held in mid-May because it needed a plugin downloaded for #Firefox.) Today, my co-worker S refused to join because of the plugin download for #MSIE 11.

    You can now join #Zoom calls using #Firefox.

    Well, apparently, you always could, but now audio will work.

    Also, the meeting organizer must click a button to generate a web link or you’ll be taken to a page telling you to install their desktop program or a browser plugin.

    1. You Can Finally Join Zoom Calls in Firefox
      A quirk of Mozilla’s Firefox browser is that it lets you join a Zoom call via the web, no separate app downloaded needed, but you can’t say anything on the call. Or at least, you couldn’t before the latest update.

    #Uber lays off 3700 employees via #Zoom conferencing.

    Is this the equivalent of breaking up via text message? It feels like it, but I do not know how they could have done it better. Did they tell 500-1000 at a time, or sit down and have one-to-one videochats?

      Uber, which has seen its ride-hailing business drop 80% in the COVID-19 crisis, used Zoom conference calls to lay off 3,700 employees last week.

    While I was on #Wire with #sonTwo and #GS3, some of my siblings had their own videochat on #JitsiMeet with my mom. Apparently, it did not go so well this time, so they went on #Zoom (without my mom).

    One of my brothers sent me an e-mail where he accused me of brainwashing her against Zoom. I sent a long response. It took me a while to write, so hopefully I got past reacting to his accusation.

    I said I don’t know why your camera suddenly didn’t work today. It has worked in all the other videochats. I don’t know why another brother’s microphone didn’t work today. Likewise, it has worked in all the other videochats.

    Kenny called me to ask about #Zoom. He has a relative that got invited to a Zoom conference and asked him for advice.

    Told him to suggest that the meeting needs a password. Also sent him a link to #Jitsi_Meet, in case they want to try that instead.
