Linux - Zoom for Physics

Yeah, everybody get zoom.  It works for chromebooks and old laptops running Linux.  It's amazing that it works.  I can never get any other Linux application working with video and sound, it requires a lot of fiddling with pulseaudio and such.  The whiteboard works with my Wacom drawing thing.


Next we must try a Zoom meeting, but I think we may have bandwidth problems because everybody is doing this.  I also got Zoom to put on makeup for me.  :)

Make a comment if you have direct fiber and we can start this.

    Thank goodness your abiding by the "social distancing" edicts
    Keeping away from the missus as well?

    Yesterday hubby and I were out walking, holding hands (shriek) and an authority figure drove right past us (police), behind us as we crossed in a crosswalk, and didn't say a word- nothing.

    Whew! As we were flagrantly flouting the social distance rules... but since we live together.. whatever!

  3. Hey Geofish!

    You and the dog better get your heads right soon!
    Or Doug Ford's gonna getcha!

    Are you going to talk physics on a regular basis?
    Or was this just you trying your zoom thing out?
    I'd like some physics basics- that would be interesting, Seriously!

    Not sure what you mean by direct fibre either?
    Is this the internet connection? We have Bell.

  4. Bell Fiber is a direct glass fibre to your house. You get 1 gigabit per second. Bell has a host of other things that are much slower.

    I'll do some more, then have a question session.
