My job is not getting replaced anytime soon.

Good adviceā€¦

anyone uses Twingate for remote access?

Any feedback? pro/con?
better alternatives or way to do it?

ive used teamviewer and google remote desktop for years now

@Hamspiced, since you are a fan of the Mandela effect Iā€™ll post you a story about it and why I think that itā€™s going to get a lot worseā€¦

Recently, I was having a conversation about networking gear and VPNs and the person I was thinking to claimed that some Mikrotik routers donā€™t support OpenVPNā€¦ I told him that he was wrong, that all Mikrotik routers and APs come with RouterOS and that this software supports OpenVPN and a bunch of other protocols out of the box.

And I quickly learned that his source for the nonsense was no less than ChatGPTā€¦ AI hallucinations are already spreading misinformation and rumors. And as long as humans are gullable and lazy, this is going to get worseā€¦ And as AI models improve, the BS is going to get more insidious and harder to spot.

Well, I guess Iā€™m glad that the lump of fat thatā€™s sitting between my ears is working properly. And that I donā€™t trust AI chatbots. Except for Pilgrimsmaster, but heā€™s the only AI I trust.

Had that happen on multiple devices, connections, browsers, tried all the normal troubleshooting stuff to no avail. Magically fixed itself after a day or so

Probably the codecā€¦ Firefox does this to me but then I try it on a chromium browser like brave and it works fine. What browser are you using

Yeah all Firefox

Ima try chrome later ty

@Pilgrimsmaster I donā€™t have the scroll bar so no download option

Also no download option in the context menu which has been there in the past.

It must first start to buffer because the download option is presented as a function of the browserā€™s media player, which is not being displayed until it begins to render.

I used to have issues, but since everything was down for maintenance, videos work perfectly for me

No luck on chrome;( but atleast there is an error and no unlimited buffering

And i can hear the audio

But no vid

The vid in question was a direct download from Reddit so I would assume h264 but it might be some strange variant of it
