Do you want people commenting under every US news story about the dronings, Lybia, Syria, Iraq, and the whole shebang? Let's keep this website to the nerdy news. Those living in glass houses should especially avoid stone throwing sports...

You can attach a shotgun mic to your camera. The video feed out of the camera has a 200-400ms delay, so if you use a mic other than the one on your camera (or an external one attached to the said camera) you will get unsynchronized sound. streaming is different, because everyone uses OBS, and can introduce a delay for sound to sync the feeds up. No such thing for something that is supposed to work as a simple communication device such as webcam.

You can find generic HDMI->USB dongles on Amazon and eBay for under 20 USD. They support up to 4K/30p input, and convert to an FHD output. They work on PC, Mac and Linux as a Plug&Play webcam.

This software does not transmit audio, so it's not a full webcam replacement. Buying a cheap HDMI to USB dongle is much better, and will work on any camera that provides a clean HDMI output. And it's 2020, how come not every single camera in the market is not a plug&play webcam already and requires software/dongles?

Don Ho (the dev in discussion) is not a government. He is an individual that is making an stand. He has been pretty consistent in that regard, and I think he deserves credit and support for it.

He moved the project repo from source forge at the time when the US sanctions hit the project, and made an independent website to keep it free and accessible to people in those countries. As one of those impacted people at the time, I'm still grateful to him. So chapeau to Mr. Don Ho! He has my deepest respect and gratitude.

So let me see if I get it right. The US president helped investors raid a successful Chinese company and buy it for an established and cooperating US corp using various federal financial and security apparatus. You Americans need to seriously do something about the slide towards the integration of corporations and state. You are dangerously close to the edge of the cliff before the oligarchs take over.

Iran also brought down an RQ170 in 2011. How many hints do you need to understand drones in Iranian airspace are both unwelcome and vulnerable. Shooting cruise missiles at Iranian installations is an open declaration of war, and Iran will respond in kind. Good luck with that.

What gives you the idea US can drone strike inside Iran? US has trouble keeping its drones in the air around Iran, let alone inside.

Zoom closes the account of one Chinese `activist`, uproar, outrage and indignation. Twitter closes 170,000 of `propagandists` without much explanation, praise from the system. What's next? A glass wall around Western civilization in which we won't know what's beyond our amplified group think? When did internal Chinese (or anyone else's) propaganda become the concern of a free and private western company? And when will this slippery slope affect us living in the west? Because I sure as fvk don't want to become like a clone of China trying to avoid becoming China.

As far as I could tell (living abroad myself and getting the news from the friends, family and the online media there) the government didn't censor the news of the disease, but went ahead with the election and didn't postpone it, taking a few measures, most half-baked, to prevent the spread of the disease. I don't think they had the foggiest idea of how deep they were in trouble, considering the number of law makers that came down with the disease, most having contracted them during the campaigning. The western media is just so blatantly trying to push opinion as news nowadays that it has become practically painful to read; and not just about Iran.

No internet filtering other than the usual. There has been massive western media misinformation and schadenfreude over what's going on in Iran. Until a couple of days ago, the narrative was that Iran had the highest mortality rate outside of China and they blamed the government for it. But now that Italy has surpassed it both in numbers and per capita rate, same naked propaganda is being published without citing the numbers anymore. I understand if the government there tries to get a hold of the narrative to be able to prevent panic and manage the already grave situation. It has a trust deficit that just cannot replenish on short notice.
