• User-facing/client-side tools for internet troubleshooting

  Hi everyone. The other day a client of mine's employees started having issues with the "internet not working".

• Twilio Video Going Down !!

  It was used to build video calling applications on the web without having to deal with the intricacies of webrtc and so forth. There is a really nice open source alternative, Jitsi and quite a few paid solutions like the Zoom SDK, Whereby, Dyte, etc. Source: 5 months ago

• How Zoom’s terms of service and practices apply to AI features

  It's definitely a challenge, but another good thing about HN is people link alternatives in threads like this. I'm already checking out Jitsi (mentioned up thread) and it looks awesome. It's even open source: https://jitsi.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
