dang, that's good to hear! you running a Mac? what streaming software are you using?

Yeah primarily on my 2019 13" Macbook Pro using Zoom, Webex, and on24. I don't bother with OBS because if I'm just pushing out a stream I do it with a dedicated encoder out of the HDMI port on the Mini.

Yep, don't trust the ATEM mini webcam output just yet, so I'm taking the HDMI output from the switcher and running it through the U-TAP into the computer.

fwiw I've put my ATEM Mini webcam output through over 100 hours of use at this point, it's solid!

And we're about to have to integrate login into browsers to make anti-tracking efforts like ITP actually work. I don't know exactly what that'll look like (or what URL to point you to yet...) but please keep your eyes open and help make sure we don't screw it up.

I'll definitely keep my eye out for this! It'd be great if you could post something to the OAuth or OIDC mailing lists when you have a proposal too. https://oauth.net/about/community/

That creates a chicken-and-egg problem: browsers won't adopt it unless it's popular. It won't be popular unless browsers adopt it.

Chicken-and-egg problems create usually-insurmountable barriers to adoption.

That hasn't been true for years. Browser vendors are pushing new features that they want or think will be helpful. Here are some examples: https://github.com/WebKit/explainers

See also all the Twitter threads of people getting angry that Chrome implements something before it's standardized.

If login were automated like credit card forms, it would fail about 50% of the time and need me to enter a page full of unnecessary personal information by hand. That’s not a good model.

Why not let me enter an email address instead? That has a domain in it.

Why is entering an email address less work than entering a URL? What I'm saying is browsers could have an "account chooser" UI to save a URL and enter it in the login field.

Neat! Seems to still have the URL pasting problem though. How is that UX different from openid, which users didn’t like?

That problem can only be solved by browsers.

Right now, most of the time the browser autocompletes my URL because I've entered it enough, so I'm not actually typing it out. With any amount of thought, browsers could automate that just like credit card payment forms.

Have you considered using IndieAuth (https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org) which does the same now?

I’ve implemented it on my personal site (https://github.com/shurcooL/home/issues/34) and I’m very happy with it. Especially during GitHub outages.

Here's some background on why this solves the particular problem you're talking about in this thread: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/07/7/oauth-for-the-open-web

First mistake was letting him reach you on iMessage. I have a canned response for these. On Facebook it’s an auto responder directing you to publicly post your question on the page. 75% can’t be bothered to copy/paste their question. Guess they didn’t really want an answer.

This is good advice. The iMessage/DMs/emails are already starting for me and I'd like to have a better solution for managing this. I guess the question is where to send people, creating my own forum/discord seems like overkill.

I'm more curious about the network connection. You can get 4K video from a webcam nowadays, it's getting it to it's destination without delays or degradation that's usually the problem.

a webcam, even a 4K one, is never going to look as good as a camera with a real lens

The height of a pandemic really is the time for the monitor you use for work to start to play up 🙄 at least I've got the laptop screen

oh no. Mine started doing this thing where it goes black for a few seconds periodically. Not good.

No not for me, it’s a fine camera but I’m starting to get to the point where I prefer certain color sciences because they just work without much effort.

oh I was asking if you have one you're gonna sell!

Ok just made a pretty sizeable camera/lens purchase so it might be time to unload some other gear.

I’m going to take today to come up with what I’m selling so be prepared for a fire sale in the next day or two.

Dropping a BMPCC4K perhaps? The updated ATEM Mini software has me wanting one, but not at the full price!

Nice! And, speaking of, how booked are you in the near-to-medium term for training gigs? Interested in discussing a new one?

I'm usually pretty booked up 2-3 weeks out, but always happy to talk about lining something up!
