Yup, that's why we still don't have any clocks to this day.

Oops, thanks, I was watching it on my phone and grabbed the wrong link from Duckduckgo. I've corrected the link to point to their video.

Note that it is back up - I'm watching it on their channel on my phone right now.

Now that I've gotten home and played with it a bit, unfortunately, remote/presentation mode isn't what she's looking for, because it doesn't work with her iPad Notes app the way she needs it to. It shows the entire iPad screen no matter what, instead of the portion she's using for drawing/notes.

It turns out that on the Mac and Windows versions of Zoom, there's an option in Advanced Settings that is specifically connecting an iPad through AirPlay. Unfortunately, as I've found out, this is a proprietary setting only allowed on the Mac and Windows versions, and specifically excluded from the Linux version. There's just a blank space where the option usually would be.

Luckily, the notes app function she needs does work when using UxPlay, so that's what we ultimately decided to go with, even though it's a bit clunkier and laggier than connecting directly through Zoom.

Thanks for the help!

The PC has multiple monitors, a full-sized keyboard, and support for many windows on the screen, which makes it much easier to get work done while on a call, while the iPad is very convenient for drawing diagrams, etc. when on a call, much more so than the built in whiteboard.

So, she hosts the call on her computer so that she can do all of the multitasking she needs to during the meeting, and she connects her iPad so that she can draw and comment on precise diagrams in a way that isn't really possible without the iPad.

From another comment it seems like she might just be missing the feature that's usually there, but I wanted to be prepared with alternatives when I got home this evening just in case so that she'd be ready for work tomorrow no matter what.

Edit: See the OP - this is not the case. This is a proprietary function that is only available in the Mac and Windows version of Zoom, so it's not present in the Linux version at all.

That looks like it should work. I can hopefully just mirror the iPad screen on UxPlay and then just capture that window in Zoom. Will try this evening and report back. Thanks!

Edit: This ended up being what we went with! Thanks again for the help! This community never ceases to amaze me with their willingness to help people get better with Linux! ^_^

This is the correct answer. There's even a slight plastic indentation to let the user know that both of the buttons in question are "start" buttons.

I think the design is fine.

I also thought Louis's choice of Clippy was a bit odd, but the fact that there is a symbol people can rally around at all is more important than the symbol itself in many ways.

Russia and China, on the other hand? Entirely straightforward and transparent in their reporting. No disinformation campaigns there, no sir.

B-but the tankies say that Russia and China are paradises for minorities! They wouldn't lie, right?

I think this, along with most of the comments in this thread, is oversimplistic and does Tolkien and his work a pretty serious disservice.

Tolkien was an academic, a student of myth. The reason his works are some of the best-selling books ever written, and that they still resonate with people so strongly seventy-five years later, is not because LOTR is a gritty take on the realities of trench warfare - it's because Tolkien understood, possibly better than anyone else ever has, feelings, experiences, and tropes that are timeless, ideas that are innate to the human experience.

Everyone saying "Tolkien based LOTR on his experiences in WWI" is entirely missing the fact that Tolkien was attempting to create a mythology. Mythical stories across the world throughout history, from the Bible to Germanic sagas, to Finnish myth, to Greek myth, to middle-eastern myths, feature similar tropes of "not acting until it's almost too late", and I honestly think it's insulting to ignore the fact that Tolkien was tapping into his vast understanding of myth to distill truths about the human experience that have nearly universal appeal, only to instead put him into a shallow box of "he wuz riting about Worl War I/II/nuclear bombs/whatevs lol".

Did those experiences factor into his Middle Earth writings? Of course they did, but it's still badly missing the point to claim that his works are allegorical as a result. That's why Tolkien always reacted so strongly when people accused him of allegory - it's, frankly, an insult, and a complete misunderstanding of the point of Tolkien's work in the first place.

No, that's an IED. You're thinking of efforts to ensure that marginalized people aren't discriminated against.
