    You should try it out. Once you've got your filters sorted, it's brilliant -- but don't ask me how to do that, because I've already forgotten how I did finally it.

    No way. I already feel I am part of the video with my daughter using the whole house as her studio.

      During this work from home I came to appreciate some software and apps which I used and some which I hated even though I don't use Like: 1. Skype for business for surprisingly effective for the group meeting. 2. Cisco phone soft panel worked like a charm and did not had to worry about mixing personal and business calls 3. VNC was a blessing in disguise as Plan B when Remote login to lab machines failed or just slowed. Hate app even though did not use it. :mad::mad:TIKTOK:mad::mad:

        My top three favorite apps have to be Borderlands 3, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, yes, a classic! They're really my go-to anti-productivity tools at the moment :D

        I've got Sid Meier's Civilization III, IV and V on Steam for my anti-productivity tools, along with Tabletop Simulator for group anti-productivity events. I'm also finding that Overdrive along with Kindle Cloud Reader is a fine anti-productivity tool, as it allows me to check out e-books through our local public library. Stuart Woods, Randy Wayne White, C.J. Box and Janet Evanovich are my current favorites for that.

            Racism and politics have no place in the CP Lounge. And 99% of the spying-on that's going on is by US corporations.

              Count me in for GTA Online, though it has nothing to do with the current situation. I was an avid gamer, quit cold turkey over a decade ago, but have always made an exception for the GTA series. I've ignored the Online part of GTA5 for years as I figured it, like most online games, was all about 12-year olds who have nothing better to do than play all day and you stand no chance against them and getting owned all the time. But I tried it out last year, and there's ways around that, and I now have a good team and to this day I'm still stretching the $60 or so I paid for the game years ago.

                That's true and my post was neither. Stating facts is stating facts. Just because you don't like the facts doesn't make it racist or political.

                  TikTok has nothing to do with the Chinese government (which, incidentally, is far to busy managing a country of 1.4 milliard people to spy on you).  If you think you can prove otherwise, do it elsewhere. Your FUD, racism, and political slurs are unwelcome. And remember, every time you insult the Chinese, you insult my wife. I would question the wisdom in doing that.

                    You have those far too connected. It is a fact that China is in an expansionist state, even though your wife may not be. China is also far more racist than America is (although I won't say than we were!).: [Proof that the Chinese government is Lying! - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsnHUrpD\_\_E)

                          I said nothing about the Chinese people, let alone your wife, but rather about the gov't of China. As for proof that the gov't of China is spying go do your own research because any proof I could bring to bear you will just discount due to your bias. You bringing your wife into this argument just proves your unmitigated bias. I know nothing about your wife and she has nothing to do with this so leave her out of it. Stating facts is not insulting nor are they "slurs". Good Night, man! Get off your low-horse.
