I have a 9:30 AM Facetime appointment with my doctor. I'll have to clean up the area behind me.

We're all Hollywood now - and we better get used to it. I guess he came up from the basement and simply felt good near his sunny porch without looking to see what was being photographed. I've been on Skype waving to relatives - then checked the picture and noticed I was sideways. Or that fisheye effect.
Why would someone with television experience choose such a backlit location?
Now that you mention it, who installs utility panels next to a gorgeous patio window?
No wonder this guy takes advice from a shitposting twitter feed.
For the New York Times Chief National Correspondent appearing on MSNBC, the background should have been a stable, with a shovel sticking up from a mound of manure. That would have been truth in advertising!
I move around all day when I'm on calls - since I don't have an office chair (sniff, sniff, Aeron I'll always love you BEST!) I find I have to change location/position a lot.
I'm not sure anyone cares. I just make sure there isn't absolute disaster, clutter, a bed, or laundry in the background.

My reaction to such ignorant criticism as this would be, "Who the fuck is 'Room Rater'?, and why should we care what this busy body thinks?" Some people seem to desire to be bossed around by self designated authoritarians.
I don't know. Got a new furnace and AC, kept cool cheap and steady all summer. I can read the digital display on the thermostat from across the room and it's a beautiful thing. You will have to pry it out of my comfortable room temperature hands.

What?! Did he really change the way he filmed himself to try to improve his room rater scores? Wow, talk about narcissistic insecurity!
I plan to use a smiling photo of myself in all Zoom meetings. If meeting attendees want to see me in motion, they can pay me for it.
Has this Room Rater stuff been connected to race and class privilege?
After all, it does seem as much about status and affluence as aesthetics.
He should tape a copy of Dogs Playing Poker on velvet over the light switches/temp control; now that's Art.
12-year-old suspended over toy gun seen in virtual class
"A 12-year-old boy has been suspended for having a toy gun he never brought to school.
Isaiah Elliott attends Grand Mountain, a K-8 grade school in the Widefield District #3, just south of Colorado Springs.
On Thursday, Aug. 27, the seventh grader was attending on online art class when a teacher saw Isaiah flash a toy gun across his computer screen. The toy in question is a neon green and black handgun with an orange tip with the words “Zombie Hunter” printed on the side.
The teacher notified the school principal who suspended Isaiah for five days and called the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office to conduct a welfare check on the boy without calling his parents first."

""A 12-year-old boy has been suspended for having a toy gun he never brought to school."
This has zero to do with school safety. There have also been reports of kids suspended for pointing fingers and saying "bang", or drawing a gun.
This is indoctrination. Guns are BAD. Thinking about guns is BAD. People who like guns are BAD. If your parents own guns they are BAD.
The public education system has some scary components.
Someone told me that you can buy a green screen to set up behind you and Zoom has a feature that will let you choose an outdoor scene to project behind you. If not true then it’s a pretty obvious enhancement. Being retired, I don’t have to attend meetings anymore so I don’t even have Zoom loaded on my machine.
Another enhancement might be to have elk and bears poke their heads out of the underbrush to add interest. Maybe a Sasquatch, too.

Jokes about school shootings aren't funny. A friend's son died in a school shooting, and I even remember his last words -
"You'll never take me alive, pigs!"

You were making progress: monotonic unqualified change. The concept is similar to evolution... Show me the fitness function! Most people are ducks, but there are also dodo dynasties.
Light switches, who the hell thought they could improve the light switch? It’s either on or it’s off. If it’s on a light goes on, if it’s off your in the dark. Couldn’t be simpler. Spent last week in a cabin with smart switches. Don’t even look like a light switch. Could set every light in the place to come on every Tuesday at 3 AM, flash, fizzle or strobe, if you wanted light now, good luck.
Supplies needed:
..two solid green single use table covers, from party section of favorite Dollar Store;
..one eight foot 1x2;
..two lengths light chain, abt three ft each;
..four small open eye screw hooks
..selection of digital images (Grand Canyon, Versailles palace, White House, etc)
And a room with a blank wall and nice, even lighting. No harsh overhead light to counter the backlighting from French Doors - gives ya dark shadows in eye sockets and under chin.
@Mr. Forward, dimmer switches are nice, too.
If he had moved his PC or camera to the right just a tad, this would not have been a problem.
Why make so much commotion over a silly light switch or thermostat?
