If Attics Could Talk: The Misplaced Objects of Displaced People

Like many remote workers, I had a big pain in the butt muting and unmuting myself. I bought and began using MuteMe for Google Meet, Zoom, etc. It is nice to have a physical mute button. I highly recommend it. amzn.to/3WoRCN5

MuteMe allows work to be uninterrupted and boosts your productivity by letting house-mates know you’re busy without having to say a single word.

It is common for people to use the word algorithm and not understand it. “The algorithm showed me X on Tik Tok”. An algorithm is a series of steps to solve a problem. It isn’t some autonomous intelligence. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm
