dll2000 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Anyone want to try to do a group Bears chat on Zoom tonight? Note this would be my first time using Zoom so bear with any technical difficulties. Disclosure: I may record the convo and later put it on YouTube or somewhere. I may not. It may not work. But if you are shy or private and don't want your face or voice posted online then don't join Topic will be broad. Current state of Bears Offense - Position group by position group and then time permitting what our needs are in draft/free agency. Zoom has a 40 minute limit unless you pay so it won't go longer than that. I am thinking 8ish central time? PM me your emails if interested.

dll2000 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 If you are going to join you need to download zoom app ahead of time. I will probably just post invite here around 7:55. Respond here if you plan on coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) It sounds like no one wants to so I will cancel. This weekend perhaps? Edited April 2, 2020 by dll2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could get a Madden league going? I know we got some old farts in here, so maybe that won't go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech is better now and easier. Thought we could round table some Bears topics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DABEARSLCF04 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Im so out of the loop. Between all this new social media crap(deleted facebook when the toilet paper crap started) and this tiger king? or what ever.... im just glad my life is exactly the same as before. Iv pretty much self isolated the last 10 years. Worlds gotta eat so my job don't stop.... and no im not a fast food worker. Just a farmer that hates people but loves Da Bears.

I just play Minecraft with my kids and Clash Royale now. My gamer days are really on the wane. But I have played basically every system going back to Commodore 64 and forward.

I just don’t like talking by myself. I am better riffing with someone. I was hoping we could get it going to almost a regular thing and we could hit various topics and I could post recordings here. And even include some division rivals on different days to discuss their teams etc. Actually easier for me to get Packers fans to talk than Bears fans.

JAF-N72EX Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I would do it but between the wife being sick(not covid) and work, my hours are too sporadic right now. Already not getting any sleep. Btw, word of advice, stay away from Zoom. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/y3m9dj/zooms-explosion-in-popularity-revealed-a-host-of-privacy-issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly the problems are folks trolling public meets and posting porn and other ‘pranks’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly the problems are folks trolling public meets and posting porn and other ‘pranks’. It's more than that. White hackers have found some serious security flaws in their software, including those surrounded by webcams. The fact they would allow such a simple and quite obvious flaw to get by them so easily raises a big flag on what else they missed. Especially for a company who claimed it supported end-to-end encryption. And some of these issues are gonna take time...they can't just be fixed with a simple overnight hotfix either. I'm just saying, I personally wouldn't trust it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinz D. Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Zoom is having big problems due to the increased workload it's got upon it. Anybody have any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I would enjoy it, but will be hanging with the family, I'm sure it will be fun and wish you all luck Google Hangouts has been good for us. Prop up a laptop or phone and catch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
