The company says - and I'm not making this up - "Hi, My Name Is Panopto".
Hi, My Name Is Panopto - Panopto
September 6, 2018
Panopto /pə-näp’-tō/
Ask anyone who’s founded a business – if you’re going to hang out your shingle, it helps to have a name to put on it. So — why “Panopto”?
Panopto derives from panoptic, “the point at which everything can be seen in one view.” Panoptic in turn comes directly from the Greek word panoptos, “seen by all”.
In video, the panoptic view is the one that allows the viewer to see everything at once.
I'd love to know the actual politics of the founders not what they say to the press. If they didn't already know - a simple google would have told them how dystopic the word. But they named their company that anyway. Learning about them is way too much bother. None them have Wikipedia pages.
I watched Brazil (1985) a few days ago. Now I'm sort of disappointed an evil character didn't say "We watched you on the Panopto..."
Yeah but 1984 is when China does literally anything that helps it's people.
the what camera??
becoming ceo of amazon and renaming the doorbell product line to Fuck You, I Can See You When You're Sleeping
Bezos has unofficially leaked that he likes the cut of your jib. He needs just the right guy for Amazon's mostly top secret military DeathMachines division. It could be a huge sideways promotion for you. Space is the final frontier and Bezos wants to become a trillionaire before he dies.
Just waiting for the subscription-based, anal print toilet to dominate restrooms.
in evil communist north korea all classes are recorded in order to comply with the government's demands
Who could have dreamed these Spy™️brand cameras would be spying on us?The university where I did my masters had panopto installed because some people couldn't attend class in person in late 2020. It was always a mess and kind of unsettling to have the camera in the middle of the classroom.
Grainy footage which makes it impossible to make out the chicken scratch on the board, terrible microphone which somehow will pick up the people across the class coughing but never the professor
A "good" times
And God forbid a student who was watching from home had a question, it was impossible to hear them, or if a student in the classroom had a question they would have to walk up to the whiteboard and speak into a microphone so that the recording would pick it up.
Thank goodness nobody in my class had social anxiety or public speaking issues /s
