Interesting reading for the weekend:

As for myself, it’s approaching midnight and I’ve been asleep, doped up on cold medicine for most of the day into evening. I’m feeling quite a bit better due to that, but Angela is still keeping me on the meds for tonight (good wife that she is), so I may not be capable of rational thought again here shortly.

If it’s on a screen, there is always a way to capture it. So maybe in online meetings, act accordingly? “Even with these restrictions, you can’t stop a participant from using their phone to record the session or using a separate software application to record.” This issue reminds me of a time some years back…
