Tell HN: Otter.ai bot recording meetings without consent
I occasionally use Otter.ai to transcribe when I'm multitasking. Recently they made an update, which I carefully opted out of, to automatically join every meeting through my Google Calendar and transcribe it. Screenshots prove I had the feature disabled.<p>The bot proceeded to join two confidential meetings on my behalf and record the whole thing, then email every member an absurd, inaccurate "outline" after.<p>I am not much of a privacy person but I feel completely abused in this situation. I have opened a support ticket with screenshots but there is no response, and according to Twitter they are essentially not reviewing tickets from free users at the moment.<p>So just a heads-up to the HN community!<p>Are there other, more privacy oriented transcription services anyone can recommend?
Show HN: Quake 1 ported to the Apple Watch
I ported Quake 1 to the Apple Watch, building on top of existing ports for iOS and Mac.<p>Some features:
* uses Quake SW renderer + blitting to WatchKit surface (~60 fps, 640x480, larger res can run on lower framerate, tested up until 1024x768)
* touch + gyro + digital crown controls
* new AVFoundation audio backend (quake to Watchkit audio buffer copy logic), as Watchkit does not support CoreAudio
* high pass audio filter to remove clicking on Watch speaker for some of the low frequency quake .wav samples
* some smaller modifications and code updates to glue Quake 1 c code to Objective C and Watchkit<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPC2o262TfQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPC2o262TfQ</a>
