In the last 12 years of writing python, I have only hit had issues with .pyc files a handful of times, and always with python < 2.7. Anaecdotally this experience is shared with everyone I have worked with. If you’re seeing this regularl

I think you're mistaking "It just works" for "It just works in the way I want it to" Unfortunately if you go with the suggested methods for using zoom, it is very easy to join a meeting

The thing about rural areas, is that not many people live there. We live just ouside a mid-sized UK town (and cities down to small/mid sized towns covers a really high % of the population). Between public transport and good cycle&#x2
