I think you're looking at the wrong Zoom! Zoom Video (NASDAQ: ZM) is based in Silicon Valley. The other Zoom is a company that used to make cheap modems and networking gear, and they are in China. It's funny, stock traders have been mixing up the ticker symbols, and those who want to invest in ZM accidentally invest in ZOOM. The latter is thinly traded and was a penny stock, but with this new interest, owners of ZOOM shares experienced a huge appreciation!
They are new and this pandemic basically accelerated their plans to scale, so these privacy concerns may be something real.
I am curious if Zoom is really secure, and if folks should be running business and govt' meetings on it. It IS HQ'd in China.
They admit it's not HIPAA compliant.
On topic, I have my Sound Devices MixPre6 set up on my Mac via USB and it's weird. When I wake the Mac from sleep, I have to take the SD out of USB AUDIO mode and set it briefly to USB POWER ONLY before switching it back in order to make the Mac see it as an audio device.
Then. I tried using the Y cable it came with, which enables it to run on full power from 2 USB-A plugs, but when it's left plugged in to the POWER one, it does not wake up at all from sleep.
I guess the Mixpre6 is ABLE to be used as a USB interface, but it's not designed for it.
