  • Our CEO made a big announcement about how we were going to move from a B2B (Business to Business) environment to a B2C (Business to Consumer) environment. B2C is the future, Internet of Things, yadda yadda.

    So, since we have an open door policy, I popped him an email and asked him what the plan was to invest in our infrastructure because, as it stood then, B2C was out of reach and the clients we had attempting it were finding it wasn’t robust enough, citing my example client list and recent failures.

    I got immediate heat. Nobody had told him our infrastructure couldn’t do it. “What are your sources? How do you know?” - Sources cited. CEO went to his yes men: “This guy knows what he’s talking about and seems really sure of what he’s saying…”

    Oh.

    10 years later, we’re on our 3rd CEO, our infrastructure still isn’t updated, and B2C still hasn’t happened.














  • It’s particularly bad on my Samsung sets, their HDR implementation is a known bug and there’s no way to disable it on the television itself, all you can do is disable it on connected devices.

    Then I find, everytime my Roku, Xbox, or Playstation gets an update, I have to disable it again. :(

    Still, better than watching a black scene in a coalmine. LOL.

    HDR on:

    HDR off:


  • This is something I was saying all along.

    When people tell you “I’m hurting!” the answer is NOT “What are you talking about, Jack? Things are GREAT!”

    They WANT Clinton’s lip bite and “I feel your pain!” It’s LITERALLY the economy stupid.

    Telling people 3% inflation is no big deal when it’s compounded on top of 3% on top of 9% is how you end a political career.

    The View gave Harris a lifeline when they asked her “What would you do different?” and she blew it with “not a thing that comes to mind.”

    Even if there was nothing she could have done differently, she could have said “We should have been more empathetic to critics of the administration, from Afghanistan, to inflation, to Gaza.”

    It wouldn’t have MEANT anything, but would have given the appearance of meaning something, a tactic Democrats usually excel at. ;)
