Ah the #Rolex24, the annual time where my Roku asks me if I want to have it turn off Peacock, which has been on for five hours straight.

Listen, y'all probably benefit from running into others and shooting the shit. But for me doing the actual work in the trenches, I have my marching orders and just need to get shit done.

You can insert just about any directive here, when talking about the disconnect between the employees that do the work and the C suite
The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Holiday day off of work tomorrow. So of course we're going to get like a foot of snow and the kids won't have school. 🤣

I'm dumb and often forget which symbol on power switch toggles like this means 'on' and which means 'off'. As such, today I realized that I've been using my battery-powered snowblower in eco mode for the past two years. 🤦♂️

Huh, LMP3 racing isn't actually that bad to watch when they're actually on track with similarly-matched cars, instead of getting in the way of top class cars. 🤣

I know there are multiple media sources for this type of thing, but it feels incredibly skeezy to paywall an article about upcoming bad, potentially dangerous weather.
A combination of fluffy snow, strong wind gusts and dangerous cold should make at least one-third of lower Michigan extremely dangerous for travel. The rest of lower Michigan could also be extremely dangerous. Here's a look at what to expect.

Connected device to the charger this morning, nothing. Fired it up to jot some stuff down from my calendar/mail. Battery fully depleted in 10 min.
Plugged it in and it's actually drawing a charge now. Gonna let it get to 100% before I unplug again and see what happens.

Ain't this a predicament. Late this afternoon realized my work laptop wasn't charging. Couple of power cycles didn't help.
Opened a ticket with IT, got it escalated. Haven't heard anything yet and shut things down with 10% life left. This won't last long when they do call to troubleshoot.
