@joeovies.bsky.social You’re welcome for the OG on Business topic. 🤣

In a follow-up, OmahaSteajs is going to replace the thawed items. Much appreciated & glad to see companies stand behind their products.

Ordered from @OmahaSteaks, quality is great, shipping is not. Used to ship in foam cooler, now in insulated cardboard. Products were partially thawed. Must be woke courage to save a tree. Not good when burgers & chicken are thawed on delivery. I’ll need to call on this.

Very disappointed. The ParamountPlus app on Roku must’ve updated. Now the Roku screen reader doesn’t read within the app. We watch more on Paramount than other networks. Accessibility broken.

@joeovies.bsky.social Too soon? #CashBandit

Started using Alexa Plus on our devices. I didn’t think the tube lady could get dumber but she did. Still ahead of Siri. Wow! Jokes were bad & now they aren’t really jokes.

@bdsams.com @thurrott.bsky.social Do you think ESPN charging $30 per month moved the bar for subscriptions like XBOX?

True. Just saying, the spot needed a little more meat to provide context for those that only consume the sports bubble. Too many bubbles these days! I’m staying in sorority row, safer.

The latest #OGOnBusiness sample missed the mark when talking Kimmel’s return. @joeovies.bsky.social, you might check out We’re Not Wrong. Biden also trampled on free speech. Political nerds say Kimmel was suspended for more than Kirk failed joke. Enjoy!

I’ll give it a try soon. Old coding should be easy. Copilot is the Siri or Alexa of LLMs. I bet Temu is better. 🤣

Tried coding some COBOL & DB2 with Microsoft Copilot. What a joke! I never got close to a useful query. Work wants us to use it, but so far I am struggling. Other options are so far superior.

Spent an hour using Copilot for COBOL/DB2 queries. I never got a useful SQL. Couldntvdetermine key between tables. ChatGPT needs very little help. My job is safe. Do people really pay $30/mo for this? @bdsams.com @thurrott.bsky.social

Good Morning America says that #ChapelBill was brought in to return UNC Football to “Its glory days”, I feel like it is a glory day, maybe 2.

Amazon Alexa is sexist. If my wife calls out, no response. If she deepens her voice, then Alexa responds. I can do the same and get ignored. Stupid tubevlady.

#HeyJpe NC State has cursive Raleigh uniforms? I thought uniforms were for the youths, but the youths can’t read or write cursive. Must be a brain teaser like an analog clock. It is for the old folks. @joeovies.bsky.social

Rodney Edgar @rodneyedgar.bsky.social · Jul 14

I get it. I’m too old for tracking things down on YouTube. With CBT (COVID, Biden, Trump), funds go elsewhere. I’ll check it out, but it seems less focus on the ACC & the Triangle. I’ll check the YT out to see changes. Good luck!

Rodney Edgar @rodneyedgar.bsky.social · Jul 14

Too bad. No RSS will leave me out. ACC content is hard to find. I guess the trash Locked On puts out is the new rotation.

Another podcast bites it. I’ve followed podcasting since 2k5 & hosted for 6+ years. I had hope but the OG model felt doomed in approach. When major pods are down sizing & cutting expenses, they were doing merch & building a studio. Now they go to YouTube only. “Curse or don’t” was my creation. #RIP

I totally missed the idea of DOGE rewriting the SSA COBOL system in 6 months. I’m a COBOL coder & that sounds like a disaster. The quality of new tech projects always disappoint me as they are rushed and always flawed.

As I work more & more with Agile Project Management prociples, I’m finding that it is just an excuse for PMs to ignore items, fail to read documents, & simply overlook key stakeholders. Big Bang installs are all they do!

#HeyJoe what does it say about the ACC when the ACC Network doesn’t carry tonight’s Stanford-Louisville game? I have to watch on Fubo? No thanks. Conference is doomed! @joeovies.bsky.social #GoHeels

@joeovies.bsky.social So how do you click a static hat vault link? Not clickable in Downcast.

What image creator should I be using other than ChatGPT? I get such random responses with weird fonts, strange words, or misspellings, and just randomness. I could get better out of a human.

I usually listen to @postwrestling.com podcasts but the pay wall format change is breaking my golden rule. @johnpollock.bsky.social @wai0937.bsky.social refer to pay wall comments during show reviews. Here is hoping it gets better.

I’m trying to update the security on someone’s Google account. I can’t add a new recovery phone b/c the previous number was a landline! I’m stuck in a loop. No other verification method. 😡
