It’s incredible how useless and frustrating “business” tech is these days.
8 cores at 3.9Ghz, 32Gb of ram, 1Tb SSD, and i can’t even scroll a webpage or a PDF without lagging.
I can’t search a MSTeams conversation without it giving me results from local files.
Sorting by date is not an option.

I just attempted to watch the Gentleman's Wimbledon Final replay on the Disney+/ESPN-shittified app.
What an absolute dumpster fire of unneeded ESPN overlays, interviews during play, pointless stats boards during play, appalling video quality. Lasted five minutes.

I will always prioritize pedestrian safety over a few parking spots! @cmjuliewon.bsky.social introduced legislation to bring universal daylighting to NYC and I couldn’t agree more! Daylighting makes pedestrians safer by increasing visibility at intersections.

Happy Tuesday, folks! I’m spending my evening at a city council meeting in the Bay Area suburb of Menlo Park (average home value $2,600,000), home of Facebook, where a battle is brewing over an item to convert 3 downtown parking lots (gasp!) into affordable housing.
