@g_bonfiglio Yeah with a family of five it’s really quite painful

@photojoseph Or have an AI with a transcript screen the comments: “before posting, are you sure you watched 25:13?”

@steveeypips Feel you there 😀

@dvassallo It’s helpful to monitor, but sometimes in my WFH world there’s an unavoidable build from 500 to 1200ppm and I can’t always open the office door always with kids.

Not sure the solution: carbon scrubbers are for spaceships and fish tanks, some kind of retrofit air handler maybe?

@james_raftery @taeric Followed by Cyber Monday month 🤣

@_joemag_ My gas water heater is actually a circuit of my boiler. The boiler power is hard wired into a water temperature cutoff unit (because of city codes), tempted to rework it as a plug I can move.

@g_bonfiglio It’s not the switch itself, right? It’s the attention to cabling detail!

@JakeHendy @chrismunns I have two setups at my home: a wireless playtronics for when I want to walk around, and a high quality mic for when I'm stationary. Range on the headset takes me to half of the house including the kitchen and fron door.

Extra gear, but also some redundancy if anything acts up.

[Thomas Cantrell @thomas_cantrell]

@chrismunns Good choice! I use the non-USB SM7B mic which has a similar profile. They're really good at removing background noise.

Hopefully you have headphones, in-ears, or something like that you like so you're not on speaker. Don't want to ruin a great mic with echo cancelation!

@mikejulian Well and they didn’t specify the prompt….

@james_raftery Maybe more of a brand that a domain ;-)

@g_bonfiglio @FabioEight I was about to ask, where would Giorgio be giving advice to a management consultant. Homeowners association - makes sense!

@thewheatgerm That looks like a “go go go” moment on the timeline with Sam looking at his watch.

@abbyfuller At least they didn’t call it a STEM activity!

(STEM is good. But one daycare my oldest was at felt like they needed to have daily STEM activities for infants. A bit of a stretch.)

@g_bonfiglio @ComputerHistory Sad news, the Paul Allen estate sold off a bunch of it.

Bad news: some to highest bidder on auction
Good news: some to a museum in Georgia

@_joemag_ I know of love (and engineering time) went into this one. Congrats to you and the team(s)!

[Thomas Cantrell @thomas_cantrell]

@g_bonfiglio There’s an awful lot wherever this is:
