The streamer wasn’t “using a megaphone” - these losers weren’t yelling back at a guy on the street , they were *going out of their way" looking for people playing the game so they could join and bitch about the existence of black people.

I’m on the AV side of things and am currently dealing with their cameras not working with the 3rd party extenders that HP recommended. And why do they need these extenders at all? Because they’re USB in 2025 and Poly refuses to make their own.

We have 20 different installs going on with the exact same setup and HP is just like “huh that’s weird!”

Bonus rant: before HP bought them, Poly had normal SKUs. Like you knew what the product was based on the SKU. You knew if it was hardware or a service line. Now, the Poly E70 (shit camera btw) for example has the SKU “67J25AA#ABA.” The E60 is "9W1A6AA#AC3.

I asked our rep directly what the fuck was going on with this garbage and he told me HP stuck all the products on a spreadsheet and basically assigned the SKUs randomly. There is no rhyme or reason.

Hate to say it but he’s right to be mad because that is not an accurate portrait of him at all. It’s not just unflattering, it hardly looks like him

As a big fan of your posts, I have 2 1/2 questions

1: Do you do commissions?

2: Am I remembering correctly that you’re in the EU?

2.5: If so, would you be willing to uhhh like sell me the a digital file of one of your existing pieces so I can order it on a Displate or something? I’m moving my home office and want some cool art not tied to corporate IP

I work with HP (Poly) on a daily basis and I will never own one of their products. They’re a pain to work with and their products are outclassed by less expensive options.

Fuck HP. Trash company.

I don’t want kids of my own but being an uncle definitely rocks

It was a house and depending on the location, yes it would have. The land is often the most expensive part of buying a house

Thought it might be with the two entrances. I’m kind of surprised this unit is so bad without making the whole building condemnable

Is it for the whole building? Where’s it located?

105k might be a steal for the land alone

Son of a Fuck

I have a friend who got VERY fit mainly with Beat Saber.

I have another friend who did the same with Supernatural (the game, not the show)

Weirdly, they’re the only two people I know who got in shape with VR…and they have the same first name.

Are women who fit into the clothes you describe not women?

this thing

My nephew has one and I kind of love getting random “have you seen cheetozard” messages from him.

Gaming websites are soooo bad about that. It should be a rule for all gaming news communities that the title must include the game name.

I’d like to read about cool upcoming games but I will never click a headline like this.

Yes. And that’s true in the case I’m describing as well. I feel like you’re being deliberately obtuse.

Not the answer to your question but thanks for the reminder to cancel

Yes. And I’m not sure why you think it’s insane when that’s how it is basically everywhere in the world they’re built lol

“Need” is irrelevant when they already exist and aren’t going away any time soon.

But as for why it was built: it’s a busy business town. Residential is all in the south (away from the highway and major roads) and the north is almost entirely offices, hotels, restaurants, and a giant mall.

It’s my second least favorite suburb but I don’t have much of a choice but to work here unless I completely change careers. The only viable competitor is in the same town.

That’s fair but it’s still significantly less doable outside of the city in the US. Most of our towns sprawl, they’re built for cars. Residential is far from the office parks and those office parks are surrounded by 4-6 lane roads with no bike lanes. I feel lucky to have found a place with a bikeable a grocery store.

It’s bad and I hate it but that’s reality for most people.
