I can't begin to fathom how bad it will be for Paramount to own WB. Say goodbye to all the HBO honest documentaries, not to mention @lastweektonight1.bsky.social The level of censorship expected will decimate free speech.
BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not โmove onโ from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors
Watching companies that gutted loyal teams now brag about โexciting new rolesโ feels surreal.
I just wrote a LinkedIn post on the coming wave of toxic, distrust-filled workplaces โ and why building a 20-year career at a layoff-happy firm makes no sense. www.linkedin.com/posts/davidd...
A beloved audio brand just launched its first video bar โ and that says a lot about how easy it has become to โenterโ the video market. Platforms + ODMs + MDEP are quietly reshaping who counts as a video manufacturer.

Microsoft has blown the AI rollout without a steady, clear, understandable message and product and pricing. I use Copilot as the analogy for changes in my blogs.
Copilot changes more than a baby changes diapers.
As I've said before, they need an intervention on this.
I used to be a big fan of the Dilbert comic strip. When I found out the author was a racist & idiot I stopped following it. I hear he died yesterday. RIP, but he died in my eyes many years ago.
When something/someone I admire turns out to be an idiot, I have the critical thinking to change my mind.
I was very proud to see so many AV and enterprise professionals at CES this year. It's well past urgent for the AV community to embrace an understanding of where tech's future is headed & not stay stuck in the past. 50 people could attend/see & learn 200 different things/experiences. #AVInTheAM
United sends their elite passengers at Newark to a bag check shortcut that they donโt open, and they have one person doing a line of about 200 people. Way to go #United!
One of the problems is we've been teaching our kids the wrong lessons. Here's a better story for Rudolph. Happy Holidays!
Merici Canada! And to CBS: Argo _ _ _ _ yourself!
To read the story on the politically corrupt 60 minutes story, I'd need to follow your gift link to the politically corrupt WaPo.
No thanks.
Maybe in the future let people know a change like this is coming so they don't think they've reached a spoofed website looking for their PII.....
New TalkingPointz Test Bench video is up, focused on Center of Table cameras..
I unbox the AudioCodes RXVcam360 and show its features, alongside a new white paper that explores the history and evolution of #COT cameras. This category isnโt as new as people think. www.linkedin.com/posts/davidd...
Happy Thanksgiving to our friends and partners, and to all who celebrate, from all of us at TalkingPointz. Wishing everyone meaningful moments with the people who matter.
The U.S. DOT wants us to โdress upโ for flights again, as if a necktie is going to fix air travelโsโฆ everything.
So I wrote a sarcastic reminder of what the real golden age looked like.
If youโve ever rolled your eyes at modern flying, enjoy this trip back in time. danto.info/Golden_Age-J...

My travel blog this week unfortunately has to dive into politics - which I hate doing - but what we have here is a crisis:

Amazon just sent Perplexity AI a cease-and-desist for scraping data. The company that built an empire on automation now fears being disrupted by it. The elephants are fighting in the schoolyardโand stomping on jobs, stores, and the future of humanity along the way.

We all wanted the beautiful future that Star Trek promised us, but instead of that, the stupid people who voted against their own best interests have brought us Star Wars and its evil empire.
We always knew the emperor's nature was evil. It's those who voted for him that we will never forgive.
Still holding meetings in mountains and canyons? Twenty years on, creative conference-room names keep confusing people. If your guests need a Sherpa to find โParis,โ your office design isnโt clever, itโs broken. Read about it in my latest LinkedIn blog.

I've been saying for a long time: the C-Suite needs to feel pain from layoffs when a profitable company lets people go just to improve share price. Many possibilities: Fund laid-off healthcare for 5 yrs/require C-suite to depart/Reduce CEO comp 10% for every 100/etc - Something to make it less easy
When Did โSmartโ Start Meaning โHeld Hostageโ?
Remember when you could just own things? Youโd buy something and it'd keep working until worn out. Now it's a software update away from a brick.
We used to call it ransomware with hackers. Now we call it โthe cloud.โ

Nowadays the major collaboration platforms seem to be shouting far more about Agentic AI than engaging in efforts to simply make calls work well. It's long past time to fix this, by regulation if necessary.

The AV story is shifting - and Q-SYS is leading the charge.
At their latest Activate event, Q-SYS didnโt just drop a few new gadgets. They showed how every announcement tightens the focus on what โfull-stackโ really means.
