“conveniently for Disney, it has previously said that it will stop reporting streaming subscribers in its next quarterly earnings report. “

Tells you everything you need to know. If the numbers were good, they’d report them.

That’s what episodic tv used to do.

Depends on the production. Lots of actors in the olden days loved getting a series because it meant they were closer to home and had a consistent schedule. Very little location shooting out of state, giving them more time to spend with family. Summers off meant the ability to do movies or stage work if they wanted to.

Lucille Ball’s daughter has said in interviews that Desilu ran a tight schedule and everyone went home at a decent hour because Lucy wanted everyone to go home at a decent hour (including her).

Unions need to flex their muscle if cast or crew is having to work excessive overtime.

Unpopular opinion: Leo DiCaprio is not a good actor.

I blame management that doesn’t listen to or hire qualified IT people. The average office worker has no say in what platforms or tools are used at a business.

Subscriptions. More cloud-based services. Office moving to an entirely web-based product. Continuing decline of whatever quality is left. Nadella is only interested in enterprise money like HP and IBM. Expect to see more abandonment of consumer-focused products, like Xbox.

If he had any balls, he’d split the company up, rather than letting so many products die on the vine.

Paying off for fintech/cryptobros . Not the entirety of Silicon Valley. Ask tech companies how the tariffs and H1-B visas are going.

“And Tyler Perry as Colin Powell” 😆

It started going wrong with Nixon. The same people who worked for Nixon worked for W, gave us Fox News, and Trump.

I got to thinking today about how my TiVo HD from 2006 still works fine. Strange how a company going out of business can still support decades old hardware, but a gazillionaire conglomerate like Google just “doesn’t have the resources”.

Twiki, are you ok?

Boring is what we wanted. Liquid Glass is what we got.

Actually amazed it isn’t running windows.

What is this action really all about? I doubt it has anything to actually do with “war on drugs”.

It will be interesting to see if these “donations” actually happened, and if they were actually intended for this project. While it is entirely possible, “White House says” doesn’t really carry the ring of truth it once did. I’m hoping at least one of the corporations on this list comes out with a statement about it, but so far they have been suspiciously silent.

If they are still in business by then.

Isn’t this how Skynet started?

I’m betting they settle out of court.
