Your new Netflix Amazon Microsoft Telescreen has arrived.

Please ensure you stay in full view during the replacement process and comply with the required spatial analysis test before decommissioning your previous device.

Have a nice day.

Kind regards, The Ministry of Entertainment.

Be the change you want to see.

And to answer your question, about as long as it takes to have 2 or 3 of people like them as your boss/lead.

Anything that can do better than 1080p is insanely expensive or cheap and flakey. I gave up looking and just got a new monitor with a KVM built in.

Most have one USB-C with 65w+ PD which includes the keyboard and mouse and then add 1-3 more slots that have HDMI and/or DisplatPort + USB-A for the keyboard and mouse.

Keen to know what you've tried. Or if anyone has found something good that isn't silly expensive or cheap and dodgy.

Some cars won't start unless the clutch is pushed in. Some will. If you are in gear, it will push the car forward.

The most complete and safest way for all cars is.

Foot on brake. Clutch in. Put in neutral. Start car.

That should work and be safe in all manual cars. It is likely the "correct" way for a driving test.

Once you get to know a car, you might just use the brake and clutch and leave it in gear when starting the car.

"Great new taste"

Or

"New and improved"

Oh yeah. I totally agree that the source has its own objective. I wasn't supporting their specific approach at all.

You are right that the key take away is somene saying "I think my own idea, which I happen to be selling a book about, is great, here are some stats that I have crafted to support my own agenda"

The point I was making was simply that people who care enough to try something, anything, with thought (like looking for a new methodology to try out) are likely to be more successful.

Like a diet. The specific one doesn't matter so much. It's the fact that you are actually paying attention and making a specific effort.

It almost sounds like a project team that is actually and actively looking to solve known and recurring problems instead of "just do whatever everyone else is kind of doing" might be why they are successful.

It's the difference between "how should we go about this" vs "see how we go" regardless of what you label those approaches as.

It really is a great movie. I found this timeline a while back that helps you make sense of it all...
