Being a leader requires more than just having the skills and abilities to be a leader, it requires that people believe in you. If you lose the confidence of those you lead, it doesn't matter how good you are, you cannot continue to lead.

We moved to all Mac Studios to run Avid Media Composer, the Adobe suite, and ProTools. Maxed out specs. Work flawlessly so far. Media Composer is still running through Rosetta, not native on the M series chips. Avid, as always, is way behind on this.

Usually when swarming, they are not aggressive. They have nothing to defend.

I'm playing Pax Dei, an MMO in beta. It has elaborate crafting of buildings in the world. An innovative group made an actual sundial that keeps time within the game.

And the counterintelligence work done as well to ferret out moles/spies was mind boggling. Most enjoyable was hashing out agreements in Reykjavik bars in the wee hours.

Great write-up. It's hard to overstate how huge the transition from rtmp servers to systems that used HTTP get instead. Combined with advanced CDN techniques it made today's streaming world possible. I remember being briefed on Move Networks first work in this area and seeing it implemented.

In other exciting news, I upgraded the RAM in the home QNAP NAS. Had to fully disassemble the box to do it and was worried about the RAID array coming back up clean, but it did. The amount of dust bunnies inside was scary.

After installing a new video card in my PC that required a new 12VHPWR type of power cable, I have now fallen down the hole of RGB PSU cabling. Pray for my soul.

It cooks fine in the sauce. No need to boil first.

Beekeeper here. I get that the smell of alarm pheromone smells like banana to me. But I haven't seen it as an issue. I've even fed banana to the bees with no issues. IMHO, it's a non-issue. YMMV.

Does "water started coming out of an attach fitting" mean that water was filling up inside the EVA suit?

Day one of the Open Sauce conf was amazing and overwhelming. So many things to see. Everything from personal hobbies companies here. Sessions are mainly panels, which isn’t great if you don’t know who people are. Lots of ideas for new things to try.

The tech is a little better, but the government took the great VHF frequencies away to sell off and decided to do ATSC 1.0 on the less desirable UHF frequencies.

It’s super interesting tech and capable of many things, but a hard sell compared to the speed of change off apps+internet. Broadcast TV signals are important, but with the media landscape in chaotic upheaval, there are no simple paths for innovation.

When HD arrived, people could walk into Costco and see a standard def TV next to HD TV and the difference was striking. People were willing to spend to get the upgrade. Hard for consumers to see value in ATSC 3.0 making them want to replace their existing TV. They've streamed 4K for 10+ years.

As a lifelong television engineer, this is embarrassing.
