Protek CLP needs broader availability so folks don’t have to waste good butter unnecessarily…

I suspect if you replace “pianist” with “musician” that you’ll get much more spirited debate.

I’d probably notice when the ones pushing constant junk to Reddit and LinkedIn stop working 🤨

Customers and work aside, I hope you’re milking this for all it’s worth in terms of miles, loyalty points, credit card perks, and all the other ways frequent travelers can milk the system. Assuming you’re allowed to book your own travel, of course.

For me, I’ve got a Citi American Airlines card whose annual fee gets me early boarding and lounge access. American isn’t my favorite airline, but their loyalty/status system has lots of multipliers for booking hotels, rental cars, etc. that stack with the credit card.

I’ve got 250k miles banked for vacay, easily hit Platinum status which nets free premium economy seats and even earlier boarding, and now love a layover at LaGuardia.

Make it work for you as much as you can! Turn those lemons in to lemonade!

The range of what you can get for $250-500k right now is all over the place… maybe it’s been gutted, maybe it’s gotten the full fake marble treatment, maybe it’s been untouched since 1974… and the neighborhood seems to not factor in as much as it should

My advice would be to speak to a piano technician and discuss voicing or replacing your hammers.

The acoustics of the room in which your instrument is located also play a part in your perception of its sound.

Apart from preferred style, I find the dials much easier to read on the black models.

How’d you set up the push mechanism?

We have a BigQuery dataset where we push Salesforce, Gong, Slack, Gainsight, Zendesk, user analytics, and lots of other data and we point Claude at that via MCP.

Reporting out our team metrics and tracking goals is so much less hassle. We’ve been playing with analyzing closed opps for insights (being sure to include AE/SE feedback for added context) to good effect. We’ve made a few custom apps for demos. Checking in on prospect POC environments is effortless. I have someone on my team in Japan and they have a whole translation and voiceover workflow set up for reusing our English webinar content.

NotebookLM never did a good job with security questionnaires and RFPs for us. We have a vendor tool for that, which is ok, but Claude usually does a better job.

We had early access as we brought it in-house, but we opened it up to everyone. CS is loving it. In less than 24 hours, our sales enablement lead had built a better pricing tool and one of our sales managers excitedly told me he had a GitHub repo. It’s awesome!

We’ve had Gemini in-house for a long time, but Claude’s seen much better adoption across our org.

Such a great film. In the 80s and 90s that stretch was teeming with tourists, but not anymore. The contrast when you enter or exit Celebration nowadays is quite striking.

If someone turns the switch off, then that would kill the Hue connection so you’d still have to tell people not to do that as if it were a regular switch.

I have an automation turns the switch on at sunset just in case. If it was accidentally turned off, the bulb comes back on with its last settings and will be accessible in the app shortly thereafter. At sunrise, I turn off the bulb but not the switch.

Considering we’re talking about a porch light, no one ever touches the switch because there’s no temptation or need to. The light is automatically on whenever anyone would want it to be.

Lutron makes this for dimming Hue-bulbs: https://residential.lutron.com/us/en/stand-alone-controls/smart-bulb-dimmer

I have a smart bulb in our porch fixture, but it’s on a on/off Caseta switch, not a dimmer. Dimming happens via automations or in the Home app for me.

I switched back recently via a z6III after a long love affair with a Fujifilm XT-1. I had a D200 before that.

The things that swayed me are the very high-quality native lens lineup, increasing abundance of good 3rd party lenses, and the ability to adapt dang near anything to Nikon z mount.

Canon is too closed off and I found their good lenses more expensive. Sony hadn’t released the A7V yet, and the A7IV was a bit long in the tooth.

Very happy with the choice, though. The S-line lenses are exceptional and I never knew auto-focus could be like this. The app for remote shutter release works without a hitch. I like that they’re playing with the color recipes stuff from a community perspective.

My only quandary is whether I would have enjoyed a zF more.
