Hype is a Business Tool – Scott Jenson

Hype is a business tool. Too many #UX folk don't know about the Gartner Hype cycle. Even those that do don't understand how it's being used to manipulate us, making our discussion of #genAI so complicated and scary. This is my attempt to calm things down a bit.

2 children from behind. One is about 2, with a curly mop of brown hair and a striped t shirt. The other is about 7, wearing a straw hat with flowers. They are sitting on a bench, looking out over a lush English countryside scene. Lush grass, a wooden posted wire fence with some trees and yellow flowers beyond. It is a clear day, glowing with warmth.

"one day, none of this will be yours" I whisper to them, in warm parental tones

Age verification: what's the harm? | Girl on the Net explains Age verification has hit the UK, people need to upload ID to see 'adult' content. What's the harm in laws like this, if they protect children? Let's see.

#AgeVerification: what's the harm?

In which I distill a lot of casual pub chats I've had with friends into a layperson's guide to the #OnlineSafetyAct. What it is, the problems it causes, and why you should definitely care.

the only time I enjoy it is when I am actively trolling the platform and posting culture which probably isn't helping my career much

trying to make plans by looking at the rear facing 720p dash cam of hope mounted in the vauxhall corsa of destiny while speeding down the M4 of an uncertain and daunting future

24 inches really was too big in portrait for me - the top of the monitor was too high. There are used 22 inch 1050p dell monitors that are cheap enough to try with low stakes 😊

It's just for text so honestly anything with decent viewing angles will be amaze - much as I learned to love it, my old 2008 era screen was not great. I have a vesa arm already - stand a bonus but not essential.

Prompted by using a 24 inch 1920 by 1200 that was fine but too tall or big for my workspace. Primary monitor is landscape 27 inch, 4k.

20 inch for 1600 by 1200. 22 inch for 1680 by 1050.

Probably going to hold off buying for a couple of weeks for various reasons anyway. Safe travels. May the snacks be joyful 🌈🌟

Trying to. For secondary monitor - for documentation reading, so will be in portrait.

Are the viewing angles good enough for portrait orientation?

Difficult to find a decent 1600 by 1200 screen for not stupid money - now looking at 1680 by 1050. Subscribe for more of whatever this is I guess 🀷
