I like Paul a lot but I’m really ready for him to come back home. I’m very tired of the sounds of Mexico (what sounds like a train coming to a stop) in my headphones. Reminds me of when I lived next to train tracks for 2 months.


I don’t think there are any Windows ARM machines at my workplace but they are definitely allowing Macs and giving them out to people who want them and as we know those are ARM. Day to day the only non-ARM software we use is Entrust which I imagine will eventually move to ARM (or maybe it’ll be a forever Apple exception for the move to removing Rosetta 2)

Paul said Mixer was Microsoft’s version of Discord but that’s not the case. Mixer was a streaming service like Twitch. Technically Paul could argue he’s not 100% wrong because you can also stream to Discord but I think he was just mixing up what Mixer was. Mixer ended up being merged into Facebook

Richard made it sound like he was about to announce Michael Niehaus was dead.

Ok what do we need to do to stop Paul pronouncing Claude as cloud? It can be really confusing figuring out what he’s talking about.

MX is home, well at least half the year so the ambient sound of urban living will continue!

It makes for a terrible listening experience. I know he’s not gonna move back just because someone online complains (plus he never reads this forum anyway) but I was just expressing frustration.

@PHolder before I forgot (between now and when the next thread goes live) today on the WW preshow Richard acknowledge his fancy stone toilet bowl piece of art.

Yeah it’s just a piece of art from a local artist

Yeah, it was me who was asking him about it :smiley:
… you’re welcome :wink:
