Midrange graphics cards, text scams, nonstop beating heart, iOS 19, hard drive recycling, TMO plans, Tesla odometer, wisdom teeth and moths. A few nights ago one of my neighbors had an outdoor movie night and he battled a few technology issues to make it happen. The movie would be playing from an Apple TV device so it had to be positioned in a location that got strong enough WiFi. Of course it then had to be connected to the projector and he didn’t have a very long cable. Speakers also needed to be close enough to the projector which meant they were farther away from the folks watching the movie. The end result was a 30 foot image on the side of the house next door. While the audio wasn’t great, it still made for a very fun evening. There is no doubt we’ll do it again and some of the challenges will be alleviated.
