Yes 👇 I was going to say power distribution, UPS, power conditioning. So true, the internet special might not be best choice. Also, when UPS says replace my batteries, please do so - had a CER power down one day. Wasn't pretty #avtweeps #AVinTheAM

BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:

Rep. @jrclemmons.bsky.social asking @govbilllee some fair questions…

Design upfront or fix as needed? "SpaceX has a “break it and fix it” philosophy of development, unlike the traditional approach of NASA and older aerospace companies... That leads to more failures, but SpaceX has shown it can be faster and more efficient." #avtweeps www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/s...

Genie: "You have three wishes." Trump: "I want law enforcement abolished." Genie: "Granted, You have no wishes left." Trump: "You said I have three wishes. I only used one!" Genie: "So arrest me."

With all that’s going wrong in this country, this is the regime’s priority?

An A.I. company that promises to do your thinking for you is “also threatening, somewhere down the line, to scoot you off the stage for good,” Vinson Cunningham writes.

Also, a person with a used $250 display off eBay can outperform a $100,000 digital signage system in many situations. Heck, a free chalkboard can as well... content is, and always will be, KING #AVinTheAM

At this point with the cost being so low I think in general you may as well build the infrastructure 4k capable but I agree it's overkill for most uses.

This 👇 #avtweeps systems Yes to 4K whatever infrastructure, but be realistic about system use ans staffing #AVinTheAM

TOURÉ REPORT TO THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump’s very stern 5th warning to Putin that he better agree to a ceasefire or else (he posted the first one in January) is really working well. Maybe if he makes another Truth Social post the 6th time will be a charm.

All companies should have a plan B freelance network that gets "in-house certifications". AV companies should be an exhibitor at job fairs especially at Community Colleges.

For us, internal referrals are huge, but you also need to make sure the new teammate fits the culture of the employer. If it's a culture miss-match, both the new employee and the team will struggle to mesh well #AVintheAM

Face to Face is huge. Even if you come to Orlando, stay at a cheap hotel, and just talk to people at the companies you want to work for, get your name in their heads! Also, learn about where the tech trends are going. Attend after parties to make yourself known. Give out personal "cards" #AVintheAM

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

Protection is still less expensive and great where you don't show always want a display. If two sides of the room are windows and the others are a door and operable partition there aren't many other choices #AVinTheAM

Projection is still: - Cheaper - Less prone to damage (in many applications) - Easier to replace (swap out) - Quicker/Easier to install - Has a proven shelf life - With screens, tucks away nicely Until we see inexpensive large foldable screens, projection will live on. #AVinTheAM

One of these things is not like the others

Democrats have no power to shut down the govt. Even when Republicans control the Presidency, House, Senate and every legislative committee, they still try to blame Democrats for their failures. Pass your budget! (Oh sorry, you can’t figure out how to do that). Pass your CR then!

I’m sure Trump will condemn this publicly in the strongest possible terms, and demand that Putin stop the senseless killing and indiscriminate bombing by Russians of civilian targets.

I’m sure Kevin Sorbo and Kid Rock can collaborate on a musical.

Some employees who were previously fired received emails saying they're "clear to return to work."

Setting and managing proper expectations. Goes for both larger deals and smaller projects. Don’t let sales over promise and “yes” a client to where operations will struggle to deliver. #avintheam #avtweeps

Why do so many want to value-engineer out acoustical treatments? Great six-figure systems sound terrible because someone wanted to save $10K. Lack of respect for quality... buy at trunk slammer prices and you get bad results. Get something well engineered/installed and it’ll make you happy for ages!

Resourcing. Poor investment in personnel and training can leave you short on quality or falling behind. Invest in people, train and retain #AVinTheAM

"It is no exaggeration to say this will kill people—mainly people who are elderly, disabled and/or poor. Society’s most vulnerable sit in the crosshairs of our nation’s wealthiest people who have absolutely everything, but somehow always want more."

New — The Social Security Administration (SSA) Acting General Counsel Grace Kim just announced her retirement to staff, a person who was present tells me. Kim will be replaced by a private sector exec named Mark Steffensen, formerly of HSBC. Sources say he was directly picked by White House.

Staff and observers worry that the agency may not be prepared for emerging threats including bird flu and insect-borne diseases.
