Strategy

Working at home can be a challenge. Some of the finer points of setting up your home workstation are deciding how you want to spend your days, in the sense of available technology.

A lot of us are going to be doing this for a while, so there are a couple of approaches. You can either set it up to mimic the pit of cubicle-despair you had at the office, or you can set it up to be a freaking control center; a cockpit of resolute productivity and technology. Obviously, since no manager is looking over my shoulder, I chose the latter.

I have four monitors, plus a laptop screen that is hidden behind one of the monitors. So you can either count that as four or five. Whatever helps you sleep at night. The large monitor is in the center, with one on either side and a floater up

The latest episode in the Grand Theft Auto series from Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto V, came out almost seven years ago. Since then, GTA V has had releases on all the major consoles, and finally, on PC. With all of those players adding up to a huge fanbase, you’d think they could play together, right?

I mean, the game runs on the same core (presumably), needs you to create a Rockstar Social Club account, and sign in with that. You can even join crews that are on other platforms, so why wouldn’t it let you crossplay?

So, since GTAV is everywhere, can PC players crossplay with console players?

Short answer: No

See, even though GTA V is on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC – none of the platforms can play together. There was a huge uproar when the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 came out because

I told you so moments are rare for me these days. Either my wild predictions are years ahead of the trends and I can’t find the article or tweet where I swore I predicted that or it’s all in my head. But for a while now I’ve been admonishing your dumb ass for thinking you had 5G cell service just because your phone says “5G” on the stripe at the top.

For two years, AT&T has been promoting its marketing-based “5G Evolution” service with that 5G E icon. People proudly hold their phones up to my face and say “look I gots the 5G!” No, you don’t. You have slightly faster 4G LTE. Now, AT&T is being told by the National Advertising Division of the Better Business Bureau to drop the misleading 5G E crap. Because it’s not 5G!

What it is, is marketing. Pure and simple. It’s a way

It seems like it has been May for at least seven weeks, but we’re now in the home stretch, which means new movies and shows coming to Netflix in June 2020.

With June, comes season five of Queer Eye, all three seasons of Hannibal, season four of 13 Reasons Why, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and more. If you are a Fuller House fan, the final season also releases this month.

On the movie front, V for Vendetta is making its way back to the streaming platform and is being accompanied by highlights like Lady Bird, Twister, Starship Troopers, E.T., and The Silence of the Lambs.

Overall, it’s a pretty solid month, but it’s a bummer that movies like the Matrix and series like Mad Men are leaving during the month.
