https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/7/18170285/ge-google-netflix-spotify-exhaust-vent-smart-display-kitchen-hub-ces-2019 ... GE wants to put a smart display at head level while you’re cooking. The Kitchen Hub is a 27-inch touchscreen that runs Android and also functionally replaces your exhaust vent at its mounting above your stove. The company first teased the device at last year’s CES but ultimately never shipped it. It has updated this year’s version with a sleeker interface and tons of features like video calls and streaming movies.The Kitchen Hub costs $1,199 to $1,399, and it should ship in May this year, barring any further delay. Check out the full gallery of images below. It’s one good-looking vent, although due to its placement above the stove, it could easily be mistaken for a microwave.
Caveat Emptor.

People get shouted at for getting finger grease on my touch-screen laptop, so I hardly think I'm in the market for a cooking-grease-attracter screen above my stove, which would soon be covered with marks from floury, sticky, salmonella-infected fingers.
Most importantly, though: is it alexa compatible?

Came here to post the same thought. Anyone who's ever so much as looked at the inside of such a vent should pretty much automatically conclude this sounds like a very, very bad idea.

Maybe if you wore pants while cooking you wouldn't have this problem?

They should build it into the door for the microwave with a camera so you can optionally see what's cooking in the microwave when in use.
...once you have cleaned the grease off the touch-screen - ugh! Icky!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

My current favorite is the 'Updates are available' in server 2016. The only option available is to 'View updates', and yes once again for the umpteenth time is the same KB Definition Update for Defender that I've installed and restarted multiple times to apply! 
I just moved this box from server 08 a couple of weeks ago during the holiday break. Today is the first day customers will be using it so I will be watching the logs for the next few days to watch for any screwups.
Another note regarding a previous thread from last week...the retired OS was on an older 64GB SSD and still had slightly less than 10% free space. The new OS is only taking up about 36GB of 480GB, so this refutes the opinion that a 240GB drive is barely enough space for an OS. btw, that space used on the main drive includes sql server versions 2008r2, 2014, and 2016.

Got a new contract at the end of the year, company wanting a Process Model flowcharting thingy with simulation of process actions, decisions etc (based on BPMN V2.0 if any one is interested). Previous developer was apparently a gamer, he tried to write something in Unity. I am trying to go over his code, and have been thinking - "Why did he choose Unity - a gaming engine- for a business process tool?" The guy is apparently in his late 20s, so my thought was - maybe that is all he knows?
Can anyone come up with a reason to write a LOB tool in a gaming engine? ( He did not get to far, this contract is going to run at least a year I think).

You probably hit it right on the head.
Unity allows you to write C# code/scripts for your games, so he thinks he's a programmer. That's all he knows. Probably has zero experience with anything outside of Unity.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

Yes, my research has found several starting points in Github etc. They all having missing pieces, but they make for a good starting point.

So the next obvious question is, who approved of that and gave him the go-ahead?
