Wow. #ApexLegends partnered with #HermanMiller, giving each competitor an Embody. I guess someone heard the player complaints. 😂

@ajroach42 NLS (oNLine System) was an outgrowth of Engelbart's Augment group at SRI (Stanford Research Institute) and also: not military.

I'm attaching an image from The Engelbart Hypothesis (2009) which shows the meditative full lotus/cross legged seating in use by some.

Bill English (also part of Engelbart's Augment group) not only invented the mouse, he basically pioneered the field of ergonomics. They partnered with Herman Miller to design a lot of their prototypes.

Trivia: (learned via John Daneen [sp?] at n CoLABoration 2010 Program for the Future held at the Computer History Museum with Engelbart et al present) SRI actually terminated Doug Engelbart after he gave the "Mother of all Demos" presentation in 1968.

Eventually, J.C.R. Licklider heard of the presentation & was so excited that someone had built a computer network (about which he had theorized, though "Lick" worked on SAGE [Semi-Automatic Ground Environment ]) that he contacted SRI to discuss providing them with funding (which is when NLS got subsumed into [D]ARPANet).

SRI, very quietly: hired Doug back.

There's unfortunately, a lot of confusion about a lot of this stuff as much of this technology was commercialized by companies which had no stake in creating it. e.g. Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999) gets more or less all of it wrong, implying that Micro$oft and Apple stole such ideas from Xerox PARC.

PARC had a cross licensing agreement with SRI and SAIL.

Additionally, it is my understanding that Apple paid SRI licensing fees when they implemented their own version of the mouse (but they only used one button, whereas SRI/Bill English had already experimented with many variations and determined through user studies that three buttons had the fewest trade offs).

This happens to me every day but only when my headphones are in. It’s a pretty incredible journey for the static charge:

Chair -> Pants -> Legs -> Ears -> Earbuds -> 3.5mm extension cable -> 3.5mm to RCA Adapter -> Audio Mixer -> Macbook Audio Input -> Macbook Mobo -> HDMI Out -> Monitor

I've never doubted the cause, though. The monitor going black is always timed with a jolt of pain in my ears.

I'm using a #HermanMiller Embody and have no plans to ground the chair lol.

Didn't realize I had so much brand loyalty to my adjustable desks until I saw the announcement email that #Fully (formerly #ErgoDepot?) is now part of #HermanMiller and it had me a little shaken

Upgraded the JoeCave™️ today. Ordered it back in January and it just arrived today. I wish the CEO of MillerKnoll hadn’t turned out to be such a POS, but the furniture itself is first rate. Still made to order, proudly in West Michigan. I had to save for a while for it, as one can imagine. #hermanmiller #eamesloungechair #mancave #decor

Okay, #HermanMiller is a #WontBuy from now on...

After initially saying she would “not be dissuaded by a 90-second clip taken out of context," the CEO of MillerKnoll told staff Tuesday that she now understands that her wording “seemed insensitive."

Apparently, if you buy a #HermanMiller chair, you are helping an overpaid CEO f*ck the avg worker ?
https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/18/business/millerknoll-ceo-bonus-pity-city/index.html

actually the answer to this is elect more progressive democrats to congress so we can raise marginal tax rates, but #socialmedia hates complex long term solutions that actually require hard work and committment

So, you like that #hermanmiller chair?

How about the CEO taking $6.4 million in bonuses for herself then cancelling everyone else's bonus and telling them to get out of "pity city".

Embarrassing.

MillerKnoll says a video of CEO Andi Owen telling employees to stop "thinking about what you’re going to do if you don’t get a bonus" was taken "out of context."

So 3 years ago, I stared working from home. Bought a #HermanMiller #Aeron chair.

I hate it. But I spent so much on it I don't want to take the hit on finding another one. Anyone else with this experience?

And no crap about sitting wrong. It's a chair. However I sit is the correct way.

I’m gonna fill this with so many farts.
