I Need Coffee - Episode 189 - Weekly BC Review! (Nov 14, 2025)1. Audio/Tech Setup Woes   - Scarlet Focusrite interface dials failing annually → open to sub-$1k alternatives.   - Blue Origin rocket launch (full booster landing on ocean ship) impressed him.2. Health & Weekend Recap   - Lingering cold (week 2+) → limited productivity.   - Cursor vs Copilot testing: Cursor better UX but can't use Microsoft extensions (licensing issues); sideload hacks break things like Cosmo Alpaca.   - Watched delayed Brazil F1 race (chaotic) + movie "The Family Man" (loves it).3. AI Integration & Mindset Shift   - Using Perplexity 10x/day for everything (recipes to app settings).   - AI-first routine: "Hey, could AI do this?" → reviewed a full AL project in Cursor, caught missing setup option & suggested fixes.   - Dev question: When to abandon AI? Steve's cutoff ~1 hour if it's leading astray (avoid sunk cost); restart with new prompts/approach.4. Support Tickets & BC Quirks   - Integration error: Field length overflow after 1 year (255 chars limit hit); added truncation.   - Cronus sales order won't post to "invoice only" (needs "ship & invoice" first) → bad error message; Perplexity failed to help.   - Corrections from order-to-invoice don't recreate editable invoice copy.   - Seeking US equivalent to SEPA direct debit (avoid relying on Europe-specific features).5. Security & Phishing Rants   - "Phishing-resistant MFA" buzz (e.g., passkeys, conditional access).   - Partner got phished (distracted, entered creds) → "How? Really?"   - Microsoft account locked popup confusion (too many logins); discovered .microsoft TLD (e.g., admin.cloud.microsoft).6. External APIs & Vendor Nightmares   - SAS API delays: Promised Sept feature → still missing in Nov; requires drilling into each transaction (thousands possible).   - Wells Fargo supplier payment portal: "Horrible" – no pasting, repeated passwords, aneurysms-inducing UX → just print checks instead.7. Tuesday Morning Catastrophe   - Cat sat on Apple TV remote at 5:30 AM → blasted F1 Brazil race at full volume/brightness.8. Conferences & Submissions   - Submitted co-presenter session for DynamicsCon 2026 (Las Vegas, May 12-15).   - Upcoming: Summit NA Road Shows (Dec 9 Houston, Dec 11 Fort Lauderdale); DynamicsCon Regionals 2026 (Jan Tampa, Mar Vancouver, Apr Denver).9. Berlin, El Salvador Team Updates   - Joselyn: RDLC reports, KB article on vendor refunds.   - David: Custom reports/layouts, SOD mods.   - Ronald: McCorma supercheck/overflow demo prep.   - Franklin: Partner dashboard PRs.   - Fatima: PMP exam prep (180 questions, 4 hours); Elco Christmas Festival planning (Dec 13-14, Steve/Tanya attending).   - Starting Dynamics User Group in El Salvador.10. Mechanical Keyboards Rabbit Hole    - Ergonomics focus: Kinesis Advantage 360 ($400-600) for RSI prevention (floating hands, thumb keys) – used by Lex Fridman, but too pricey/funky.    - Coffee-themed keycaps spotted.    - OG typing: IBM Selectric typewriter (golf ball heads, correction ribbons, humming motor).11. Q&A / Misc    - Framework Laptop: Modular/repairable, $1,500-1,900 for mid-high specs → cool but he'll stick to used ThinkPads.    - Heading to "important meetings with fancy people."
