Brian knew the Old Ways. Without Brian, we are lost.

So, side story. Management at my old company wanted a dick-wagging screen in the office lobby. Literally just a graphic with the company logo and impressive sales numbers. Problem: they didn't want some random box having access to actual data. Fair. So the workaround was a static program that literally started from X and incremented by whatever values. And once or twice a year someone had to dig the airgapped PC out of a network closet and replace the exe via flash drive if the imaginary numbers got too incredulous. Brain dead simple procedure, well documented... and people still fucked it up.

By the time I left that TV was just playing fox business all day.
