Is your TV mounted too high? This group of trolls on the internet is about to roast you.
- Reddit's r/TVTooHigh is focused on criticizing people who mount their televisions too high.
- The ideal place to mount a television, according to most experts, is so it's at eye level while you're sitting on the couch.
- There are some places on the internet we know are dens of trolling and cruelty: 4chan. Certain Discords. Snark subreddits. Nextdoor comments. The replies on X to anything Elon Musk posts.
- The subreddit has more than 250,000 members and a mix of posts from people seeking real advice about whether their TV placement is right or posting photos of laughably high TVs they found either in real life or online.
- There is something that absolutely delights me about seeing this kind of roasting. Absolutely savage, vicious insults being hurled at people but about something totally meaningless.
- In many newer-built American homes, fireplaces are placed at the focal point of a living room and can be an obvious place for a TV.
- When someone posted a photo of their TV mounted with the Mantel Mount, the comments went wild.
- There are some positive things that come out of r/TVTooHigh. Some people genuinely find it helpful.
- Joe Wall changed it up: He removed the TV from the mount and placed the set on a new media stand.

Grading our 2024 enterprise technology predictions
- The article evaluates the 2024 predictions made alongside Enterprise Technology Research's Erik Bradley and discusses whether they have held up to data so far. In terms of sustained budget pressures for global tech spending, midsize firms have landed within the 4-5% growth forecast, smaller firms appear to be facing greater budget pressures and the Global 2000 is tracking at 2.7% growth for the year. AI has not been a tide that lifts all ships, and those firms that are seeing ROI on AI projects are experiencing small 'wins' which are not self-funding. Visualization of code output is helping to lower the barrier for shipping generated code in real product use cases.
- The prediction that cybersecurity would remain a top investment priority proved accurate, as did the focus on addressing sophisticated threats and regulatory compliance. Hybrid cloud models are gaining traction over aggressive public cloud migrations. Organizations across industries are prioritizing data literacy and addressing challenges such as AI hallucinations to ensure meaningful, actionable GenAI outputs. There has been a notable increase in demand for roles such as 'gen AI prompt engineers', ethical AI use and data literacy.
- The GenAI trend is bifurcated, with 'me too' AI lagging behind leaders and hyper-scalers benefiting from the AI wave. Networking challenges in AI environments, particularly around latency and bandwidth, are becoming more prominent. Legacy players such as Dell, IBM, Oracle and HPE have leveraged AI and hybrid cloud offerings to remain competitive. Gen AI models are also creating a renewed focus on governance and data quality which benefits trusted ecosystems such as cloud.
- Private-market shifts, M&As and IPOs are slowly picking up, but economic constraints haven't provided second lives for companies that are struggling to gain market share. Overall, the predictions balance well-established trends with forward-looking insights, keeping in mind the degree of difficulty. Looking into the year ahead, experts suggest that certain predictions such as hybrid cloud strategies and the rise of gen AI-driven skills and tools will continue to gain traction.
