Everyone is arguing about AI ROI right now. Boards want a number. Consultants are selling frameworks. And the headlines look brutal: an MIT report claimed 95% of enterprise GenAI pilots showed no measurable return, and a Forbes piece this January says 56% of CEOs see zero ROI from AI. So AI is a bust, right? Here is the thing. Ask any of those same companies to turn off email for a week. Just try it. Nobody ever ran a six month ROI study on email. Nobody had to.

You build a report template in HTML. It looks right in the browser: the layout holds, the webfont loads, the Chart.js graph draws. Then you run it through WeasyPrint and the PDF comes back with a blank space where the chart should be. No exception, no warning, just a hole in the page. That is not a bug you can fix. WeasyPrint does not execute JavaScript, so anything drawn or injected client-side simply does not exist as far as its renderer is concerned. This post walks through where the Python P...

Hasbro's ambitious plan to expand into video games appears to have hit an expensive snag, as the company has recorded a $56 million impairment charge related to its video games portfolio for 2028 and beyond, according to its second-quarter earnings results.
