Movie nights for me and my family are magical, and the kids are satisfied by the excellent picture quality.''Took a chance on this being a less expensive projector so my expectations were pretty low, but I can safely say it far exceeds my needs,' another reviewer said. 'I'm using it for patio night movies with the kids and friends, and it's perfect. Brightness is good, picture quality is more than decent, and the auto picture correct works well. All of the manual functions are intuitive and easy to use.'

1 big thing: 🛥️ Let's go boating
Welcome to Tuesday. It's Katie. 🚘Axios Charlotte members are the driving force behind our newsroom. Join them today. ⛈️ Weather: Low 90s with scattered thunderstorms. 🎂 Happy birthday to our Axios Charlotte member Elizabeth Baker. Situational awareness: Today marks 10 years since a white supremacist murdered nine Black parishioners at a Bible study at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, the oldest Black congregation in the South. Alexis Clinton It's boat season, and local companies recommend you book in advance if you want to spend time on the water this summer. Why it matters: Charlotte may be landlocked, but that doesn't mean a day on the water is out of reach — whether it's a pool, lake or river. We've rounded up a few boat rental companies offering ways for you to keep cool and entertained this summer. Tiki Time Boat Rentals — A company with a tiki-themed boat cruising on Lake Norman with room for 19 passengers. The hourly tiki boat ride starts at $200 and comes with a Bluetooth speaker, grill, seated bar, bathroom, karaoke, water mat, paddleboards and a cooler. Black Boat Club — This company, which operates on Lake Norman and Lake Wylie, sells out every weekend. Reservations are typically needed a month in advance. The operator has a tritoon, pontoon and sports boats. Tega Cay Marina — Rent a 10-passenger pontoon on Lake Wylie starting at $425, including the first full tank of gas. 2. Black Boat Weekend on Lake Norman Alexis Clinton While we're on the topic of boating: More than 100 boats will be on Lake Norman for Black Boat Weekend on Saturday, July 19. Why it matters: The organized boat party is almost sold out but there are still a few ways to experience some of the festivities during the three-day event. Context: Entrepreneur Charisme Dhanani was inspired to start Black Boat Weekend after seeing large boat parties in Florida and Chicago. This year will be the first year at Lake Norman. Dhanani hopes to make it an annual event here. "We're throwing a full-on floating party and this event is open to everyone," Dhanani tells Axios. Details: Black Boat Weekend has a list of scheduled events from July 18-20. Festivities will kick off on Friday with a free meet-and-greet day party at Medusa Lounge in NoDa from 3-9pm. Saturday is the main event with boats and DJs on Lake Norman from 11am-7pm. An after-party at Explicit Bistro and Lounge will be held from 9pm-2am. Tickets are $20-40.

A full weekend VIP ticke t is $2,850 for 10 people. 3. 🍌 The Bananas' Uptown boost Ashley Mahoney Charlotte went bananas earlier this month when a wacky baseball team packed out Bank of America Stadium two nights in a row. The Savannah Bananas drew 148,000 people in Charlotte, a team record. Why it matters: Mecklenburg County hotels were near record capacity when the Bananas came to Charlotte, which is a win for Charlotte's visitor economy, according to Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority (CRVA) CEO Steve Bagwell. Zoom in: While post-pandemic business travel was slow to recover, leisure travel in Uptown has boomed in recent years, bolstering center city's recovery. Major events like the 2023 Beyoncé concert have drawn thousands of visitors Uptown, where they patronize hotels, restaurants and bars. By the numbers: Mecklenburg County hotels had 81.5% occupancy for Friday, June 6, and 90% for Saturday, June 7, according to the CRVA. The average hotel rate was $146.17 for June 6 and $159.03 for June 7. Go deeper 4. A Duke Energy bill and other speed reads 💡 A major energy bill being debated by the Republican-led General Assembly would eliminate an interim goal that mandates Duke Energy reach a 70% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, while keeping in place a longer-term goal of being carbon neutral in 2050. (Axios) 💪 The Club, a new fitness-meets-co-working space in South End, will open its second floor on Saturday, June 21. In addition to the fitness rooms that opened earlier this year, The Club will soon offer a co-working space with 30 seats and a full-service coffee bar featuring drinks from Pertinacious Coffee Co., according to a press release. 🍔 Mooyah Burgers, Fries, and Shakes — a Texas-based fast-casual restaurant known for its hand-cut fries, ice cream shakes and burgers — will open in Uptown at 210 E Trade St. on June 30, a representative confirmed to Axios. 🛍️ CAMP, an immersive store with kid-friendly activities and toys, will open soon at SouthPark mall.

The cycling class holds up to 32 people and often features themed playlists, like "Rihanna vs. Rufus" and "Tate McRae and Ellie Goulding." 6. 🥵 Steamy summer nights Summer nights have gotten 1.7 degrees warmer in Charlotte over the last five decades, according to a new report from Climate Central, a research and communications group. Average summer nighttime temperatures increased between 1970-2024 in 96% of 241 locations analyzed.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy just got brutally honest about AI — and other bosses may follow his lead
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told employees that AI will reduce head count as the company gets "scrappier." Management commentators say his memo might open the floodgates for more AI job-loss talk. Vague AI messaging risks losing top talent, one workplace commentator told BI. Amazon's CEO just said the quiet part out loud: AI is coming for plenty of jobs — and other bosses may soon follow his lead. On Tuesday, Andy Jassy said in a memo that employees should figure out "how to get more done with scrappier teams" and that the move toward AI would eventually "reduce our total corporate workforce." Amazon, with about 1.5 million workers, is the second-largest private employer in the US. Workplace commentators told Business Insider that Jassy's candor may prompt other leaders to feel comfortable telling their employees who — or what — will replace them. Marlo Lyons, an author and certified executive coach, said Amazon's directness might encourage other companies to follow suit. "I think if you have a big company that's talking about AI, then it does make it easier for smaller companies to talk about AI — this is basically culture modeling," she told BI. "In some ways, it might scare you, but at the same time, it should make you say, 'OK, at least my company's being honest to me about it,'" Lyons said. Other CEOs have also become increasingly transparent about AI expectations, although few have explicitly said it would reduce their existing workforce. Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke said in a memo in April that "AI usage is now a baseline expectation," and that before managers make a hire, they must first prove that AI couldn't do the job better. Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski said in December last year that the fintech had stopped hiring because "AI can already do all of the jobs that we as humans do." Meanwhile, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said earlier this month that AI agents were already beginning to act like junior-level coworkers and may soon be able to deliver business solutions. "It'll send shivers down the backs of employees," said Cary Cooper, professor of organizational psychology and health at Manchester Business School in the UK, of the Jassy memo. "I think it'll open it up for HR to now have discussions with senior management about how we deal with this — the introduction of AI in our business." Cooper warned companies should be specific with staff about which jobs might be affected and what retraining opportunities are available, or risk "regrettable turnover" — losing the talent they most want to keep. Thomas Roulet, professor of organisational sociology and leadership at the University of Cambridge, told BI that linking layoffs with AI was not new — even if Jassy's openness felt like a turning point. "Firms do not hesitate to use AI as a reason to downsize, whether it is an excuse or an opportunity," he said. "Very often, they downsize before even thinking what they will replace with AI, due to market pressures." "AI is a great scapegoat for a lot of unpopular strategic choices at the moment," Roulet added. "There is enormous pressure on companies to show that they are able to replace employees with AI tools," Peter Cappelli, a professor of management at The Wharton School, told BI. "But the evidence indicates that it is very difficult to do so." Klarna, for example, made headlines in 2022 when the company laid off 700 employees, mostly customer service agents, in favor of AI. In May, the financial services company had to hire some back to improve its services. In Roulet's view, many companies that have already cut jobs in favor of AI were moving too fast. "Unfortunately, many firms think of workforce reduction and engage with such reductions before they even think about AI replacement," said Roulet. "The reality is that bringing in AI into work takes a lot of learning cycles and trial and error — it does not appear clearly overnight." Read the original article on Business Insider

Save $250 on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Joe Maring / Android Authority We just reported on a really nice discount on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. While really cool, the ultra-thin phone is not Samsung's best offering. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra still holds the crown, and this phone is also discounted by $250. Buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra for $1,049.99 ($250 off) This offer is available from Amazon. The discount is available for all color versions available: Titanium Black, Titanium Gray, Titanium Silverblue, and Titanium Whitesilver. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Samsung's best for 2025 Simply put, this is Samsung's very best phone for 2025. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a 6.9-inch QHD+ device with 12GB of RAM, 256GB+ of storage, embedded S Pen, and the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. The key upgrade over the lower S25 models is a 200MP main camera and 100x Space Zoom. See price at Amazon Save $250.00 The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra still holds the spot as the top premium option in our list of the best Android phones. It's a high-end phone with little to no compromises. We also gave it a very favorable review, so it's really hard not to recommend it, especially when on sale, such as today. Of course, performance won't be an issue with this phone. It comes with a Qualcomm Snapodragon 8 Elite and 12GB of RAM, giving you enough power to handle any app, task, or game. It's also great for multimedia consumption, touting a 6.9-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It will be great for movies, general browsing, or gaming. Not only that, but the inclusion of the S Pen makes it a great option for drawing or taking notes. Joe Maring / Android Authority As if all of that wasn't enough, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is also one of the best camera phones around (it's actually our top pick). It produces gorgeous imagery, and its a very versatile camera system, with plenty of shooters. And if you care for battery life, this phone is outstanding in this department, offering about two days per charge. Of course, the design is also top-notch. You get a titanium frame with Gorilla Glass 2, and it has an IP68 rating. Not only that, but it also has a seven-year update commitment, which is among the best in the industry, matched only by Google. Catch this deal while you can! It's actually a record-low price for Amazon. We saw it go for $1,000 some time ago, but that offer came from Samsung's website, and it was very short-lived. This $1,049.99 offer may be the best you'll be able to get in a while.
