					<description><![CDATA[Four years ago, I did a video on how to use Mermaid.js with Business Central. That was with rendering of the diagrams in a ControlAddin with JavaScript. This time, I have moved the rendering into AL code, so I&#8217;m not dependent on the controladdin.

					<description><![CDATA[Every major computing platform has been asked the eternal question: But can it play DOOM? This question has been asked of cars, fridges, smartwatches, and many other devices or systems never meant to host a 3D game. Somehow, Business Central has eluded the question until now; check the video for the answer that might shock [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For years, I have used &#8220;Azure Translator in Foundry Tools&#8221; for translating our apps. Great translations, but lacking context, so a few months back, I switched my process to use LLMs for translations with much better results.

					<description><![CDATA[FlowFields are great. It&#8217;s one of the superpowers of Business Central. But it&#8217;s also possible to create FlowFields that require filters to be performant. Some operations can access flowfields directly without filters, thereby killing performance. Check out the video for the dirty details: https://youtu.be/Pt-Dt_KT9W4 In this video, Erik demonstrates a critical performance pitfall in Business [&#8230;]]]></description>
