Echo Dot

During the pandemic our office was inspected and structurally condemned, so we literally have nowhere to go back to, the building is now a car park. It’s great.

I wholeheartedly recommend black mould and a leaky roof to anyone that doesn’t want to go back, it might be hard to arrange but it definitely works.

Unions haven’t got anything to do with it. Unions are about protecting you from unfair business practises, it’s not a social club, nor do they try to be.

Or if we use less adversarial language, this study is far from universal and its findings should be applied with the understanding that not all people will not match those who were in the study. As with most things, far more research is needed to get a thorough understanding.

I actually don’t like my coworkers very much I definitely wouldn’t hang out with them so not having to be near them all day is a benefit.

It’s not even that they are bad people, it’s just that they are people who I wouldn’t choose to hang out with.

There are some legitimate uses for them but I definitely think they should be locked down so that only people who actually have a legitimate need can find people.

I’m actually surprised that this is the first time that’s happened.

America is not exactly known for having standard news programs as anyone in the rest of the world would consider them, it’s just a matter of picking your preferred bias.

You pay by weight, so I don’t really understand what its problem was.

I think it really depends on the store. In the UK I have to say that they’re generally pretty terrible, but the ones in M&S (a UK supermarket) are normally fine. Tesco’s has the worst ones, they are always complaining about something and there’s never enough cashiers to fix them. Plus of course occasionally they just decide to pick on you and rescan all your items.

IKEA ones are floorless though

The best is when you buy fruit all vegetables and it decides that the Apple that you are buying doesn’t weigh the right amount.

One time I bought the largest potato you’ve ever seen in your life and it decided that it was too big and therefore could not possibly be a potato and must instead be some high value item I was stealing, although nonetheless scanning. But the problem is the alternative is to talk to people.

Hard to be unfamiliar with the country you grew up in

If anyone can do it, it’s Americans. I’ve had arguments with Americans who insist that New Mexico is in Mexico despite it being called New Mexico.

It’s so obvious that he’s a twat though.

Yes because I’m not buying whisky online am I’m going to a physical store where I can give them my physical ID and they can look at my physical face. Unless I’m wearing a very convincing prosthetic there isn’t very much I can do to hide my identity.

Online is harder, just because I have uploaded an ID doesn’t mean it’s mine. What are they going to do, demand a video as well, because it’s not as if video generation hasn’t already gotten to the point where it’s perfectly capable of faking that kind of thing.

I can see you haven’t thought about this at all. You should run for office.

It means making it look like Windows Vista. Because that’s what we all wanted, the perpetuation of a crappy design.

My concern would be that the police would confiscate my phone. Not that they would necessarily be anything on it, but I don’t want them to have my nice expensive phone. They can have this crappy cheap one instead.

I don’t think their gyroscopes are good enough for that level of inertial navigation. You could just fling it around tossing it up in the air and down again, that would totally mess with its navigation.

The far greater threat is that you just have the phone taken off you. For that reason alone you should use a burner, but I don’t think you should be worried that they can track you based on gyroscope history.

Just go out wearing a MAGA hat. They only have small brains it’ll probably confuse them.

Like how insects are always pretending to be wasps so they don’t get eaten, see it’s scientific.

The law in question would require all porn sites to verify the age of its users

Wait aren’t they proposing the same thing in the US as well? It’s a fairly standard thing of right-wing governments to just demand the impossible with no understanding about it could possibly be achieved.

I’m not questioning whether or not the game is good, just wondering why Apple would want to limit their customer base so much.

So what.

I had to look up what the hell games arcade was because I’ve never heard of it, which rather proved my point about it being a limited platform.

I’ve spoken to a few friends who have iPhones and none of them have anything to do with games arcade, and only one of them even knew what it was.

It sort of feels like some hiring managers just hired his mates and apple hasn’t noticed because the entire acquisition was to the tune of $50 and an iTunes gift card.

It’s just a really weird way they announced it as if it was some major event.
