@q I like the idea a bunch of Geordies are going to pile off that very confused because the driver took a wrong turn.

@adhdjesse there’s no need to call me out like that.

@anon_opin I mean we could pick a government that acknowledges that fact and leans into it rather than obsessing over whether we have nuclear weapons.

Grabbed some stuff out the bottom of my bag, and look who came along.

@pikesley as a nation we have a long history of appeasement which must be upheld.

@blitter @0xabad1dea I’ll never understand why the US banking system is so antiquated but it is amusing when the startups adding layers to make it less antiquated try to launch in the rest of the world and everyone looks confused because we can already do everything from our phones via real banks.

@an0key fuck you too, Luke. I did not need that reminder of how old I am.

@mgleadow I think in a case like this the starting point is usually reverse engineering the application that opens the file. Try to find the code that accepts your serial number and license key and it may point you towards how it works.

@pikesley he apparently phygitalized a racket to sell it for pretend money. Whether or not this is true or entirely fabricated is unclear because even the legit crypto posts read like shit posts. www.cointime.ai/flash-news/vec

@eval I once forgot my laptop charger when going into the office and managed to just about sustain charge by plugging into a USB-C port on a colleague’s laptop, so long as I didn’t do anything more strenuous than running a web browser.

Slow clap for VOXI, who offer the memorable word option “Grandma’s postcode” and then require it to be 6-12 characters.

@anon_opin anyone doing that should have to buy a ticket for their bag.

@pikesley lol, hit reply to say this. Found I already had two years ago.

I think I might make my whole identity the belief that podcasts should be abbreviated to casts rather than pods. The “pod” bit is vestigial now no one is listening to them on iPods. Also “listen to my cast” sounds way cooler.

@pikesley if I were to hassle people about something to the degree tech companies try to make use their new thing I’d have a restraining order against me quite quickly.

Your devices can have unlimited battery life with this one weird trick.

How the fuck was GDPR (or whatever it’s called under UK law post-Brexit) found to only apply if you don’t lose money by not tracking people? Absolutely fuming at the wave of “accept our 16,522 closest friends having data on you or take out a £7.99 a month subscription” across media websites now.

Jeff Bozos' wedding guests are turning up in 95 private jets and untold mega yachts in fucking sinking Venice and meanwhile I gotta cut my hand rinsing out a tin of tomatoes so I can recycle it, the fuck man. The fuck.

Great start to the week as I realise my keys aren’t in my pocket as the front door clicks shut. Now waiting for a locksmith to arrive.

@an0key @John oh shit, did that happen routinely? I once saw one ilo license delivered in a big box but had assumed someone just messed up in shipping it.

@hellpie @0xabad1dea I’m sorry, Google want me to do what now?

@jonathanhogg that was what I was attempting this morning, couldn’t bring myself to jump off any higher than the second foot hold. I suspect I just need to keep trying at it.

From the kids knocking about the gym with their parents this morning it appears part of the answer is “start climbing before you’re old enough to understand gravity”. Some of these kids in harnesses 30m above the ground barely look like they’ve learned to walk.
