Anyone surprised the PSTN switch off is now 2027 and not 2025... No me neither.

@CenturyAvocado are you? Personally I’m fine with the delqy, as there are still plenty of bloody awkward cases where replacing kit or changing a setup isn’t desirable and actually because full fibre etc isn’t available alternatives are irritating. So hopefully the extra time will mean more full fibre available before I have to make changes for people.

@CenturyAvocado raw reliability. Alarms. Lift lines. Obscure safety lines. There are many scenarios.

I’ve got several places where it’s adsl or nothing. So removing pstn voice and forcing that on the already stressed adsl isn’t at all fine.

@CenturyAvocado In my case it is not generally work related, although I think IT is an increasing shit show, so it hardly helps.

Finally. Apple "we care about the environment" will stop bundling the apple stickers with everything that the vast majority of people never use or care about.

Imagine what they could do it they took the environment seriously.

@IceCubesApp Can you make a change t the app so that when you add media, if you hit post, it doesn't post it without the media if it's still uploading - eg can it wait for media to complete and then upload? Catches me (and others I know) out all the time...

Might cause some internet meltdown with this, but I really don’t think the latest Taylor Swift album is particularly good. 🤷‍♂️

Where precisely does Israel expect the innocent people to keep evacuating to??

And why the hell are we still giving Israel weapons and ammunition?

Has anyone any idea what the actual point is anymore?

Meanwhile… Russia keeps on killing the Ukrainians.

Great world we are in.

Trying to get in to a routine with the new Apple Watch.

For years I have used a Powerwatch which does not need charging, well, maybe a couple of times a year in the Winter. It uses solar and thermal, which is great.

The Apple watch lasts 3 days, but what I need to do is get in to a habit of charging at some point every day.

Not while sleeping, as use to track sleep.

But also not every 3 days, as no way to make that a "routine".

My current plan is "when I poor a whisky" 🙂

VModifiedMind,
@VModifiedMind@know.me.uk avatar

@revk The ultra lasts 3 days yeah - I find with the 'fast charger' included, it gets enough charge in 15-20 minutes during a shower to be good to go again - I never really bother to charge to 100%

The second common thing similar to "BT run the wires in the street so will be the quickest provider" appears to be "I'm going with Sky broadband to avoid the BT problems". Lots of people think their Sky internet service comes over the satellite dish and avoids any phone line problems they've had in the past.
Recently a road had a cable strike on the fibre feeding the FTTC cabinet. There was a lot of talk on their whatsapp about people moving to Sky to avoid the issue.

@CenturyAvocado they wanna have a chat with the people of East Devon where some of them had no Sky broadband between Monday and this morning due to a fibre strike. Sky didn't have route resilience either.

Email from Aviva: help us make things better for everyone

Another email: Reminder: Help us make things better for everyone.

Sorry, you’re not just asking me to complete a survey, but repeatedly pestering me to complete some survey I imagine that doesn’t benefit me at all, won’t reduce the insurance price etc

Companies really are taking the piss with the amount of correspondence they send and how little they think your time is worth.

Is anyone keeping a list of all the parts that are known to have fallen off a 737 in flight? Wondering how much longer until we can build a complete plane from the pile.

VModifiedMind,
@VModifiedMind@know.me.uk avatar

@quixoticgeek It isn't great is it...

...I certainly don't feel there is much confidence in Boeing right now if you're a passenger.

I didn't ask to play 'which part will my flight lose' roulette when I bought the ticket.

Why is IT so bloody boring these days.

So many tedious and boring processes that have very little benefit but are increasingly arduous and require following a billion steps to do something you used to get done in a few seconds.

Great thread I just read…

Original question was: “has anyone else noticed a massive rise in the number of potholes on the road?”

One reply is: “has anyone noticed the decreasing amount of road around potholes?”

This is the bit that makes the internet great.

@evilcookies98 not personally. Last time I checked in with a blind chap he still swears by the iPhone got accessibility though

@evilcookies98 😢

In what way?

VModifiedMind,
@VModifiedMind@know.me.uk avatar

@evilcookies98 That's a real shame. Apple seemed to be interested in accessibility issues once.
