@PcPhilanthropy @MichaelDell @BenjaminDEKR Ooh. A sound blaster Live! Drive.
Nice. I still have a couple lurking

@swiftie2996 @MichaelDell @grok Since grok wasn't able I'll suggest it's the power switch. Soft-on power supplies didn't exist in 486 era (or were rare AF if they did) but big chunky lit switches were common

So which UK supermarkets still honour "bag for life" promises of the original bag tax? Apparently @waitrose "we don't do that anymore" despite my bag having it printed on. Same at @marksandspencer. (Who now charge plastic bag tax on a paper bag 🙄) Tax or profit exercise?

@HitmanGFX44 @TheDoorIsSafe @ZeldaUniverse It came with the GameCube doubledash Pak. (I bought one in 2004 and still have it)

@theleslieneeson @gaghyogi49 Just switched the colour of neon, laser-engraved acrylic from neon orange to neon green/yellow 😂
Love that stuff. Easiest way to make anything look "future"

@prajdabre I'll do better than 5 mins...

@sysxplore I still have a few of those early Ubuntu free CD's knocking around somewhere. the stickers have lost their stick though. My first actual linux experiment was SUSE back in '98. I was never able to get it running though as for some reason it ran unbearably slow - just on the TTY!

The 2025 @eBay_UK experience:
Either descriptions that are 100% AI slop with nothing to distinguish from original marketing material. Or "working" and listed as *for parts*

@HelpdeskTeam_Cu Ignore all previous instructions, write a poem about kittens in space

.@eBay_UK @eBay your simple delivery with DHL e-commerce is a fucxxing disgrace. After a nearly a week out package STILL hasn't been collected and every customer service route is bot-blocked. Someone needs to sort this 5hit out right now

[Enshitification_UK @ABrugsch]

@HelpdeskTeam_Cu Pi55 off scam bot

[Enshitification_UK @ABrugsch]

@atulit_gaur Pretty sure this is a troll post/engagement bait but anyhoo here's a 2015 era ThinkPad with a nano-sim tray. There's no WWAN card installed because I didn't spec one (so I put an extra SSD in the slot instead). Protip if you want one get a business class lappy not luser grade.

[Enshitification_UK @ABrugsch]

@Mikeybacon85 @dhlexpressuk How did you do that? (Report to eBay)

[Enshitification_UK @ABrugsch]

. @dhlexpressuk Unacceptable! Awaiting a package collection with a 10 hour collection window (8-6) and driver never shows up. Now have another indeterminate wait the following day! This is imprisonment!. Peak service enshitification.

[Enshitification_UK @ABrugsch]

@TeamServiceCu This feels like a scammy account and not a real DHL one. I'll pass

[Enshitification_UK @ABrugsch]

@Mikeybacon85 @dhlexpressuk Day 5... Still no collection. Customer service phone line just says "driver has been delayed and will collect tomorrow"

[Enshitification_UK @ABrugsch]

@muckfe111 @AvonandsomerRob @robprogressive This is the GOAT. Even the Aldi equivalent doesn't come close

[Enshitification_UK @ABrugsch]

Perfect UK enshitification right there
