British, often in Asia. Consultant either between contracts or retired depending on whether I get another contract. Mostly shouting at clouds.

@DigitalEU Use of "scroll off screen" to discover you're subscribed to data sharing features? - favourite of Microsoft and Google. Use of large font for vendor preferred option. Hobsons skim - every app, or OS vendor apps "only" - but no dont share? - and counterintuitive "on to stop"

@PICOXR 3 every time - one button center and instantly into the best application, not hours getting seasick and running the battery down trying to figure out setup, orientation, recenter. I almost gave up until I found Pistol Whip. Also local opticians in place for eye correction.

@cremieuxrecueil Hard to break out one factor - 1960s cars were basically death traps, roads were awful, signage etc. What I remember is a significant narrative shift. Went from unlucky if got caught and drinking driving anecdotes being hilarious, shifting to a status of social pariah.

@todayyearsold As a 25+ year renter only seen one oven. Rental owners hate ovens. Tenants never take care of them. Hob, microwave and air fryer. Also single portions just faster and easier in an air fryer. I miss legs of lamb though.

@business It was always a non-profit. "23andMe shareholders experienced a devastating 99% loss in their investments" DNA testing is an area where AI probability and pattern seeking might really be useful, but not in the current fragmented silos. The industry badly needs consolidation.

@tomshardware Mobile and VR SOC throughput, and dropoff with distance made WiFi 7 pointless in my environment. Impressive connection speed if you put the device on top of the router but less than 6E throughput. So what's the point of WiFi 8?

@PravitR Last week in Laos I saw significantly less double trucks on the Savannakhet - Xeno - Pakse road than 6 months ago. Has the Thai-Cambodia border reopened for goods traffic? Also they're clearly constructing a toll plaza on that route so an example of "closing the stable door"?

@dnystedt 1st quarter 2027?

@KR3Wmatic Apparently yes.

@charlesmurray How many generations did parents support adult children? I'm currently in rural Laos which has seen a collapse in childbirth, unsustainable smallholdings, education of girls, electricity, phones, across two generations. The expectation is still very much kids support the parents.

@TheRestHistory Don't know if this is you or @RestIsPolitics but someone should do an hour on what the hell was happening and why in 1951 - a year I'd never heard of before today. 83% turnout.

@engineers_feed AI: Whatever it was trained to be, filtered through current culturally accepted criteria OR whatever a couple of Reddit posts and "copy paste repeat" marketing BS across social media and shopping sites says it is. But expressed with confidence and certainty either way.

@KhaosodEnglish So the latest Grab advert that features a kid stuffing its face with every junk food type possible is in alignment with this ?

@StevenLevy Has mobile technology plateaued?Phones, cameras, laptops, VR headsets. Offloading to data centers will help cover up for some applications, optimising for battery life and more cores others, but silicon refuses to go any faster without catching fire or rapidly degrading..

@engineers_feed Superstition.

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Maybe - but he'll be gone in a couple of years and the US will still have a military, tech and oil. Your Labour Conservative legacy is the UK doesn't. And now we're headed for the joys of multi-party first past the post, perhaps the least representative form of democracy.
