@elonmusk @Starlink @SpaceX and @elonmusk please could you explain how one can turn off the internet because a government asked you to and support free speech without contradicting yourselves?

[Mike McDonald @ZimbabweMike]

@jamiejones85 @lilygo9 That looks awesome and I might give it a go porting it over to this device sometime. It is still pretty affordable and comes with the CAN and large range PS too

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene.

The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina.

SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis.

Hi @RevolutApp, we are now on day 3 of waiting for my salary to arrive.

Seeing as it was sent from Revolut Business to Revolut personal I was expecting the "instant" payment not the disappearing payment.

Additionally 24/7 support includes weekends if you had forgotten.

@hermux Almost as if the tables turned

[Mike McDonald @ZimbabweMike]

@hermux I've had a few pixels in SA and Zim and they don't particularly like heat and get a bit toastie. Still love them though and the opportunity of having the level of AI in the pixel 8 that could work well and be awesome sounds a lot more fun than stable Apple iOS perfection.

@callumurray1 Well done Callum and the team! Great work

@theCIPC The platform is still down, please can you provide an estimate when it will be back online?

[Mike McDonald @ZimbabweMike]

@tedskyba Hi Ted, I'm sorry for your struggles but will admit that your data and analysis is great.

Just a quick one I thought of but maybe get in touch with these guys if you would be interested in getting into another startup https://t.co/8m4QcJDVsP

[Mike McDonald @ZimbabweMike]

The rest of the @Makro_SA team seem determined to either pretend they dont exist or just act as if I am inconveniencing them by giving them a job to do.

Simple answer is to just not give anyone at Makro any more business it seems.

[Mike McDonald @ZimbabweMike]

@Makro_SA I'm having a terrific experience with your call centre so maybe this will be better.

My package was scheduled for delivery on Saturday. Then it just didn't arrive so I called on Sunday and confirmed the only day I could take off of Wednesday.

Simple process,

[Mike McDonald @ZimbabweMike]

So now the recommendation is to take another day off work and wait at home for a package that will likely not be delivered that day either.

Two of your call attendants actually tried to help and yet were totally unable to offer any help due to their colleague inaptitude

A pretty amazing example of how AI tools have actually become simple to use for amazing results!

@elonmusk Particularly when it comes to large enterprises with little public accountability.

Thanks for staying in touch with the energy situation in SA!
