@we_are_sungod was getting good comms from CS on a warranty claim but they’ve dropped off the face of the earth for 1.5wks. Can anyone lend a hand?

@AsdaServiceTeam Are payments broken on your website at the moment? Takes ages to enumerate the card list then comes up with this. Not hitting Monzo / any other card for verification

@cambridgepunted @simonjdeakin @fesshole Most of our devs run Mac

@Davedibble1980 @ronaldigray @fesshole Person in the middle is the most wrong.

@SteveRams67 @Sandford_Police Isn't that car about £115k list?

[Ben @bdav]

@Duderichy I think the message is probably right from what I've heard, but this feels quite unusually written compared to what I've usually seen from Delloitte - "Everything is an emergency to the client which I don't find pressing" feels like a strange take, and possibly explains a bit

[Ben @bdav]

@quentynblog ever see any issues in your Conexis L1 tinkering of the whole thing going into a “tamper” mode / not accepting any current or new cards?

[Ben @bdav]

@madebygoogle any chance of updating the nest service status to reflect that cams are broken in Europe?

@nayf_cars @jamienewman @SteveFowler @Tesla @elonmusk They're not selling well in the UK compared to other markets - there are 90k teslas on the road in the UK total. Tesla sold 110k cars a month in 2022 in the US.

@1928White @ThreeUK I mean they're very cheap. I use them despite being the worst, but you kind of know that going into the bargain.

@robininohiousa @ThreeUK Stick in decent wifi and facilitate wifi calling!

[Ben @bdav]

@JitEspresso Its nothing to do with preference or privacy. Its all to do with not actually being able to distribute 85m texts on a network.

[Ben @bdav]

@JitEspresso @ThreeUK I think you may have misunderstood how text delivery works over cell. A text requires a communication out from an SMSC on network to each of 85m devices in UK. That brings networks down. This is "multicast" instead - which means something tells each cell site to ping every device

@MoneySavingExp There is little to no reason to receive paper statements.

[Ben @bdav]

@Michelle71966 @thetimes Will probably help them more when they need to do something practical in employment though. We’ve been putting the odd chatGPT generated paragraph in internal documentation to see if anyone picks up on it.

[Ben @bdav]

@MrDanielBro @anon_opin I get the feeling you’ve never driven a car with either. Try guessing where a UI control is on a touchscreen in a moving vehicle without looking.

[Ben @bdav]

@anon_opin The thing is, other people (pedestrians, other drivers…) exist regardless of your driving performance, and may or may not suffer the consequences of that performance. Also, I loooove pilot assist you can rip it from my dying hands.

[Ben @bdav]

@MSE_Deals “How to increase phone storage” - odd title. Maybe overly pedantic but you’re not increasing any storage. Just decreasing the junk using it.

[Ben @bdav]

@shawngorham I always assume those stupid “outdoor gyms” they put in are just mechanisms for backhanders to “contractors”. No one uses them.

[Ben @bdav]

@museumsound @msmarypoppers Ooh I remember those scroll pad things. They were a bit crunchy.
