The reason IT support people are so bitter is that YOU (I mean YOU) cannot rationally describe the problem:

You: The Internet is down
IT: How do you know the Internet is down?
You: I can't get email.
IT: Is it possible that the email servers are down and the Internet is working just fine? Can you visit Twitter on your browser?
You: Yes, I can visit the twitter website.
IT: Is there any reason other than email to believe the Internet is down?
You: The last time I couldn't get email it was because the Internet was down.

The fact that IT doesn't call you a blithering idiot on every support call demonstrates saintly restraint, even if a little bit of their frustration leaks through.

Apple thinks of everything in terms of Apple Vision Pro accessories. Meta wouldn’t have ever even thought of this.

On this Breakaway day, our thoughts are with Commander John Koenig's teams on Moonbase Alpha.

It was already 24 years ago today that the moon left Earth's orbit, taking with it the last Eagles yet to explode....

It was Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Space: 1999 (1975-1977).
