@welovesurface We've got a Surface Hub 2S, but I'd like to buy my own stylus. What is the technology (EMR, UCI, something else?) of the stylus, and what's a cost-efficient stylus to buy? Would a Surface Laptop stylus work on the Surface Hub?

@Cambswater The FAQ clearly says that encrypted passwords were stored, if an online account had been used (I had one). Was that included in the data which was exfiltrated? If so, please get an software engineer to answer my original questions.

[Duncan Sample 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇫🇮 @dsample]

@Cambswater Your FAQ says the passwords you store are 'encrypted'. Could you please clarify whether they are encrypted or hashed, and to what algorithm was used?

@DonMacAskill @Flickr Yes please. If been thinking how I could use the API to say just that, but would love it to be built in. I've been a Pro for over a decade, so love Flickr.

Did they shut down the data archive creation service already? My request has been pending for days now. #twitter #GDPR #DSAR

[Duncan Sample 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇫🇮 @dsample]

So, this #twitter ordeal… anyone getting deja vu? An imperfect, but enjoyed social org, rich person takes over, cries 'free speech', sacks everyone, critics get banned, and everyone finds a new place to be. Oh, just me then #freenode #notagain

@HenriSchildt @teroterotero Twitter has my real IP on my main account. If I were to have another account they would have the IP of a VPN/TOR exit node. A government somewhere in the world will always have some reason to demand the info. Not having the info is the best way to not have to disclose the info.

[Duncan Sample 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇫🇮 @dsample]

@teroterotero Yep, craving it too. I can still remember the UX of Jaiku, it was glorious. After three Google acquisition many of them appear to have become VCs though.

@ravishanker_ Wasn't Path the one that only allowed you to follow about 50 people?

[Clinton Jeff @clintonjeff]

If anyone knows the OG Jaiku team, this would be a greaaaattt time for them to try to revive it, please

@BestForBritain @ShaileshVara you're my local MP. Have you learnt the difference between the UK and GB yet? Have you read the Good Friday Agreement in full yet? Do you understand the precarious predicament your Party has put us in yet? Are you ready to resign again yet?

@HM_Passport the email address linked to send feedback about the 1-week fast track booking system isn't valid, it just bounces.

@kicad_pcb Are you having trouble with your site? I'm having quite a hard time getting to it

[Duncan Sample 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇫🇮 @dsample]

@timesnewboman @ploopyco It's open source, so can be added. I've designed (but not manufactured) a couple of keyboard PCBs. Modifying the mouse PCB to add another scroll wheel shouldn't be too difficult.

[Duncan Sample 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇫🇮 @dsample]

@timesnewboman have you heard of the Ploopy mouse? I thought you might be interested in it, it might fulfill the criteria you mentioned in your latest video https://t.co/0t1q5zHGEM

It even uses the same firmware as mechanical keyboard, so it'll be customisable.

[Duncan Sample 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇫🇮 @dsample]

@timesnewboman At first glance I thought you were holding up a fish skeleton

Dear @BulbUK website ops team... scale up.

@pimoroni I ordered one of the rainbow lanyards because of the lovely wide-looking hook (with no swivel), but the one which was sent has the same end as the black version.
