The Phoenix Microtronic is an ATmega644P-20U-based emulator that lets you experience the original 1981 Busch Microtronic Computer System in an as-authentic-as-possible way. https://t.co/4Jinf6v6gh

Very disappointed with @AmazonUK. Recently they've sent me the wrong item, a package missing an item, and now they refuse to refund my @AmexUK for an unopened item that I returned as instructed! 😠

So much for @JeffBezos vision of "Earth's most customer-centric company"

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

@iamevn @TechConnectify @zephyronalpha As a researcher, and fellow former Googler, I am not surprised that this was driven by metrics. It empirically works to get more clicks. Google's ad differentiation strategy was the focus of my research in the early 2010s. I published a paper on it in 2015 https://t.co/SEuISJY6kk

@Dev14e For a couple of years, London's Tramlink had a station called "IKEA Ampere Way". Though, in this case, it was to promote the IKEA store served by that stop - so passengers may well have been going to IKEA. https://t.co/I3lDVf8oVC

@cfiesler My exact thoughts when I saw this tweet.

[Dr Jason Jacques @jtjacques]

@TechConnectify ... but it is a prerequisite to a more chipper task.

[Dr Jason Jacques @jtjacques]

@cfiesler Unsurprisingly, pretty dead on this side of the pond. Was a little puzzled at the Top and Hot categories at first, but it seems that "Nationwide" means "Global," at least for the time being. The headline nationwide yaks seem fairly tame though?

@emax A hot water pump is an option if you don't want to be replacing the whole system. https://t.co/74mLan3YC0

@aquigley @mpesce Mine is classic @NHS Blue.

@TechConnectify I had a similar self realisation not so long ago. I suspect economic and social background may factor in here strongly.

When I was younger I didn't mind using repurposed or low quality tools. It actually fed my creative process. But, as I age, I increasingly value good quality, special purpose equipment.

For example: a microplane citrus zester v. a box grater. There is just no comparison. 🍋 🧁

I love @ABBA as much as the next guy, but it's midnight on a school night and my neighbours have just started blasting Mamma Mia, oh and now Dancing Queen, at maximum volume... and we've just started Waterloo.

Sadly, "unlisted" @YouTube videos uploaded before 2017 become private on the 23rd July. As such, shared links and embedded players will cease to work.

With this change huge swaths of ethereal internet history will simply disappear.

@ewebber I apparently hit 13 years the other day. I think it was you who got me to sign up!

[Dr Jason Jacques @jtjacques]

Final call for my European friends. Don't fall between the cracks. Deadline: 30th June 2021. 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #EU #SettlementScheme

@TechConnectify I was about to take a swipe at you as that this seemed rather off-piste. You live in an apartment complex, right? But then it hit me right in the ribs: another pun.

Foiled again.

@williamwardley @PetrovaGergana @BriacRv @Siobhain_Mc @OfficialTmufc Well, those short intervals are exceptional. Page 15 highlights good evidence of higher clinical protection at 8 weeks for AstraZeneca. For others, an increased delay of between 4 and 12 weeks allows more people to benefit from the protection of a first dose.
