@currys is there a national problem with your stores currently queuing to pay with lots of other people but no one seems to know why

@JBGill was cheated on #houseofgames it has a cross-head screwdriver bit mounted in the chuck, so it is clearly a "Cordless Screwdriver".

All that is left from my awesome Christmas present is the cardboard @littlebbakery

@Rita_chen28 Lovely graphic. Why not upgrade the terminology, the electronics industry is trying to move away from master/slave in favour of controller/peripheral. Most SPI products now refer to CIPO/COPI rather than MISO/MOSI. The I3C specification V1.1.1. adopted this change.

@thdxr I may biased, as I have a “senior staff” prefix on my job title, however, I’ll bite.

I rarely use my full jib title and I personally think job titles have limited value beyond initial introductions when the roles in a team need to be summarised.

What does the title mean to you?

Ready to see @omid9 Namaste tour for the second time. The Iranians are out in force tonight, they didn't bother with warm up show in Fareham.

@RealMattCouch I am old enough that that there was no GUI or floppy drive (certainly not a CD). You don’t know patience until you have typed in code from a magazine for a game and lost it when the power failed.

@Porsche No Porsche, I would be disgraced to be seen drive one.

@LuftkoppTim Most touch screen use two states. When there is no touch present it runs simple measurement only capable of detecting a touch. Once a touch is detected the full spatial measurement state (sensing mutual and self capacitance) is used. The power difference between can be 10:1.

@Shefali__J Acorn MOS 32KB of RAM and everything had to be loaded/saved to tape.

@maietta Upto my neck in tech but I have never watched Anime.

Thank you to @PowderMonkeyTap for generously offering refreshments to the @repaircafegosp team today.

Why do I have to spend an hour deleting apps and reinstalling them to do the security update my @Apple iPad but my Android phone just works.

@Divergent7651 I did most of the travel in my 20’s on my employer, get a job as as a B2B AE and see the world on expenses.
