@sainsburys Thanks Ryan, I tried to call the store but the automated answer service didn't understand my question and ended the call. Not great TBH. Is there a way to bypass this service and talk to a human on site?

[Malcolm @Malcolm1001]

@sainsburys I dropped by your Cambridge store (Brooks road) this morning and it was closed due to a power cut. Is there a way I can find out when it reopens?

@firstdrafthell @EdvinSladic Can you use a workflow command in your script to set a variable that you can then use in the YAML? (We've done this sort of thing in Azure Pipelines but not tried it in github so this is a guess I'm afraid).

@KarenPayneMVP Have also seen something similar recently when switching branches or updating to a commit with new nuget dependency. Contents of nuget package gets restored to the project folder - probably by the background restore?

[Malcolm @Malcolm1001]

@chabotc @shanselman VS Code (via omnisharp or the C# Dev Kit) or JetBrains Rider are the alternatives I know of.

@firstdrafthell There are some question marks over the reliability of the 990 Pro https://t.co/WKMketxold

@JenMsft Every time I fumble the keyboard and press Ctrl + C instead of Ctrl + V and overwrite the clipboard instead of pasting. Which is depressingly often!

[Malcolm @Malcolm1001]

@JenMsft I really like the trend on modern games where you can change the difficultly at any time - always frustrating to get stuck at some difficulty spike.

[Malcolm @Malcolm1001]

@BrewBoard Awesome, thanks! 🍻

[Malcolm @Malcolm1001]

@BrewBoard is your Green St taproom going to be open this week? Just dropped by but it's closed at the moment.

@Captain2Phones I've always thought that these high end smart watches would be much more appealing if you knew that you would be able to upgrade the guts a fews years down the line. Or maybe I'm just not rich enough.

@tomwarren Came to the first one late after writing it off as an RTX tech demo. Couldn't have been more wrong, and it lives in my pantheon of all-time greats now.

@jensc @tomwarren @browsercompany Judging by their job listings the actual browser engine seems to chromium.

@tomwarren It's got to be this one:

This is a misleading visualisation - the bar lengths are normalised down the columns but not across the rows. See how 25p oct21 elec standing charge is the same size as 45p charges in apr22 and oct22

@BloombergUK @irinaanghel12 @_jsdiamond Remember: there is no upper limit on what you can be charged. The £2,500 "cap" is just a guideline figure for a typical household.

The real cap is on unit rates -- the price your supplier can charge you per unit of power or gas you use

Here's a breakdown

@jkbckr @robbeectweets @reckless @verge Browsers make extensive use of hardware acceleration features for performance/efficiency. If there's a bug in the display driver it could crash when a very specific set of conditions are met. Windows handles the driver crash by restarting the display subsystem as seen here.

[Malcolm @Malcolm1001]

@tomwarren It's pricey, but a much smaller galaxy fold 4 starts at, what, $1800? Is this just reflecting the cost of the bendy screen tech?

[Malcolm @Malcolm1001]

@LEGO_Group Has anyone informed @ProfBrianCox yet?
