@virginmedia

Hi, I have had broadband issues for a day (slow/no upload and packet loss)

When I call it says it’s a known issue, but the service status page doesn’t mention it.

I can’t use any video conferencing for my job, so I would like to know when it might be fixed by?

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

@virginmedia Yeah and multiple devices

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

@virginmedia Just says sorry after taking a few seconds to load

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

@virginmedia Yeah, the link to receive updates just says Sorry.

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

@virginmedia Hi, the link I was sent by the IVR doesn’t work 😬

The status page still says no broadband issues, but when you test the hub it says there are issues in the area.

Is there any other way I can get an estimate on the fix?

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

@virginmedia I noticed the BT Sports ones, I have none of them available.

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

@virginmedia I had an email saying my package had changed 2 days ago, but it hasn’t changed on my V6 Box?

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

@virginmedia Says it was Fun TV (L) and it’s now Maxit TV - Kids Pack

Anyone use GraphQL across a number of Microservices owned by different teams? If so did you do any form of federation or just the one GraphQL schema?

@acodeguy @optshiftk It was essentially the same as it is now, they were still in the sidebar on Xcode, just opening them launched interface builder.

Only real difference is you didnt have the assistant editor, so getting IBOutlet/IBAction to appear often needed a recompile … which quick with ObjC

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

@optshiftk @acodeguy Yeah its been merged for a decade now … which makes me feel real old.

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

@acodeguy It was a big deal when they merged it 😂

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

@lukeredpath @alding That’s what I was quoted when we enquired.

This looked interesting if you wanted an all in one solution https://t.co/v129U1d5s9

@macmade @NSExceptional Yeah, maybe it will be the one more thing at WWDC 😃

16GB of RAM in the new Macs seems tight as a maximum, especially in a Pro Laptop.

Also the Intel Mac Mini keeps the space grey colour, with the Apple Silicon Mac mini being available in Silver 😕

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

@boucher Really love is a bit strong 😂

If it was a $100 BTO I would 100% pay for it though, I really like having one as controversial as that is.

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

@sebskuse Prob feels better than the butterfly keyboard 😂

[Spencer MacDonald @ObjColumnist]

Also they mythical person that likes the Touch Bar ... that’s me 😂
