@OpenAI im starting to understand why other AI platforms are proving popular! Ask OpenAI to help develop a racing car and it will keep trying to re-invent the wheel! You'll have long productive run and then it sneaks in a square wheel when your backs turned!

@Google you have created a monster with #FamilyLink it is a cluster #### for multi national families, I can't use my workspace account, it's flawed when setting limits across multiple devices,.... it's almost comical how bad this is!

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

Is it just me or has @google #FamilyLink gone haywire! I have 2 children on my family link account and it's just threatened to close the Google account of one for not being old enough, but they're both managed by Family Link? Trying to revalidate supervision is proving a headache

@SimonCalder All additional flights were with Eurowings, and the same route LHR>STR
The flight on the 20th eventually arrived at STR >3hrs late....
To be honest my priority is to reclaim my additional costs, I can only assume a compensation claim will be an uphill battle?

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

Good morning @simoncalder have you any insight into dealing with the aftermath of the Crowdstrike chaos? I've incurred over £1000 of additional costs, but to date Eurowings haven't directly respoded to my claim, apart from a paragraph saying they won't pay compensation.

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

@SimonCalder My original Eurowings flight was on the morning ot the 19th.
The additional costs are: 1 booked flight with Eurowings on the evening of the 19th that was then cancelled by Eurowings, Overnight accommodation & taxis at LHR, and 1 x booked flight on the moring of the 20th

Someone missed the memo! "Sorry the @lufthansa lounge is closed due to #Covid" @eurowings at #Stuttgart

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

I'm checked in and I have baggage tags but the @eurowings compooter says 'no' at @HeathrowAirport , while for @lufthansa everything is working? #chaos

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

Apparently @eurowings have a worldwide systems failure, checkin/baggage drop chaos at @HeathrowAirport T2

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

@BBCNews Paula Vennells returning her honour is starting to look more like a desperate attempt to keep pension and stay out of jail?

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

@PostOffice a great company to do business with. Track&Trace has been like this all day....

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

#Drop&Go is a service offered by the @PostOffice for businesses sending parcels, good until u find u need 2 return to the post office to collect a hard copy of the receipt! No online option for printing the receipt & you can't collect when u make drop off! Digital age? not yet!

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

@ukhomeoffice usual chaos at LHR T2. Only one manual mmigration desk open! Wife stuck in massive Q with two small children(uk nationals)....! One hell of a way to promote the UK brand...

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

@HeathrowAirport EU parent with two small UK national children stuck in massive queue at T2 immigration, with one desk open! Way to go Heathrow....

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

@HeathrowAirport at T2 only one immigration desk open! And a big fancy board outside saying how happy everyone is! Usual bullshit

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

Currently in Northern Namibia with no mobile reception in sight. But this @Starlink from @SpaceX is outrageous!

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

@LeShuttle can some explain why you have delays but are only sending half full trains? We just had to wait 2hrs but the train in front that departed as we boarded was half empty....

[Miriam Margolyes OBE @MMargolyes]

Miriam on BBC Radio 4 this morning talking about #JeremyHunt…. Oops! We love you, MM.

[Oliver Ward @olly183]

So @lufthansa have got fed up with their passenger telling them where their lost bags are! And decided to ban @Apple #Airtags 😄 https://t.co/Cwo4InM202
