@qikipedia @alandavies1 “The Factory of the Future 1.0 (FoF 1.0) can print objects 96ft (29m) long - approximately the length of a blue whale.” 🐳 #bluewhale https://t.co/KqBrovHWyC

@Mastown2 is https://t.co/fFPVhqe0Kw still working? Cant seem to load anything on my account.

@wcathcart @WhatsApp Sounds like the Pot calling the Kettle black.

@WhatsApp (@meta / @facebook, same thing), destroyed privacy as we knew it a long time ago. Tracking who is talking to whom, when, where, how often… collecting and using more data than the content of the messages themselves…

@daringfireball Reminded me of my favourite BBC chart from 2020 on fatal shark attacks here in Australia… can you spot what’s so funny about this one? @gruber

@robot_or_not great follow up episode. If you cut a hole in the side of a straw, it now has 3 holes. If you fold the straw’s end over (or seal one hole), it still has one hole… Straw has 2 holes makes perfect sense!

@robot_or_not “San Francisco to allow police 'killer robots'” - more accurately ‘killer remote controlled cars’… doesn’t sound as sexy.

@atpfm #askatp Tomorrow my Apple Watch Ultra arrives. Yay. I’m finally upgrading from a Series 2 still on WatchOS 6.3. What key features do you enjoy & use that have been added in WatchOS 7, 8 & 9? @caseyliss @marcoarment @siracusa

@siracusa Sony A95K finally arrived today, yay! Remember these straps on the box? @atpfm

[Phil Hirst @ph1rst]

All good now 👍🏼

@thetalkshow seems this week’s episode with @Moltz is (downloading as) actually last week’s episode. @gruber

[Phil Hirst @ph1rst]

@atpfm Thank you @siracusa for your Sony TV ethernet adapter advice. I too have been waiting many years for the same TV, but now hopefully only ~2 weeks away. I ordered that adapter within minutes of listening to your speed results…

[Phil Hirst @ph1rst]

@Telstra And let’s be clear this has happened many, many times. Not just once.

Feel free to review my message chat history from the last two years…

[Phil Hirst @ph1rst]

@Telstra Why is your customer support messaging app MyTelstra, literally the worst customer service experience I have ever encountered? Please go back to phone support. #telstra

[Phil Hirst @ph1rst]

@Telstra Then they say they will do something, follow it up, resolve it. But literally nothing happens. Then, (like my recent experience) I have to start the whole process again 6 weeks later…

[Phil Hirst @ph1rst]

@Telstra It’s not about wait times, it’s the whole experience.
You have to constantly sit on the message app, otherwise the issue is passed on to another support person. Then they do not read the conversation and you have to repeat everything. It can take a whole day to resolve something!

[Phil Hirst @ph1rst]

@Qantas is second place with their 2, 3, 4 or even 6 hour wait times on support calls. But at least you get to speak with someone - if you have the stamina to hold! #qantas
