@m13v_ I'm not really sure what you mean.

After 20 years on WordPress, I rebuilt my site with Laravel recently. I'm super happy with the transition. Full story: https://t.co/XnxQiKqPM2

@dannyvankooten That's a heck of a nice looking pizza you made there!

@dannyvankooten I've been wondering about upgrading this. I've always thought of implementing some sort of containerised system to install the real WP. But I'm now wondering if it might be fairly easy to get an AI bot to keep doing the manual slog of generating simplified HTML versions.

@F1HardWalls4K Verstappen, but like most sports, it's not a fair comparison. Things improve over time, and perhaps if Senna was born when Max was born, then he would be better.

I’ve dealt with Dell on 3 continents over 20 years with mixed success. Dell Germany has officially reached "Administrative Deadlock" for me. Full info here: https://t.co/JEqi600NwV. @DellCares @DellHilft

@DellCares I sent a DM yesterday, but the situation is worse now. After failing to pick up my computer, I’m told it must now enter a "system" for 2–3 days before I can even return it. This is utterly insane. Your system is fundamentally broken. Fix this.

[Ryan Hellyer 💙🇺🇦💛 @ryanhellyer]

@DellCares Are you able to help at all? This is disgusting customer service.

[Ryan Hellyer 💙🇺🇦💛 @ryanhellyer]

@DellCares I stuck my last three years of Dell support chats into an LLM and it basically said "WTF? That's messed up" (paraphrased) #Dell #XPS

[Ryan Hellyer 💙🇺🇦💛 @ryanhellyer]

@DellCares re: your DM. Obviously email support is failing. They're literally refusing to even order parts that I need, because of an internal Dell logistics issue, which will presumably cause the repair to take even longer (if it ever happens). This is ridiculous. #Dell

@eddieisamonk @GMIgorSmirnov Thanks! I was totally stumped on that.

[Ryan Hellyer 💙🇺🇦💛 @ryanhellyer]

@HansMokeNiemann To be fair, you did cheat. There are ramifications for such things, and people not trusting you and treating you as a cheat, is an eternal ramification you will need to deal with for the rest of your life.

.@DellCares I contacted you for assistance, not to be told everything is fine. Everything is NOT fine. You are refusing to honor my warranty due to a "system hold" caused by YOUR failure to collect a unit for 1,068 days. Fix the administrative deadlock. #Dell #XPS

[Ryan Hellyer 💙🇺🇦💛 @ryanhellyer]

.@DellCares AI analysis of my 3-year support history confirms a "total systemic collapse of Dell Premium Support." I am being unfairly penalized for a logistical failure lasting 1,068 days. Fix this. #Dell #XPS #DellSupport

@DellCares I’ve asked for the part numbers to fix it myself, since I assume Dell won't fix my computer. Your team has already diagnosed the power rail issue and discussed ordering parts, yet they are refusing to share those details with me. Can you help force them to assist me? Thanks.

[Ryan Hellyer 💙🇺🇦💛 @ryanhellyer]

@DellCares I've removed the case number now.

[Ryan Hellyer 💙🇺🇦💛 @ryanhellyer]

@DellCares . @DellCares
I’ve been waiting 1,068 days for a pickup scheduled in 2023. Now Dell is REFUSING to repair my current XPS until the old one is collected! This is a total deadlock caused by your own logistics. Fix this today please. #DellSupport #CustomerService
