This is a very long shot but...

My phone broke over the weekend and I've completely lost access to my Instagram account due to two-factor authentication.

Is there any way to get around this? I don't think Instagram have a support team??

An ex-colleague always wanted to enter GBBO, but never could because a family member worked for the BBC at the time.

So, just to summarise:

Baking battenberg on national television = Restrictions.

Getting a job leading a critical government department = no restrictions.

Imagine signing for spurs after watching this game.

Hi @Se_Railway do you have any plans to introduce a “scratchcard” style season ticket for workers returning to their offices part time?

My current options are:

£600 per month for a monthly ticket (which will be used 4-8 days per month)

£75 per day for a return

No surprise @SkyUK is the best for broadband complaints, as no doubt you receive the most.

Dishing out 700kbps and unbelievably actually charging people for it.

Is there a team at Google responsible for Hangouts, and have they ever tried to schedule a hangout?

@gofftony Haha excel on 40in sounds like a whole new exciting world to discover.

Can anyone make a recommendation for a new monitor? My head will explode if I have to read another review.

- 27 inch

- PS4 and use as a second screen

- Not crazy expensive (£2-350)

Helping a growth business connect with Senior Product Designers based in North America or Canada.

They’re specifically looking to connect with contractors, so if you have any recommendations please let me know 🙏

Who knew that buying a desk would prove so difficult.

They’re either awful and cheap, or nice and super expensive.

A sensibly priced, slim desk is all I need.

The BBC:

“How can we easily communicate what 2 metres looks like to the British public?”

Designer:

Is that it?

I’m just a person

Standing in front of the British public

Asking them to please try and understand what the arrows on supermarket floors mean

@kevhealy_tw Wait, how do you know that I LOVE improvised dance?

I have seen a load of portfolios this week on Figma and Invision.

Really horrible to navigate as a portfolio.

[Toby Thwaites @Toby__Thwaites]

@NickClement No context to anything, just a load of screens to repeatedly zoom in and out of.

I’m also not a designer (along with a decent % of hiring managers) so navigating a tool I don’t know how to use isn’t ideal either.

[Toby Thwaites @Toby__Thwaites]

@gofftony Amazingly yes

@ye_gif It’s one of the reasons I’ve started enjoying twitter less and less for sure.

I’d like the option to not show any likes in my feed.

[Toby Thwaites @Toby__Thwaites]

I signed up to Twitter so I could see the posts from the people I chose to follow.

90% of my timeline is now:

- Retweets

- Likes

- Thread responses from people I don’t know (and judging by their responses don’t want to know)

Me: I don’t like mint chocolate

Twitter user: What is your source???Any evidence to support this???
