Is this the same as plugging an extension cable into itself to get free and unlimited electricity?

One, two, three, four, let me hear you scream if you want some more

Push it, push it, watch me work it, I’m perfect

Underrated banger.

I don’t miss the tool, I miss the general vibe and feeling of the late 90s or early 2000s.

CD’s for everything, over engineered autorun splash screens, the seeking of mechanical harddrive heads when computing a route, the sense of adventure, and the general positive outlook that consumer tech is working for us, not because of us.

I miss those days.

I miss the days of Microsoft AutoRoute. No internet connection needed - but you were stuck with the map and routes present in the release version that was on the CD.

Printing was optional and encouraged!

That’s not the problematic metric though. It’s the 70-80% (link) install base of the Windows OS on desktop computers that Edge is installed with that’s the basis of the anti-competitive allegation.

The fact that it still only takes 5% of the browser usage is more of a happy accident.

This is how you get shot for the silliest of reasons.

Unless it’s the initial outreach team or on-premises staff, sales would be one of the few roles totally suited to remote working.

Some of the more creative or collaborative roles I can see the argument for hybrid working - even if it’s just one day a week or month in the office - but sales, customer service, or first line support seems to be the last area you’d impose a return to work mandate on.

That said, I haven’t got extortionate office rents to justify 😂

I should check usernames.more

Man I haven’t been keeping up with the remakes. Is that Adam Jensen or Albert Wesker?

Goatse.

Every time.

The laugh is, each and every one of them can actually mean “mate what a fantastic idea, let’s absolutely smash this” to the middle ground “k” all the way through to “this is the worst fucking idea I’ve ever heard, but no dramas we can sort that on the way”.

The end result will be the same.

Do a credit card next!

Mater’s Tall Tales were absolute bangers. Not only were they funny in their own right, but the background details and cameos were awesome.

Reminds me of the mid2000’s era of British journalist Gary Cutlack trying to post every instance of a spiral in the real world, linking it to the upcoming announcement of a Dreamcast 2.

I miss that sort of journalism.

Same as the Unihertz Titan. I ran with that for two years and it was decent, if underpowered.

The dream is all but dead for all fourteen and a half of us QWERTY phone enthusiasts I think. A surprising number went to the Samsung Galaxy Flip models, though having used this for two years or so, I wouldn’t recommend it either.

Maybe one day…

I’m all for bringing back National Service.

And by that, I mean that everyone should be required to work two weeks in a customer service environment - in a supermarket, in an inbound call centre, or in a coffee shop.

The basic level of communication skill and empathy I’ve learned there has set me up reasonably well in life - and it’s remarkable how far you get with another human on the other end of a phone or teller screen by just “playing the game”, “appreciating that there’s tickboxes needing to be checked” and “not being a cunt”.

I’m not saying the solution is perfect but fuck me, it would solve a lot of entitlement problems.

I would argue that there is indeed a whole lot of fun, and there may be prizes to be won.

I thought Gun Jesus was trying to pivot to other streaming platform for his main content, and YouTube was just a bit of extra exposure while it lasts?

I haven’t been keeping up with it so I may be 12 months behind the curve.

I dunno man. I quite enjoy watching documentaries on how the bangbang sticks go bang, and how engineers overcame technical challenges.

I’m not a huge fan of Gravy Seals videos of people doing weird cover to cover movement and blatting off rounds at targets, but each to their own.

I guess I think there’s bigger problems faced by YouTube and this should be pretty far down the list.
