Echo Dot

The level 1 agents are always useless.

I don’t know a single call centre where the level 2 agents don’t constantly complain about the utter incompetence of the level 1 agents, who appear to have never even used a mouse before.

They escalate tickets such as “the users screen is upside down”, and “callers operating system has changed to papyrus needs to be changed back”. Things that could have been fixed by both the first line service agent, and the caller, if either of them had bothered to do a 4 second Google search.

Hello my account is locked out.

*Checks the account, last login was 45 days ago

Oh I see here that your last login was quite a while ago so your account has probably been disabled due to inactivity you should have received some emails about that.

Oh, I don’t read emails you should have messaged me on teams.

*Bangs head on desk

It’s an automated system, we don’t know your account is going to get locked out. There are 5,000 people at this company, no one’s going to take the time to explicitly contact you. Read your damn emails.

Honestly you will. You probably never compared the two side by side.

It’s incredibly apparent, you think it’s smooth but then when you go over to 120 Hz and then go back the difference is very apparent.

I have an fairly high end TV and honestly I don’t know what the point is because there is virtually no content that’s available for it.

Pretty much none of the streaming services go beyond 4K and often they’re at 1080p and I have to upscale to 4K. Consoles also don’t go above that 4k and again often in fact don’t even hit that.

I don’t know who you’re calling an idiot back in the early 2000s I had a phone that died because it got rained on. Not even a lot of rain.

Waterproofing is necessary just generally. Even if you assume it’s never going to get dropped in a puddle it needs to be splash proof at least.

I’ve said this before but if Apple really cared about their users then the iPad Pro would essentially just be a touchscreen laptop. It has the hardware to run a full-on operating system, but they keep it locked to iOS so they can sell you apps via the lockdown ecosystem.

It’s been a while since I used Mac OS but I remember it was quite janky even around 2020.

And of course the whole liquid glass thing is just bonkersly stupid. Vista did it years ago and it was terrible back then because it just made the UI hard to see. I’m not interested in how clever it is.

With how Microsoft are handling updates lately, no longer getting them might actually be a selling point

I say we should make the new world default currency the Danish Krone, lets really stick the knife in

See we keep getting told that AI is a great success and also a threat to humanity and that it’s going to take over the world in 5 minutes if we’re not careful. It has been literally years now and nothing has happened.

If that isn’t evidence of a bubble I don’t know what is. But somehow the complete lack of any meaningful progress seems to convince people even more

Yeah I’m sure we’re all in line for a huge payout. lawsuits like this are never actually about the people they claim were harmed, it’s always about a law firm getting a big cash payout and the people they supposedly represent get sod all.

He probably think he was doing it himself. Old mushy brain that he is.

You just believe the haters because you have confirmation bias.

Well if by that you mean I’ve used it and it’s crap, then yeah, I’ve confirmed it.

Why are you going around telling everybody?

What, the movie about emoji?

God knows, honestly it could be anything. I think it’s one of the X-Men films.

I’m worried about what genitals your friend is looking at. Whoever they are they need to go and see a doctor

I’m sure that’s the vision but I’m not entirely sure that Elon Musk is the man to bring it about.

He’s only got security clearance because he’s a Nazi. A normal person would have been denied it.

Just don’t have interest but who exactly is the optimist robot marketed at? Like we all know that it doesn’t work without remote control so who’s gonna buy it.

The thing is Google was already pretty good at that before things like chat GPT came out.

I remember many years ago I searched for “that movie where they steal a painting by changing the temperature” and Google got it on the first hit. That was way before AI.
