That was dolphins, sorry!

"Game Of Tits" we call it 'round here

My 2013 BMW 1 Series has almost no annoying nags - they're nearly all useful e.g. the boot (trunk) is open when you're driving, etc.

BUT it bings to tell me that it's 3 degrees C outside. I don't care about that - tell me when it's below zero, so I can be more careful. That bing can't be turned off.
And when I spring the catch to open the bonnet (hood if you like), it bings to let me know the bonnet is open. I mean, I know, I just did it!

If companies use year numbers for versions, you end up in a situation like mine where you are upgrading to *cough* SQL Server 2022 and it's already 2025, which I find personally embarrassing explaining to users :-)

(Work for a large financial institution that takes a while to certify "new" versions for production use)

I mean, that's very funny and all that, but it is another unintentional example of America-centricism on Slashdot. Try and deport me if you like, I don't live in the States!
And I'd live to come and visit again, but not while you're holding/deporting people for what's on their phone... Or maybe what they've posted as Anonymous Coward!

"revert" argh

Piss IN it, if I remember the smell of a phone box from my youth...

My old SE died just before christmas (the battery would often drain to 1% straight away after unplugging from the charger, so it made it rather unreliable).

When I went into the second-hand phone shop, they looked at it like it was some sort of artefact, and when I asked for the smallest iPhone they had, I got looked at like an artefact!

Phones nowadays have become ridiculously big. If you don't live your whole life on it / run your influencing business from it, there's really no need for them to be so big - they don't fit as easily into a pocket, etc.

I ended up with a second-hand 13 Mini, which is only a bit bigger, but feels a lot larger in the hand. There's much more screen space than the old SE, though, which is nice!

Remember the days when they were just getting smaller and smaller? Zoolander was pointing the way!

But the eggs you get are vastly superior to most shop-bought ones?

Where I worked in the late 90s, they had a policy of bringing in excellent programmers on managerial salaries. That way, the programmers could go beyond a normal programming salary without having to do managerial work, which they were no good at or had no interest in. And the company gained by having a load of experienced excellent programmers doing actual programming.
That was the 90s though, when there was more money in my industry (finance, if you want to know).

I'd just add Slow Horses to this. I'm waiting until I have a little gap in my schedule to re-subscribe, watch that, then dump Apple TV again!

Nom nom

Thank you, I'm here all week, please tip your waitress, etc...

Thank you for summing up why I (a massive Eno fan) probably won't bother with this.
