I've said it so many times before: do not localise or translate your content by throwing it into a LLM/MT without editing. @Microsoft @Xbox are still at it. This is extremely poor. Especially as it likely just went from en-US to en-GB. support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/har…

Oh great, you've thought of a sentence that uses every letter of the alphabet. Too bad it perpetuates harmful stereotypes about dogs and foxes. I hope it was worth it

Hello, we want to start by saying we’re very sorry for your loss. We use automated response templates for certain billing email notifications, and unfortunately this message was sent before the account records were fully updated on our end. It can take a little time for those changes to take effect fully. Since you mentioned that you recently spoke with our bereavement team and updated the account details, this should be reflected in any future communications. Once again, we sincerely apologise for the distress this message has caused.

Dear @virginmedia, I'm afraid I've been unable to revive my late mum to show her the bill you sent. She didn't 'decide to leave'. She died. I informed your bereavement team ~3m ago, returned her kit & you refunded me (as executor) overpayment. You emailed her directly TODAY: 1/

I got scammed in Austin After paying with Apple Pay for a drink, I saw the staff member add a $10 tip, sign as me and decline the receipt I confronted them in the moment but they denied it I am trying to get @Wise to investigate it, but they're asking for evidence, which I don't have What exactly can I do here? I don't care about the tip, and would've left one, I just cannot stand the dishonesty

Are you intentionally misunderstanding this situation? It is not two transactions. They show you the total, you scan, then immediately after there will be options for tipping and receipt before you sign. If you select tip it updates your total, then you sign and complete the transaction. In this case a scammer flipped it back as soon as the scam was complete and then they entered a tip, and forged a signature. The main issue here is that the scan shouldn’t happen until the tip flow is complete.

@glizzyrater @helloitsolly @Wise In the UK (and likely the rest of Europe) you absolutely cannot charge someone £10 with Apple Pay and then charge £10 again later without using the contactless again. The tip can only happen before the contactless payment, not after.

@4a6d65 @helloitsolly @Wise It’s the system the business pays for, most businesses use square or stripe platforms to run their transactions, there’s an optional screen for tip. it’s the same in any country that uses them, I’ve seen it all across Europe and North America too.

@helloitsolly @Wise That's a crazy system!? You can't do that here. You pay for the thing you're paying for and that's that.

@4a6d65 @Wise Yeah it's different in the US You authorise, then they (sometimes) switch to a screen which you tip and sign on

Do you understand the aura and skill it takes to order in French, in Paris, and have the waiter not immediately revert to English? This is like when Ronaldinho had the Bernabeu on its feet applauding him. Truly the greatest to ever do it.

I really love the source control feature in VS Code and Cursor but it's so slow and often just sits there doing nothing that it's ease of use is burdened by how often it just fails to work. Why does it just get stuck trying to commit 5 files in my small git repo?

So utterly depressing
Jordan Walker@JayW132

HS2. A masterclass in how Britain destroys money. The cost: • 2011: £32.7bn • 2013: £45bn • 2015: £55.7bn • 2019: up to £88bn • 2020: up to £106bn • 2026: up to £102.7bn… for a fraction of the original route What’s been cut along the way: • 2021: Eastern leg to Leeds: SCRAPPED • 2022: Golborne link to Scotland: SCRAPPED • 2023: Birmingham → Manchester leg: SCRAPPED • 2023: Crewe hub: SCRAPPED • Euston terminus: paused, downsized from 10 platforms to 6, now needs private finance Original plan: 11 cities, 340 miles, £32bn, open 2026. What we’re getting: 4 stations, 140 miles, £100bn+, open 2039. A national embarrassment, paid for by taxpayers.
