It's probably worth considering social media to be like a metropolis. If the authorities said "it's too hard to deal with crime and anti-social behaviour, everyone should just get along together, neighbours can sort out their own disputes", the world would be in chaos.

@IntelUK It seems like every 10 days I get a new driver update for my bluetooth and WiFi which shows commitment, but release notes that say practically nothing don't encourage me. The previous WiFi update was for "regulatory information for India", not really relevant for me.

Given that RPI/CPI includes broadband prices as a component of calculations, it's important that ISPs don't increase their prices by any consumer inflation index. Otherwise it's a circular upward spiral. @Ofcom @CMAgovUK

Virgin Media ❤️@virginmedia

The price rise you’re seeing isn’t based on the current inflation rate. It was part of the old annual RPI + 3.9% model, which meant bills increased each year by inflation plus an additional percentage. However, as advised by Ofcom, we’ve now changed this system. We no longer increase bills by a percentage of your plan. Instead, future changes will be done as a fixed amount in pounds, making it clearer, more predictable, and easier to understand.

@Google you might want to check how you word your ads for @GoogleAI You could be done for false advertising: you're advertising £9.49 for 12 months, instead of £9.49 per month.

@Patrick1Kennedy I just shared the GB10 AI ROI video with my colleagues. And I quote: "Warning to anyone watching this video. The presenter's transmit speed is set to 'maximum line rate', so you can't listen to this passively. "

@samlambert @eddychik I tried to spin up an tiny instance. The instance was so slow that I couldn't update using yum. I shut down the instance and didn't bother further.

Watching "Burton and Taylor" on @BBCiPlayer some of the audio/ADR is dubious. Distracting.

@LenSeaside @AircraftYTube Or it's the fact that the rear gear got snagged on the net/fence. Take another look, you can see it.

@AircraftYTube The half of the rotors fanning over the deck will be producing a very different force to the half fanning over the sea resulting in a twisting force applied to the helicopter.

@outsidetheboxNL @AWeather33 @AircraftYTube Watch the video again, the rear landing gear gets tangled in the fence/net frame on the edge. Nothing so complicated.

@ZacksJerryRig One of the things I find frustrating is that Americans think we in the UK don't have private health insurance or private hospitals. 7.8mil of us have private health insurance. Mine costs me about $40/mo. No exclusions for pre-existing conditions, small co-pays.

Part of the reason the wheelchairs I build are so cheap is because we completely cut out insurance and the middlemen which *instantly* brought the price down from about ~$7,000 to just $999. A customer told me they paid $12,000 dollars for their first manual wheelchair a year ago - and were ecstatic to get nearly the same thing from us for only $1,200. Give our configurator a try and see how easy it is for yourself: NotaWheelchair.com

#SiPearl wants to be a European sovereign chip company making chips for HPC. Embarrassing that their chairman refers to the ZX Spectrum and C64 as European processors? And overlooking the Acorn CPUs which lead to ARM, and the INMOS Transputer in the 90s. eetimes.com/sipearl-tapes-…

@SamNewby_ @LuxVeritasAeter If code/data spends more time being read by computers than humans, then that data shouldn't be optimised to be human readable. It's lazy coding to ignore compute efficiency because it's inconvenient. Not saying Toon is good, but JSON is not a good data store it's just abused JS.
