Simon Says...

isn't it weird how we say you "take the bus" when really the bus takes you

.@francispedraza (Founder, Invisible Technologies) thinks about competition like the Battle of Thermopylae. “Accenture may have a million people worldwide. But when the passage is narrow, headcount doesn’t matter. What matters is who holds the line. If our 300 Spartans are at the gate with superior tech, we win every time.”

.@Beer52HQ my father died from cancer a few months ago. I don't know how clear I can make it that I do not want your marketing any more. This is horrifically spammy.

.@ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport I tried to use my Three app and it told me I needed to re-register as you'd updated your systems. Why, then, do I get this? What an appalling customer experience.

So if I buy an extra seat to keep empty, that'll be next to me, but not if I buy one for my partner @Ryanair? Elbow room is worth more than a person? 😂

@SlackHQ Is it possible to search in only channels I have joined? I want to search across my entire team for a message I remember, but there's too much noise, and it would only have been in a channel I am still in.

If you're on that new alternative, please follow me! My @ is simonredwards (dot bsky dot social)

is it bad that I really want a mojo dojo casa house

Lady on your phone on the train, WHY IS IT ON SPEAKER

@NeilCocker Sounds very wholesome! 🤪

@NeilCocker How much are you looking to feed (e.g. snacks then a main, maybe a starter)? And should it include drinks? I did a dinner last week & think I spent just over a fiver/head: excluding drinks, I did a caprese salad then fake-meat fajitas (quorn mince & some kind of fake chicken).

@searchbound @jamesholephoto much nicer! 🤩

@simonRedwards this should be fixed now (thanks to help from @jamesholephoto).. see if so, Simon...

Bought an Insta360 X3 camera & captured several 360-degree photos during my Colorado dude ranch road trip a few weeks back.. slowly uploading them to Google Maps (& giving DudeRanch.com a small attribution):

First time I'd genuinely benefit from an airport lounge as flight out of Madeira is delayed, and the only @AmexUK lounge is closed 😑 @AskAmexUK

@RevolutApp I'm on Android.

@simonRedwards Could you please go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, find the Revolut app, tap on it, and then tap Offload App; and then try again? If this issue persists please send a DM, so we could look into this internally.

@RevolutApp why is my app saying it's out of date, when it's fully updated on the Play store? Updated 25th May?

@RevolutApp What do you need me to DM? I can tell you the app version publicly. It's 9.8.2, the latest available on the Play Store.

@simonRedwards Hey there! We are so sorry to hear that, could you please send us a DM to our inbox? We hope to get this sorted for you soon 🙏

.@ThreeUK my 5G home internet is failing to load most sites (including @SlackHQ and @figma), but my 5G phone is working fine. Is there an issue with the former?

@sainsburys Again; absolutely NO fault of the staff - they were helpful and apologetic despite being clearly stressed. Store was Canada Water in London.

@simonRedwards Hi Simon. I'm sorry for the lack of staff at the store. Can you confirm which store you visited? I'll feed this back for you. Shezad.

@sainsburys I really don't think a single staff member to cover ~10 self-service and all the served tills at once is adequate, do you? Just waited nearly 10 minutes to purchase caffeine through absolutely no fault of your overworked staff; you need to pay more of them!

@simonRedwards What was the product?

"Tips" when you start using a product should be limited to three. I promise you, when you take a user through 7 different "cool things" your app can do, they will remember almost none of them. #badUX #Product
