@GunterFehlinger I call to EU 🇪🇺 to join the British standards for plugs 🔌 Makes sense - it is not an ideological issue - our plugs are simply superior

A new study explains why you don’t see people hawking ugly cartoon apes on the internet as much anymore: NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, once vaunted as a revolution in crypto and digital art, are largely worthless. tinyurl.com/yc5n2aaa

@angrypiln Father Jack?

Yes, we should blame the crooks in the FTX empire. But also ask the question why nearly all our institutions failed to inform the public about the obvious truth, that an offshore casino wrapped in techno-obscurantist blather would run off with their money. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

@jrolandjones I'm guessing here, but was it Sir Elton John?

In the early 1980s, a traveling executive accessed his office email through a Panasonic RL-H1400 handheld computer, using an RL-P4001 Acoustic modem at a public telephone. The Panasonic RL-H1400, initially introduced in 1982, was priced at approximately $600. I was fortunate to obtain the manual, which provided the following information: “Introduction: The Panasonic HHCTM represents an unexpected breakthrough in technology—a cost-effective personal computer that fits in the palm of your hand! This innovative device features a self-instructing multiple-choice menu system for quick program access, a self-defining function key system for customization, and a self-assignable keyboard for mastering complex programs with ease. Key Features: - Utilize your home TV screen as a display unit. - Print materials generated by your Hand Held Computer. - Connect your HHC to regional and national computer information banks via telephone, accessing extensive libraries and up-to-the-minute information. - Expand your computer's memory using additional memory storage attachments. - Benefit from an electronic teacher for high-speed reading, spelling, vocabulary building, computer programming, memory improvement, and more. - Enjoy a programmable scientific calculator. - Perform word processing, advanced editing, and filing. - Access guides for tax information, diet programs, and more. - Challenge electronic opponents to chess, checkers, and various other games. - Access BASIC and SNAP computer languages for creating your own programs. - Store addresses, phone numbers, instructions, notes, business or scientific definitions, technical tables, formulas, calorie counters, personal records, prices, recipes, tax and financial records, or any data you need to recall instantly. - Utilize a Clock/Controller to manage your schedule for days, weeks, or even years in advance."

@kovyrin @smlpth I now use Bing @bing regularly. Never touched it before except to quickly test a Web page.

@smlpth Have been using ChatGPT every day (including weekends, vacations, etc) since it has been released. Don't want to go back to the world without it. The initial hype will die down, but people with real use cases will still use it IMO. Re: Google killer - need more than pure LLMs.

Hmm, could this supposed "AI revolution" turn into a fad…? 🤔 honest-broker.com/p/ugly-numbers…

@whois_search @Nominet @summitlondonuk A great discussion.

Thanks to the NED candidates who joined me for the @nominet election debate today at @summitlondonuk

@alexbloor @Darsam12_ How come they make usb chargers with a folding earth plug, keeping the whole thing very neat and streamlined but standalone plugs don't have this option. @LINDYUK made a folding plug to fig8 once but sadly no more.

@Darsam12_ It's not normal. But it is the best. It should be normal.

Britons will look you straight in the eye and say "ueah that's a normal power outlet wdym?"

@hridoyreh Disagree. Do your own research and find companies that want to work with you, not just treat you as a wallet to be emptied as often as possible

Stop wasting time choosing a platform. Because there are, Website - WordPress Domain - GoDaddy Hosting - OVH SEO - Yoast KW Research - Ahrefs Images - Canva Spelling - Grammarly Analysis - GA and GSC Emails - Mailerlite Start work...

Bad SEO Agency: Let's build links to the site's product pages. Good SEO Agency: Google tends to ignore a lot of links built to product pages. Let's publish blog content that internally links to product pages, and build links to that content. It's safer and more effective.

the year is 2038. lk-99 has revolutionized computing, energy production, and battery manufacturing. the average website takes 10 seconds to load 500MB of javascript and a typical laptop draws a kilowatt of energy for a battery life of about 6 hours. there is still no new housing

@summitlondonuk @openxchange How many screens???

Are you flying in & wish to send us your merch and promo materials? London Domain Summit says: Follow the good work of @openxchange & Go for it! All the materials will be delivered to the Hilton on Monday, August 21st.

@greatesthitsuk @RealKenBruce Could it be the much anticipated Ken Masters @MastersHoldings mash up ?

Ken's got a secret, but what could it be? 🤫 Something new is coming to Greatest Hits Radio... @RealKenBruce

🤔😉

@elonmusk THIS is the Internet

Does anyone understand the Internet?

@historyinmemes Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine: Fast forward: the Great Library is now a separate country, protected by its own standing army. It has grown into a vast power, with unquestioned and unrivalled supremacy.

What if the Library of Alexandria had not been destroyed?

@DomainIncite Forced to sign in before I can even see what has got you so annoyed, so I'll take it on trust its a massive waste of time and money!

How many of you have looked at this? It's disgraceful that ICANN has been allowed to take money from registrants to waste on shite like this. learn.icann.org/#/dashboard

@StMarys_SW8 So kind. Big thanks to Shelly

A lovely treat for our year 6 pupils. Thanks Shelly our lovely lunchtime chef! #thoughtful #kindness

@thebellow Thank you

At the world's greatest cinema tonight, The Rex in Berkhamsted, before the 'feature presentation', they showed a short clip of Argo in honour of Alan Arkin, the owner came out and had a few words about him, and promised some of his films will be screened soon. Quality screenage.
