Absolutely love that CCC talk, very interesting and quite entertaining too.

Cheeky bastards.

Try electrical engineering! All you need is a socket and a fork!

In fairness, I very much doubt a chargeback would even get so far as a human.

From what I’ve seen with other companies across different continents, a chargeback triggers an automatic account ban with whichever retailer and that’s that.

I encountered Quishing the other day - the inadvertent scanning of QR codes that take a browser to a malformed URL or site with malware embedded.

Back in my day, it was just called “being a bit dense”, especially as most cameras/QR readers will offer you a prompt to go to a website first.

Looks like a Samsung battery, about to give off some disco gas.

Yeah the charge got binned as internet access became more mainstream.it was inexpensive though, like £2 for half hour or something.

I’d pay a fair bit more to go back to an age when staring at this beautiful icon was all the reassurance you needed that the page was on its way:

Moving on fifteen years, StumbleUpon scratched that exact itch!

I mean you’re not far wrong. I always dreamed of a Ford Sierra or a Vauxhall VX220, but the Scooby with McRae and Grist’s name on it was an absolute belter.

I suppose the last one is halfway true. In the UK before internet access was mainstream, you either had to use the school/work network connection and their weird access control packages, or use the local library. In any case, you actually had to get dressed to use the internet.

This was when ISDN was a fat pipe, and if you went to the library, had to plan what you was going to look up because you paid for 30mins of access time. After you’d searched for PS1 cheat codes, Ask(ed) Jeeves for a fact to settle an argument, and looked up pictures of the 555-branded Subaru Impreza, it was time to burn off whatever acces time was left on Lycos, Excite, or Google’s directory service to find new cool stuff.

Old school.

Looks decent. The opening reminded me of Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture.

I think it’ll be unfair to call it “Fallout but without the nuclear bomb, more of a nuclear accident”, but I’m looking forward to it all the same.

That last line made me change to Ray Parker Jr style funk.

wow

very sale

much eat

so fruit

wow

…

much sad that Kabosu not here

All I needed was a reason

Just to be a proper poser…

…obviously that was a lie, I could never afford persistent storage. Floppy swaps were king.

His voice isn’t much different!

I watch his videos because it’s nice to have an insider view of what was the formative years of Microsoft’s assimilation creation of a common office workspace. The anecdotes are deliciously 90’s, the openness is refreshing, and the implementation detail is quite interesting.

My other half likes the videos because he has that quite monotone voice, with quite an even canter and the odd lingering pause that can send her to sleep.

Win win.

Yeah that’s a really good point actually. I never really thought of it like that, and I had completely forgotten about the whole Gasly debacle.

Fair play to him though, he’s absolutely proved his point on his return to F1. Must have learned a lot from his year with Goatifi.

sparky snek

Awesome. I rather enjoy seeing him throw that Williams about like a stripper’s bra - making it do things and putting it on grid slots that the machinery has no right in achieving. Good on the guy.

It does make you wonder whether RB dropped him too soon. I mean, he was awful at RB, but is clearly a quality driver.

I really like Zhou. As you say, he’s not top tier but he doesn’t half put a shift in, and some of his performances have made Bottas look a bit silly.

I fear he’ll forever be a midfielder but certainly proven himself worthy of a drive.
