@fesshole@mastodon.social I and my (then) wife would often wake up without explanation at around 3.30 each morning. It was only by chance that one day I was already awake then and heard one of the Alexa's talk! Turns out a routine set for that time in the morning was failing to do something so Alexa would announce it but not loud or long enough for us to realise it during the sleep disturbance.

@Gargron@mastodon.social Simba says Hi!
Such a good fry up / cafe!
Yesterday (weekday) it was full of hi Vis clad construction workers. Clearly has a good reputation :D
I find it incredible that the maintenance instructions for this cell site must include "bring your own boat". There seems to be no other way to physically access it.
This is a genuine email from #Microsoft yet it lacks an unsubscribe link, the unsubscribe link is missing from the message headers and the from address is "noreply" as the name but the address in the envelope is "replies@microsoft.com"

Here's just one step of Twilio's UK "regulatory bundle" requirements before I can buy a geographic number.

It's like nobody tries any more.
How can the trains be so messed up by a radio comms failure. ARGH. Feels like I will never reach my destination.

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io same. I also can't do things like pottery painting or art as I have zero ability to visualise what I want or could do.

You go to add something at 9am and it actually adds it for 10am.

@joyousjoyness@mastodon.social I love the smell of rosemary.
@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk I believe in love at first sight (or within two or three dates).
From #Portugal for #FingerPostFriday ... Yay.

@Edent@mastodon.social sounds like most busses I've been on other than London. I do admit I am not well travelled though :D
Why do companies use #ai chatbots?
What's happened to step 2? Why is it blank?
@MLE_online@social.afront.org I learned that a long time ago. Slow pans and record for much longer than you think is required.
Slow pans if moving the camera really is important too.

Happy Valentine's day to anyone, even those without a partner.. Taking time for yourself and loving yourself is important too.
@Erased_Citizen@cupoftea.social I generally find it ok.. the worst thing is not being warned when it's about to do an update to the door controllers over RS485 - leaving doors locked until the upgrade completes HOURS later. (due to slow speed on RS485)

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place what a novel idea. Can we give it a catch name?
What's a good alternative to #Mozilla #Firefox without crapware ? I just fresh installed it and had to remove widgets and VPN button. Then launched it again and some widgets and the VPN icon had come back!
Balls to this. I had already been thinking it has been crappifying for a bit and today is the lastni want to put up with it.

@pwaring@social.xk7.net I'm ignoring it for as long as possible. Such a stupid idea to remove the ability to file free with HMRC directly. What's the benefit!?

I wish customer services were better these days.. Trying to call a car rental company to extend the rental (you would think something they would welcome as they get to bill be more money) but it's eternal hold music. Nobody answers.
ARGH.
This event at the #BluebellRailway last year was fantastic.. Highly recommend anyone who has any thought of going should book and go!

@Erased_Citizen@cupoftea.social common in schools. I once set a background on all computers (group policy) to then have someone else say they didn't like it and to undo it.

@peternocturnal@sfba.social I've been doing that in Portugal the past 3 weeks. It's much more difficult to figure out than the change to driving.
I am feeling particularly fussy today and I can't work out why. It's going to be a long day :\
