Conservatives and missing the point of their favourite songs; name a more iconic duo!

I can understand a banking app such as Chime* wanting to obfuscate whatever bugs or potential exploits they’ve come across and patched - to prevent users on older versions from being targeted; but the rest of those examples are utterly bullshit.

I put forward Duolingo as another egregious example of this bullshit:

Apple also offer a similar service, if you so happen to own an iPhone.

Has been really useful for identifying which vendors and websites on-sold my data!

If your fridge has a linear compressor; have a look online if your particular model is impacted by excessive failures.

Ours lasted around 3 years before kicking the bucket, despite the 10yr “warranty” (which only covered parts, and not call-out fees or labour) - only for it to be deemed uneconomical to repair.

We lost all of our food, but we did at least get a full refund. Ended up going with a Hitachi after multiple recommendations and review scouring, and haven’t been happier!

It’s literally sad that the only hope for EA to become less scummy as a privately held company, than it was as a publicly traded company, is for the Saudi Arabian regime to proactively use them to win over gamers through the digital equivalent of ‘sports-washing’.

It’s depressing to think that we are at a point where EA could be considered the lesser evil in comparison.

The hour will not be lost completely, it is being given as a no-interest loan to the Gods of Time, to be returned to us on 5th April next year.

Alternatively, we are just repaying the Gods of Time for the additional hour we received in April this year. The Gods practise usury, hence we do not need to pay any interest beyond mild grogginess.

Legitimately would commit heinous, unspeakable acts if it would give us access to a 4 bed, 3 bath apartment with an extra room for a home office in Oakleigh at an affordable price.

I haven’t thought about Imgur for a hot minute. Thanks for the heads-up!

At least it wasn’t “Large, Grande, and Venti”!

My understanding is that the author of an APK will now need to be verified through some Google service, in order to be able to sign the file and be accepted by an Android device regardless of if it came through the Play (or alt) styles, or sideloaded directly by a user.

So it’s not quite as locked down as iOS, but definitely a step in that direction (and in the wrong direction, IMO).

Honestly, should send them with AirTags or similar hidden inside and track their progress - would easily get to the bottom of who the culprits are.

Just have the recipients of the shoes return successfully delivered tags in a replay paid envelope for a refund/credit.

I love that bottom image, I hope you don’t object to me yoinking it and using it myself?

Too fucking real…

As a non-American, I find that whole concept absurd - and that’s before learning of its ties to monarchy!

Qualified immunity; because there is no explicit guidance against police “shooting blonde, female Australian news reporters live on the air while covering an LA protests against ICE on a weekend” - he will be let off with a stern talking to, and a wink.

Oh, totally! 🙄

I have a feeling I’m going to have a LOT of (unpaid, as I’m on salary) overtime in the next three weeks as a result!

Am meant to transfer to a new department at work next week, but the new team didn’t initiate the transfer correctly - so my old role couldn’t be backfilled…

…now there’s a fight brewing over when I should actually transition. It’s good to be wanted, but I feel like a kid who’s divorcing parents are fighting for custody!

Any recent restaurants that stand-out as worth mentioning?

Just got home from the gym, and going to head back for another session in the morning - all because I’m stubborn and want to prove the wife wrong…

…she definitely knows how to push my buttons, heaven help me if she ever decides to use those powers for evil! 😅

The in-laws are heading back overseas in a month, so we are going to lose their babysitting services shortly, so I’m trying to get in as much exercise as I can!

Any tips to stay on track and motivated to work out from home once they leave?
