This is the banal 'do better' finger wagging I was talking about the other day

If someone paid me to shill crypto to my friends, I could see me rationalising it with ‘they are smart, they know it’s bullshit’ without completing the sentence with ‘or would they trust me enough to think it’s ok now?’. Just the once, mind. Then you’re just a shill rather than a temporary idiot

I wouldn’t worry about it. I started running and generally eating better and everyone now just assumes I’m on it anyway

Cyberpunk is people slapping janky things together to fulfill a need. This boring dystopia is tech nobody wants or needs being slapped on us.

It’s also very on brand that the settings in these instructions don’t actually exist

It’s because you don’t often get a chance to stick the boot in to SAP. All my homies hate SAP.
Same as I never miss a chance to tell people how much I hate peoplesoft/cloud

SAP is so bad our company threw a party after we finally managed a successful DR test.
But, yes, the thing it gets wrong is that it’s less the Germans can’t do software and more they can’t do cost cutting. They are noticeably cutting corners and everything is suffering from switches to software

This is the reason everything I know how to cook is the first hit for something from BBC Good Food.
Ingredients->Method->disgruntled people chirping in about how the cooking time is too short

‘How much are we spending on DDOS protection?’
‘$18m a year, sir’
‘And when was the last time we had a DDOS outage?’
‘Never sir’
‘So cancel it’
‘Masterful gambit, sir’

I don’t think it’s entirely stupid. The 24/7 sports entertainment complex is massive and people do spend more time listening to people talk about football than actually watching the game. See fucking TalkSport for more details.

We couldn’t get anything good out of it so my colleague asked us to tell us a joke. Because we pay the Iron Price and not the mainstream subsidised drug dealer intro price, we got a £300 lightbulb gag.
Which is why it will fail. Not only is it useless, it’s unbelievably expensive when not comped

You can tell it’s bad. We are on a ‘Copilot For Security’ pilot at work and are being asked to find reasons to justify the expense rather than having a requirement and buying software to address it like normal people. it doesn’t fulfil any specific need anyone has.

Really, its the difference between treating coffee as something to enjoy and being happy to shovel down a disgusting costa to wake you up

Im bourgeois enough to live near a specialty coffee roastery and they serve it like this. If you order an Americano, they will serve it on a tray with a glass of boiled, filtered water so you can dilute to taste. You're at the top of the coffee tech curve.

Like I said to my EV hating F-I-L, EVs aren’t *the* solution but they are a solution until something better comes along. They don’t have to be perfect just better than what we have and they are.

DJay, it’s an IOS app that can stream directly from Apple Music so infinite music. I’ve got some decks that hook up to my iPad for a ‘proper’ mix but this is just me twatting about on my phone. It’s better than candy crush at any rate.
