Fear not, this will only be available to the super rich.

However, you will be able to feed your children by selling your organs, so we’ve got that going for us.

I feel like some people in this thread are overlooking the tongue in cheek nature of this humour post and taking it weirdly personally

I actually stopped my subscription to Wired recently because the damn site never recognises me and login does not seem to support autofill or biometrics. Really pissed me off.

Anyway, the gist of this article is the companies are spending money on building AI and sacking people to save that money

What an amazing read.

My god, this is a masterful piece of writing.

“Make the situation more of a commitment”

Amazing.

Much of the North and Wales are still not very diverse Part of what you were experiencing is the fact that you really do stand out.

Bristol is not so very far away from you, and it’s a very cosmopolitan city… No one there will give a fuck I do assure you.

Not now perhaps, but then it was. To me. I’d not pay them a farthing now.

100% I did pay for the premium version of Apollo and I absolutely would have paid about £20 a month for access.

It was the #1 most used app on all my devices.

I know, I snorted at that. Oh, shit we’re losing money because we pursued endless growth instead of the UX for customers….quick, uhhh….AI!

That’s a great point!

This is actually a thing. Worked in Apple Stores for years and saw laptops and phones full of rice. Whole grains and bits n bobs.

So before the rice you could actually do a modular repair sometimes. Swap out the battery or SSD.

Whole thing full of rice bits attached to every component? Forget it.

Also, once a device is liquid damaged, often rice will resurrect it but only until the logic board rusts through / goes dry. Copper oxidises over time.

On the other hand, if you can’t afford a repair or swap out, (contrary to popular opinion, Apple sell replacement devices through their service channel way cheaper than new units) rice might give your device a new lease of life. So sometimes worth the gamble.

Edit: missed the D off SSD which kind of changed the context!

Didn’t this come from Jay Pinkerton’s old site? I thought this comic had vanished from the internet…

Holy shit, thanks for that

It took about a year to make a difference for me.

I guess they call it mindfulness practice for a reason

Me too man. I had a really unhealthy Reddit problem.

Theses days, after about an hour of scrolling I’m out of content, which feels sensible.
