Are pagers, walky talkies and other vintage technology particularly at risk?

If so I’m a bit worried about my theremin, but then I haven’t touched it in years.

Zip2 ,

When you say trend, is it only on TikTok?

Zip2 , (edited )

Ah, they’re not over here. That’s why I’ve never heard of it.

I wonder if this trend will catch on to not cooking anything else properly?

Zip2 ,

Soon to be appearing in Aldis middle aisle?

Zip2 ,

If it really had to be a word, couldn’t it be unshittify?

Zip2 ,

By having one of its members die in a car crash?

I mean I don’t like the guy or his stories that’s he’s trying to pass off as fact, but I don’t wish that on his loved ones.

Zip2 ,

I don’t know what that is.

Zip2 ,

It’s almost like murdering people is a bad idea.

/s for non-Europeans.

Zip2 ,

And I hope the EU court throws it straight back at him.

LinkedIn scraped user data for training AI before updating its terms of service and without obtaining user opt-in consent (techcrunch.com)

LinkedIn users in the U.S. — but not the EU, EEA, or Switzerland, likely due to those regions’ data privacy rules — have an opt-out toggle in their settings screen disclosing that LinkedIn scrapes personal data to train “content creation AI models.” The toggle isn’t new. But, as first reported by 404 Media, LinkedIn...

Zip2 ,

What happens when the AI is trained on stuff that was made up to begin with?

Zip2 ,

I feel your you dear US citizens.

What are you feeling of theirs?

Zip2 , (edited )

This is like the Netflix “top 10 in your country right now” list.

Never have I felt more alienated from my fellow country people than by reading this list.

Zip2 ,

Eh?

Zip2 ,

I think most of the items on that list are more a result of societal changes more recent than the creation of Britain as an entity, and the concept of Britishness has changed much and continues to do so.

We cant’t blame everything on the far past, otherwise we’d be pointing the finger at the formation of the eukaryotes.

Zip2 ,

Ok. I did say “Britishness as it is today”, I never mentioned the far past.

You’re absolutely right, you did. Blame my dodgy eyesight!

Zip2 ,

They are trying to do something about those badgers though.

Zip2 ,

You’re not the only one who’s glad you’re not having kids.

Zip2 ,

We shouldn’t be forced to support someone else’s family.

I hope you’ll remember that should you or your family ever need state hand outs.

Zip2 ,

There are too many people, I’ll agree.

However you can’t take away peoples biological rights to reproduce.

But you can give fathers a bit more time off early on to help with looking after their family. A few weeks of extra paternity leave funding would probably work out cheaper in the long run for the treasury vs all the alternatives.

Plus you need a constantly supply to refresh the workers who are getting older and cluttering up the top of the population pyramid.

Zip2 ,

How is giving fathers a bit of extra time off incentivising increasing the population??? They were going to have the child anyway!

It’s not reaching into your wallet, it’s everyone’s. And the cost is far offset by the taxes levied on that child when it starts work anyway.

Zip2 ,

Its right there in what you typed, its giving them time off. That’s what inventivizes them.

No it isn’t. I speak from personal experience. Twice.

Zip2 ,

I hope they’re providing a preprinted label and free return shipping.

Zip2 ,

Just switch to Windows.

Zip2 ,

Just move to Europe.

Zip2 ,

It’s not a recognised condition in some parts of the world, despite the spasms it causes in the knees.

Zip2 ,

You’re going to get downvoted to hell for that.

Zip2 ,

Aren’t you too busy running a pub and a farm to be on here posting?

Zip2 ,

Speedophiles.

Zip2 ,

Yeah, but that only works in countries where you mispronounce any word beginning with ‘pae’.

Zip2 ,

I’m not sure what to suggest, you’ve had a few hundred years to catch up :-P

Zip2 ,

I wouldn’t know, I don’t follow it or know much of its history. All I know is it dates back to the Middle Ages. Lots of history. And culture of our own.

Zip2 ,

Well, I wasn’t expecting it to be Hammer time again.

Zip2 ,

And how many of those 50 things actually matter? They’re things you want to do, not things the average user needs to do.

Simplicity is the main feature and has been a staple of Apple products for 35 years I’ve been using them. It means we don’t have to spend ages tweaking settings, we can get on with more productive stuff.

Warm fronts to Y-fronts: Chinese city hit by underwear storm (www.theguardian.com)

It was the talk of the town. After the authorities sought to break a long-running heatwave in Chongqing by using cloud-seeding missiles to artificially bring rain, the Chinese megacity was blasted by an unusual weather event – an underwear storm....

Zip2 ,

What about the rest of the washing? Or do the Chinese have days where they only air their smalls? So many questions.

Zip2 ,

Ffs America. You can just provide a service, not everything has to turn a profit.

Zip2 ,

See what you’ve done there is confuse a system of governance with compassion and humanity.

Zip2 ,

It’s giving a damn about people and their loved one’s well being and standard of living, rather than seeing them as unworthy burdens on society.

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

…and I’ll mine their labour for profit before casting them back into their slums.

Zip2 ,

It’s cool, I knew. I’m from a nation that both recognises and appreciates sarcasm. And basic human rights.

Zip2 ,

I’m guessing one that isn’t covered by a national park, aonb, is sparsely populated, has the least benefit from tourism and doesn’t produce food.

I’m not sure where that would be.

Zip2 ,

Can’t we dump them where we’ve extracted oil from? Surely under the sea is a better choice.

Zip2 ,

Except he’ll just take it to his mate in America.
