Yes, extremely easy to set up for schools, cheaper than alternatives, and simple to problem solve for teachers.

UK. It’s been absolute fucking shite this summer. Rain, rain and more fucking rain.

Last year was scorching hot to the point of being unbearable. Not this year. It’s fucking pissing it down right now in fact.

EU commission, really. That’s the only way

The problem is, we are increasingly a minority. The majority of people now see nothing wrong with using default browsers and apps, they see ads as completely normal, they trust Google, tiktok, etc with no issues.

Bear in mind whereas I grew up with what I call the golden age of the internet, late 90s to late 00s, those today know nothing different than the internet as it is now. I’ve tried explaining this to people before - the response is always indifference. Apply that to the countless millions (billions?!) of mainstream users worldwide. It’s sad, but it’s how it is.

I honestly think the only way this is going to be stopped is if and when the EU commission step in.

He’s a cunt just like Johnson was a cunt and I’d have the same opinion if I were fucking blind. Skin colour means shit.

Half of every morning meeting is trying to work out wtf is happening with teams in my experience.

A frequent occurrence is when it, without warning, changes your text to right-to-left Arabic layout, so every now and again you get a message from a colleague that reads like they’re trapped in the black lodge

I also had a moment yesterday when pop up messages took over almost my entire screen and I had to force quit teams. If anyone used to get pop up spammed back on MSN Messenger twenty years back it was just like that.

Teams is absolute fucking shite.

Yeah, hasn’t stopped me in…15 years? Half my entire library is pirated and emulator shortcuts lol

No

I’ve installed cracked windows versions of games on the steam deck before, adding them as a non steam game, going to properties and setting them to boot with proton. I even installed a few this way by adding the installer exe as a non steam game and running that in desktop mode, under proton. It’s a hassle to find where it installed it after, but it worked for me anyhow

£30 a month for gigabit unlimited usage. UK. Connection is rock solid.

Noice, should be able to get this. Currently got 1Gbps via cityfibre UK, and it costs £30 per month for unlimited usage. Never going back to Virgin media thats for sure.

I’m reading this in professor Farnsworth’s voice. I’m not sure if that makes things better or worse

Ha, it wasn’t that bad when I went but it was during May! A day in luca (I think?) was the hottest day, and Florence was just eurgh.

Being a Brit, I naturally moan about the weather a lot. It’s a different kind of moan nowadays, as it now seems to be humid and uncomfortable more often than not.

It was 38°c the last time I went to Pisa (five years ago now, fuck) and that was utterly miserable at times. Can’t even begin to imagine 10°c on top of that.

What? That’s pretty insulting, really - your statement could be applied to any age. Generalisation isn’t cool.

How many 70 year olds do you know? Because the ones I know are either still in work or fully active. Retirement age here in the UK is 67, are you saying those in full time work should be treated like children? My mum and dad are in that age group and Dad’s set up his own Plex server for christ’s sake.

The people I know who have the worst issues with social media and shit like that are half the age, and the less said about my daughter’s age group and their tiktok addiction the better.

Literally the first thing I thought of, complete with his voice

Ha, yeah. I work from home, and when I’m out the last thing I want to do is look at my phone.

So I watch films at home. I paid for a high end home cinema set up, I’m gonna make the most of it. Otherwise it’s just a waste.

This may change as I’m having to downscale a bit for my new apartment…but yeah, 200mb still won’t be enough.

Not on my 65" 8k OLED they aren’t! You can absolutely tell the difference.

Smaller/low res screens though, sure.
