Maybe thats the problem with people these days!

People only care about price so now everything is built as cheap as possible, corners cut everywhere so now everything is shit… because it needs to be cheap! It’s getting harder to find anything that seems built to last more than a year.

As scummy as Amazon might be, they’re still the only company that offers anything that resembles convenience. eBay could’ve challenged Amazon but profit over service and those in charge walking round with their head up there arse’s and now it’s a poor copy of aliexpress that seems to be 90% chinese crap in the UK! I’m not wasting an hour trawling every online store when I know Amazon has it… so what if its £3 more!

And sadly the cheap money has gone and no-one wants to offer a better Amazon because there’s money in it because… everyone wants everything cheap! 🤦‍♂️😞

I think we’re now seeing what happens when the rich have too much control and people continue to let it happen.

People talk about free countries but is there any country left that isn’t working flat out on decimating peoples freedom at an alarming rate?

Free speech, Wage theft, the car you drive, the way people who don’t, or can’t work are alienated… even the way people vote are all used to divide people and make it easier to take away peoples freedoms!

It really is utterly disgusting whats going on but as we see in Wales, Labour is an even shittier, controlling party! 😞

Not sure if they’ve improved it but meshtastic also used to require a module per device/phone so sadly you can’t dot them around and allow multiple people to share them like with group events.

“By the book…”

Yeah, lets wait and see because nothing apple touches is by anything but apples book! But then the whole USB C shambles is such a mess its hard to know if its crappy cables or companies being aholes because my ipad will charge with 1 cable, but not another, yet both charge my pixel fine.

But then i’m not spending £ks on an iPhone anymore when they seem to be following google’s book and have separate departments that never collaborate so you get garbage software! 😡

I tried moderating once when Lycos chat was a thing but the problem with everything on the internet is you have to deal with power mad nut jobs that’ll do anything to knock you down if they see enjoying it.

So I really don’t get how good people can last in unpaid positions when you have people with no morale compass grind you down because boring people feel the need to take down anyone that dares ‘have fun’!

So it doesn’t surprise me when I randomly login to Lycos chat once a year, or 10 and see how lifeless it is and sadly no-one seems to have understood what attracted people there, or tried to improve on it! 😞

Or we could all just vote for people that aren’t corrupt… or at least, yet!

If you don’t know who isn’t corrupt, vote for independents that understand technology. I know it’ll never happen so things will continue to go downhill but gees, what do governments have to do to get people to wake up? 🤬

Hell, i’ll be happy if people just stopped believing ‘for the sack of the children’ crap and realise its all about controlling the population! 🙄🤦‍♂️

Just another reason to not have friends. No need to worry about messages and people getting funny because you 😱 reply to them straight away! 😎

Is it wrong to only miss not having friends when I need a hand lifting up something? 😳 I really need to buy a remote controlled crane! 🤔

The one question no-one has mentioned yet given it’s probably Bitwarden’s biggest security vulnerability…

How strong is your password?

Because ultimately that is EVERY password managers weakness! I’m also still skeptical about the abuse, is it passkeys or something that I’m going to guess will make it so much easier to do social engineering on so I’d personally never use it on a vault.

Is it a M1 chip?

We’re having the same issue with picking refresh rates which I think is linked to something quirky Apple is/isn’t doing on the M1 chips.

My 2018 MacBook Pro works fine, can select refresh rates… M1 Mac Pro doesn’t see anything, M1 MacBook Pro only lets you see 30/60hz but is flaky displaying anything ‘if’ it decides to see it. So the only option would be to have a scaler up/down convert it (Like blackmagic UpDownCross converter) but I haven’t tested if that solves the issue yet since I don’t own one and as they are now, unlikely to every buy one!

It used to be ok a few months ago but my god, all I did the other day was scroll past train, stolen video clips and general utter shit! How anyone likes that crap is beyond me but I guess thats what happens when 90% of the population have been turned into morons!

It’s gone from slightly entertaining to TV level shittyness so ended up deleting it so now hove nothing to entertain me when on the throne! 😞
