And in reality, all she really did was tell them they were being petty and mean.

Net Promoter Score. Basically how likely are you to recommend them to others. Orgs get really twisted when their NPS drops.

They declined my wife’s life cover payout based on a similar technicality.

But you know what they will listen to? A 1 star NPS rating. They were on that phone so quick.

Got her money in the end 😀

Bit sick of it all, to be honest. Everything has to be an AI-powered, cloud-enabled SaaS operation nowadays.

Probably to sync user stuff to the cloud.

Auckland motorways are so confusing. One wrong lane change and you’re over the bridge doing a u-turn in a random car park.

I remember back in the 90’s when they told us the internet was designed to survive a nuclear war.

Now, it can’t even withstand an errant config setting.

The Trump administration has come to BlueSky and are posting innumerable trolling Hatch-Act violating posts designed to increase your blood pressure. I don’t believe there is anything they will post that you can trust, so I would advise muting them below.

Maybe every time we visit to fix our parents computers, we should add DNS blocking to their routers.

Brown shirts.

How apt.

They only workers they tolerate are the ones that provide shareholder value.

I see lots of people hating Teams and yet we’ve used it daily for years and it rarely slips a beat. Any issues usually boil down to users having poor internet connections.

Maybe other tools handle degraded connections better.

On the contrary, the person who made that order needs to have a word with themselves.

Ugh, we’re starting to see more of that here too - local GPs being replaced by telehealth corporates that have zero context.

And all because shareholder value takes precedence.

When my wife was teaching, she used a website about a “tree octopus” to teach her kids about validating facts.

Kindergarten must mean something different where you are.

It’s 3-5yo kids here. I’d be impressed if they could spot fake news 😀

Pretty exciting development in EV batter technology. Higher density and half the cost of LFP.

Can’t wait to introduce bird-based storage into my backup system

A twitter post explaining how you can “save PNGs to birds” by converting a drawing of a bird into a spectrogram then playing it to a starling who sung it back, reproducing the PNG.
