It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

I can attest, Samsung interface is the worst.
“Samsung’s QD-OLED panel itself is phenomenal, if nothing special in 2026. The problem is the software. I would pay Samsung $100, right now, for this “smart” TV to be as dumb as the ones I grew up with. ”
Why I wish I hadn’t bought my Samsung OLED TV — The Verge
In June 2024, in a dusty TV shop empty of customers save myself, my wife, and my kids, I stared deep into the LG C3 and Samsung S90C. I went back and forth between the two OLED screens for easily 20 m...

It has taken me two weeks and counting to try and register a project with @gamefound.bsky.social and I'm pretty close to giving up at this point.
The latest issue with my registration is that my Company Registration number (which is blank anyway) is too many digits.
It is 000000000.

Working on a games commission and realising that six suspects and six time means 36 ways to locate and evidence them, and that is a LOT.

You can't help but laugh at Liz Truss really, can you.
Although Starmer's latest net favourability rating (-47) is an improvement from January (-57), it is still in a similar territory to May's when she announced her resignation (-49) and only slightly better than Johnson's on the day he resigned (-53) or Sunak's before he lost the 2024 election (-53)

I hate getting cold calls (even warm calls) so much that I've taken to writing this in enquiry forms: "Please do not call - newborn in house."
So far, so good!

I know it’s only February, but I’ve just finished “The Names” and think it’s already a book of the year. An extraordinary read. Brutal in places, but beautifully written and quite emotional (lots of trigger warnings) amzn.to/4kl0VsC
