Unfortunately my experience of #HPSupport via chat/WhatsApp has been similar. Live chat not available, WhatsApp support keeps stalling & responding with inaccurate info. After 2 hours I ask for escalation, 3 days later nothing, try WhatsApp again & told the delay in escalation is “totally normal” 😡
theregister.com The Register @theregister.com · Feb 21
Yesterday, we revealed HP Inc was deliberately making you wait at least an extra 15 minutes on its support phone line in hope you would give up

Today, HP has officially ditched that stalling tactic. The Reg, customer, and staff pressure prevailed

HP ditches 15-minute wait time policy due to 'feedback'
It woz The Reg wot won it ... or maybe just common sense prevailed among management

Each year I like to bring our 2022 Bloom & Wild letterbox tree inside to see its progress against the main tree. 🌲
It’s now 50 cm tall so only 225cm to go to be the inside tree….a few more years of growth. 😂
🤞🏻I can continue keeping it alive.
Today is take the decorations off the tree day. 🥲
Three photos of a large cut Christmas tree next to a small potted tree showing how the small tree has grown over 3 years.

"Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers.” 💰🧐
Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming
Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

Our statement on the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah:
“We are deeply relieved that after two months of unimaginable violence, an agreement has finally been reached for an end to fighting. Children and their families in Lebanon have already suffered too much. Over 400,000 children in Lebanon have been forcibly displaced and don’t have a home to go back to anymore. Over 1,400 children have been injured and need to recover. As well as an immediate end to the violence, children also now urgently need life-saving humanitarian assistance as well as support to allow them and their families to rebuild their lives. We also need a lasting ceasefire in Gaza where a whole generation of children continues to bear the brunt of the conflict as the world watches. Lasting peace across the region is the only way to protect children from suffering, to safely get them critical aid, and to stop the conflict from escalating further across the region.” Jennifer Moorehead- Save the Children's Country Director in Lebanon

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."

Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂
