people always say this, but 95% of what i print is index and reference cards that need colour :( I would love to get a B&W printer, but i need the colours.

Yes. Co-worker got a super cheap printer, and then tried to cancel the ink subscription. turns out he couldn’t just buy ink from them, and his printer was useless.
Ah I see you work in my work places wage and bonus calculation department.
Utter shocked Pikachu face. its a concept that has been around for 100 years, and no-one did it before for a big reason.
Never heard the phrase sealioning before, but I have seen it everywhere.
Environmental change activists? They have pretty authoritarian views on certain subjects, even if they are more “liberal” and alternative views?
well… it made the news: https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/is-this-britains-worst-road-kettering-parents-furious-at-school-access-1327488
Quite tame for most other places, but unusually standard for the UK.
Road I live on a manhole cover is literally half exposed out the road. not the rover to it, the actual frame the cover goes into. council doesn’t care. But they just repaved a road which had only been done 5 years before, and definitely didn’t need re-doing.
You are missing a key feature of that roundabout, the first sign leading up to it, and the “clock” theory.
Imagine an analogue clock. Anything between 12:00 and 6:00 you use the right hand lane, regardless of the shape of the roundabout in real life.
Anything between 6:00 and 12:00 you use the left hand lane. Again. Regardless of what the actual real world layout of the roundabout it.
The sign shows that the left lane is not to go “straight ahead”, even though you are staying on the A610 and staying on the “same road”
Once you got past those first two exits, you would then switch from lane 2 to lane 1, as per the sign on the roundabout.
So normally left would be to continue, in this specific case, right is to continue on the A610, and the people “cutting in front of you” are correct. Well, they shouldn’t cut, but they are not expecting you to still be in lane 1
Except when a sign states otherwise. In this case left lane is exit 1 and 2, and right lane is the others. Even if you are “exiting at 12:00” / straight over.
When musk hired ex NASA or VW employees 👍
When other companies hire ex twitter / Tesla staff 😡😤😡
why are they blue!!!
Literally chose not to buy a powerbank because the power button flashed blue as bright as possible. my PC has blue LED’s on the front for status indicators, and i put some black nail polish over them to block out about 80% of the light.
Yes that is the famous Rainbow Sketch which leaked. It was very similar to that, but with alien characters from an advert Argos (UK catalogue store) was launching for Christmas 2012
There is an unreleased and un-leaked version of the 2012 ARGOS Christmas advert, not dissimilar to the infamous “rainbow for adults” sketch which leaked many years ago.
To watch it we had all our phones taken away from us, and there was a pretty thorough “OK you all saw it, funny hey, time to destroy the CD”
Fusion 360: we have unnecessarily decided to force you to use the cloud for this product
Also Fusion 360: *Noooo all you free users are using up too much of our server space, you will have to pay.
Here is an idea, let me run it on my PC and it won’t use any of your servers
And if it’s anything like Twitter was, it won’t be very social
In the same week switching to DDG browser and to Lemmy. God dayum I wish there was a good alternative for Gmail.
Then get an offline password manager. I have used DataVault on my phone for years. No subscription needed.
I use Reddit for duckduckgo searches (if they lead me there) and to look for info. I interact and post to Lemmy.
I had the same with mastodon. How they explain it still makes no sense to me, and it seems like some strange echo chamber where youonly discuss 1 topic, whereas twitter is everything, and you just follow what you like.
Turns out I just don’t like the twitter format anyway.
Lemmy.world does a good job simulating what Reddit does, but I don’t think it will replace Reddit any time soon
Maybe not the same, as its more of a service contract. At work, we have had a site which has been closed for 2 years. for 2 whole years, every week the vending machine company arrive, try to get in, can’t, ring us, and we say “that site is closed”.
Well we finally after 2 years got them to remove that site from their system?
Their response? to remove ALL food from ALL vending machines at all our sites, to remove the coffee machines, and to remove the water coolers. The water coolers are especially egregious, as they just sit there doing nothing. they are from tap water, so not even replacing bottles etc.
Sometimes subscriptions are useful. I wish the BBC TV licence in the UK was a subscription. I cannot justify spending £150 on a licence for an entire year, just to watch a month of shows. but other times it sucks. I just want Microsoft office. I don’t care if it will cost me £200. Right now my favourite game is subscription based, but i don’t think i can justify the £9.99 a month, or £50 for a whole year. £50 for lifetime access? maybe.
