Congratulated him on day 1, I don’t think said anything since

Hear, hear. Honestly it’s not particularly good as a search engine - but it does give you very different results

Makes sense if there are. Facebook knew my phone number in advance without me having provided it. Enough friends had given permission to access their contacts that they pretty much knew who I was in advance

Whats a W?

My fancy mechanical keyboard has USB ports in it, so not outside the realms of possibility. A 9-inch cable on the mouse less realistic though

Jay Foreman - definitely British, definitely funny, but its much more than that. Their series Unfinished London talks about infrastructure over the last hundred years and how it’s affected the layout of the city. Really interesting and pretty funny.

Seconded. Love their stuff. Also Contrapoints (who Philosophy Tube kinda ripped off, but hey ho, both great content.)

FD Signifier is good too.

My work (which only has 99.9% uk based clients) has an Exchange server that automatically blocks any email that isnt one of the above, plus .co.uk and .uk.com

Saves on so much spam, 1000+ per day. I think twice in 20 years we had to manually unblock a .fr and .au domain

Not everyone, but I’d bet the NSA and CIA keep copies

My bank did the same… except not really. A bunch of functions still opens in the browser, but you can only get to them via the app, not directly using just the browser.

Another option for you would just be “buy a secondhand cheap phone for banking and nothing else”

Not sure if that’s ever happened, but Ive certainly read my own messages over and over again for a week.

Hey! What have you got against us dregs?

There’s no alternative to Reddit? Wh… What am I using right now? Am I hallucinating?

There’s a few places like that in Lanzarote. Pretty cool.

Everyone who wants to fly to America has to. Am curious what would happen if I ticked Yes next to “have you ever associated with communists”. Do they just kick you out or is there a lengthy interrogation process first?

My kid got into Snake Clash, and the amount of Ads especially of the “watch to win” type are ridiculous. Changed my routers DNS settings just so they could play the game ad free. Sadly, it now means progress is behind a relentless grind, cos you have to manually earn every single upgrade

Went to one in Poland a few years ago, and was amazed - firstly - that you could smoke inside there. Second was how well it was handled: the entire ceiling seemed to be extractor fans - could barely see or smell smoke at all.

Nah, I almost enjoy that. Rolling tobacco is about tolerable. Actual cigarettes make me sick

That surprises me, but noted !

My mum kept the triangular one I made her for over 20 years. Still quite proud of it.
