For today's #AudioMo let's explore #Currys in #Westfield shopping center with Jake, recorded on 5 Jan 2024. I used to do this kind of electronic exploration with my brother Dwayne many years ago before he became a dad and moved out of London, now I get to enjoy such geeky bonding time with my son instead. We both love stuff like this. Jake is 14 and very much enjoys similar things to his dad. onj.me/media/20240105-Explorin

@Edent @neil @tommorris Good to see such things interest some people. The surrender/deference without question mentality seems an all too common default.

I regularly get into it with certain stores which want my phone number (and, preferably, email and post code) "for warranty purposes". I refuse and then a manager has to be summoned to unlock the point of sale device. #HarveyNorman #PCWorld #Currys all at it. Most people just hand over data w no clue how it will be used.

#Asafoetida auch als #Asant oder Teufelsdreck bekannt, ist ein Gewürz, das aus dem Gummiharz von Asant-Pflanzen stammt und in der indischen #Küche häufig verwendet wird[1][2]. Es findet Verwendung in verschiedenen Gerichten, wie #Kormas, #currys Fleisch- und Gemüsegerichten, Reisgerichten, Pickles, Soßen, #Chutneys und Hülsenfruchtspeisen[1]. In der Küche Nord-Indiens wird Asafoetida auch in Fleisch- und Gemüseeintöpfen verwendet[2].

(1/2)

1/2 Epic fail in #Currys #Tralee last week. Specs of #Macbooks not displayed on shelf. Asked salesperson to confirm whether M1 or M2. Said person unlocked session on one, to a screen full of running apps and waiting prompts (script kiddies playing around with OSA). Incapable of shutting them down without rebooting, so showed them how. Then showed them how to find the sysinfo. Salesperson admitted they knew nothing about macOS. 🤦‍♂️

Permit me to share a double-facepalm moment.

  • Sent TV to Currys for repair, dutifully packaged with all original parts, including the screws to attach the stand.
  • TV returns a week later, repaired, but minus the pack of screws.
  • Contact Currys repair service to ask them to send screws.
  • Repair service advises (after slow exchange of emails) that screws cannot be posted.
  • Rather than post the screws, they want to arrange a courier to collect the TV, return it to the workshop, find the screws, then put the screws back in the TV box and send back the TV (which will no doubt take another week).

It's like six machine screws. Argh!
