RCS stopped working on my phone and I'm constantly seeing the "Setting up" screen to the point it's driving me mad.

Clearing cache, carrier services, you name it, I've done it. Even used Google's portal to get an SMS to remotely deactivate to try again.

Still no dice.

Anyone else had this?

If anyone out there is at Google IO tomorrow come see me for a little gift 🙂🎁.

Travel truth: There is not a single "good" airport on the planet. Merely airports that are more bearable than others.

Bought a £5 (around $7) case for my OnePlus 13 on eBay and it's absolutely unbelievable 😅

In fact, the Switch 2 is whack. LCD screen, games that'll be well over £70, and no real games library (yet) except for some reskins of existing games with no pricing info.

Nintendo will sell millions, but fuck me I have zero interest in it at all.
I thought I would be really interested in the Switch 2, but I think I'll stick with my Steam Deck until we get games taking advantage of the new hardware.

April Fools' jokes from tech brands are actually cringe af.

I'm really sad that Miyazaki has lived long enough for tech bros to completely fucking ruin his life's artistic work with this souless identikit AI slop.

It's still shocking to me how good One UI 7 actually is day to day.

Done with Threads (at least for a while). The engagement bait and ragebait hit fever pitch and I can't deal with it 🫠.

Back on the "next big thing" now (y'all knew it was Bluesky).

Desperate for some more football accounts on the fediverse. It's devoid of live sports 😔

Do you keep a case on your phone at all times?

I take the case off at home – surely I'm not alone in doing that, right?...

Last year at CES in a supremely tired state I tried the pistachio iced coffee. Now it's at Starbucks UK and I couldn't help myself it is incredible.

It barely counts as coffee (more like a milkshake with a hint of coffee) and I'm not great fan of Starbucks, but it's so good 😩

I love that someone uploaded Akira in full to YouTube a little while ago and it's just there for everyone to watch. Such a baller move.

Easily one of — if not — my favourite film ever.

I won't share a link, but you can find it pretty easily.

Petition for YouTube to as automatically signify what percentage a person has watched of a video before they comment.

Tons of YT comments are the most braindead of all the internet.

I don't have enough Panasonic camera gear already; so I joined the Lumix S9 gang 😅

I like the Openvibe app but not having notifications makes it hard to use for anything but posting.

My entire week so far has been sponsored by Monster Energy.

So happy it's Friday already...😴🫠

Few nicked fingers and about 3 hours later.

White Steam Deck 😎🤍

In a bid to save myself £600, I have taken matters inro my own hands and will have my own white Steam Deck OLED by Saturday.

Damn. I should have deleted my account a while back, but Twitter used to be epic.

I literally wouldn't be doing what I do now if Twitter didn't exist 😔.
