Shipping docs overseas - $75 for 3-5 day delivery but actually took 9 days in the end. Some places wanted double. For an envelope. Why is overseas shipping so expensive and unreliable?

This pic sums up the current state of #iot: @samsung tv is meant to turn on when you approach; @philips hue bulb is meant to be at a lower brightness; @apple
HomeKit is meant to turn on two lamps at once. Huge companies crappy software are delaying the day iot becomes ubiquitous.…

@British_Airways In fact, your reply neatly illustrates the problem. Nobody is taking responsibility for these issues, which continue to occur on a regular basis. Please spend less on twitter and more on logistics.

@British_Airways I find it fascinating there are resources available to say "that wasn't us" but none to fix your website, lean on the airport to do basic things, or even have *anything* to fill a customs declaration form in when several of your aircraft had nobody to unload the luggage.

@British_Airways There were no announcements. The monitors in the luggage hall were turned off. After an hour or two of waiting we kind of found the *two* BA employees handing out the forms, with no pens. The whole thing is a mess: the airport, the border controls and yourselves.

@British_Airways When there are many planes all with unloaded luggage, your people had the declaration forms but no pens. Your website was so broken, even logging in gave an error. The phone numbers were missing. When calling, all we got was a recording saying you couldn't take the call.

@British_Airways You had everything to do with the debacle the week before with luggage issues (not just me, many flights) and a totally broken web site. You, BAA and the Border Control are all responsible for the continuing issues when visiting the UK. It's a huge mess.

@MatthewScott @British_Airways There’s no official number. But after waiting a bit more than an hour I went and tried to get some help. I was told it might be another 2-3 hours, fill out this form. Luggage will be with you by Saturday. I’ll make sure to mention that in the talk I’m giving on Friday.

Curious how long one is meant to wait at the airport before a bag is considered lost? Been waiting an hour at #lhr t3 for our flight’s bags to come out. No announcements. Screens aren’t working. When do we just go and say my bags have disappeared? Cc @British_Airways

I had an interesting experience today with Meta's Quest 3 #vr #ar #quest3 #meta matellis.com/i-can-see-th...
I can see the future... literally
As a follower of VR tech I always assumed we'd get there one day but was surprised to find Meta's Quest 3 headset actually usable.

I got my Cybertruck email today disappointed to see I can't actually configure anything right now but delighted with my impulse purchase MegaPack - a steal at only $300MM #tesla #megapack
