It’s so sad. It’s all just regurgitating stuff they’ve read online about who’s to blame without any scrutiny of the actual facts.

I’ve been with them for years and do rate them, but they’ve done this to us a couple of times too and it’s very annoying. Seems to go against their own values as well.

Also incredible. I’m happy with that.

I’ve just read it back and I’m not sure it’s obvious I’m referring to a PlayStation Portal that I bought 2 weeks ago 😅

Not the one I did! Which shows how long I’d had mine.

I upgraded but only because my 2s were a few years old and get a lot of use daily. I’d noticed the battery not lasting as long and as I was getting a new iPhone thought I’d do both at once.

No noticeable difference but having a USB C case has been useful!

And don’t get me started on them just copying and pasting things that journalists have said rather than, you know, using the RT button or something.

The fact there’s even an audience for it is depressing.

This is solely aimed at the NUFC accounts, but I imagine it’s the same with them all.

No TP fan “thinks” they have all the books.

I don’t think I’ve met anyone only half in to Pratchett. It’s either all or nothing (I’m very much the former).

I solved this by having an extra eSIM contract with a separate number for clients, and then using WhatsApp Business. Means it’s a separate app and I can turn off notifications when I’m away. Or turn off the number altogether if needed.

I’m still subscribed to the Athletic, but they do this kind of thing all the time and it really annoys me when they always said they wouldn’t.

SEO is inevitable I suppose.

The problem with this is that illegal working is - and I don’t think this is too much of a reach - often undertaken by people who don’t really care too much for rules or laws.

So stamping your feet and insisting everyone has digital IDs will just get ignored by those who ignore these things anyway.

I’m a fan of her music - went to an Eras show, own a few albums on vinyl and CD - but what if this one’s terrible?

This is the power of being brand-based rather than product-based. People to buy into the vibe rather than the actual thing. And it can make you a lot of money along the way.

Saying “Nigel who? Sorry, doesn’t ring any bells” would send a stronger message. And it’d be funny.

This is an incredible comparison.

They’re doing a CoD film as well which… is just going to be a generic war film isn’t it? There’s nothing distinctive about that IP beyond gaming.

So many other, more interesting, stories from gaming that could be told in film.
