  I remember playing Assault on the Control Room on Halo 1 and one of the doors glitched and didn’t unlock. I must have walked around those hallways for hours trying to work out where I was supposed to go

  You fool you just typed it and spoiled your experiment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hundreds of smartphone apps are monitoring users through their microphones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m part of those people. The usual argument is that everybody’s phone is listening all the time, without agreeing to permissions or showing the mic notification or anything like that. I’ve never seen any proof of that. This article is about a bunch of shovelware apps (Pool 3D, Beer pong: Trickshot, Honey Quest etc) that aren’t even listed anymore. There’s nothing about them skirting permissions or hiding the notification.

  People see the headline and assume it’s Facebook et al.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's kinda crazy that we willingly give money to companies in advance (say for gift vouchers and pre-orders)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I FUCKING HATE GIFT VOUCHERS.

  I have a little stack of vouchers for places I almost never visit, all expiring at random times in the next year or so. I have to remember what shops I have them for and make sure I spend money there before they expire. It’s just one more thing to worry about. “Oh, I have to buy this from Screwfix - do we have the vouchers for them? Maybe! How much? I don’t know, it doesn’t say on there. Has it expired yet? Not sure. Do they work online? Oh it’s not working maybe we used it and forgot to bin it”. And then the annoyance of spending money somewhere and forgetting to use vouchers. Why do people burden me with this and consider it a gift? Do I look like somebody who shops at John Lewis?!

  At least it’s becoming less common for people to start comments with “Imagine…”

  Glad you agree on the correct pronunciation of schedule. Fuck the people that say schedule.

  I remember a lot of effort being put into teaching us to stop, drop and roll if we were ever on fire. Kinda thought that knowledge would have been put to the test by now, but I haven’t even been on fire once!
