- Comment on Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype 3 days ago:
Yeah I’ve still got my headsets from boxes with Skype For Business branding that have “Compatible with Microsoft Lync” stickers on them.
It’s probably closer in UI to Skype from the 2000s that the “real” Skype never really recaptured. Not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing.
- Comment on Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype 3 days ago:
My org used Skype For Business and it worked remarkably well. Much more lightweight, though somehow still a little less responsive than it should have been.
It has that “it just works” factor for video calling, whereas Teams needs fucking checklist throttle through if someone’s audio or video feed isn’t working.

That’s a wingman and a half.

ARE YOU THREATENING ME???

I AM CORNHOLIO!
I NEED TP FOR MY BUNGHOLE
- Comment on Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the site 2 weeks ago:
Oh I don’t know, he’s already in Newport hiyoooooooooooo
- Comment on Bro... 4 weeks ago:
Time to suggest a coffee and a piss stop, and furiously Google “one day car insurance policies” I think.
That, or make sure your life insurance policy is in order and text your partner “enjoy the free house!”
- Comment on What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game? 1 month ago:
32-bit FIFA 98, best FIFA.
I never did beat Lode Runner on my Atari 800. What an absolute banger of a game though. Speaking of which, I remember playing Encounter on the Atari 800 and Mercenary III on the Atari ST, and realising “this is the direction of video games”. Incredible stuff.

oh no
Does that mean he’s coming back to the UK?
- Comment on [Definitely not a weekly thread] Men over 30, how is your week going? 2 months ago:
That sounds awesome, friend. I hope you have a good one!
I’m working away from home for a few more days (the absolute overtime slag that I am!), and then I may head over to a friend’s to drink far more wine than your average human was intended to drink for New Year, and see in January with a killer headache.
I am a simple person!
Although, January 2nd I may start putting more effort into the running and rowing, I’ve been slacking this past six weeks!

Alright yeah cheers mate, how’s yours?
- Comment on 2 US pilots shot down over Red Sea in 'friendly fire' incident: military 2 months ago:
Sounds about right. If the target acquisition algo or navigation avionics were published online (or even enough detail to figure out what they are by inference) then it would make the opposing force’s life a lot easier.
Probably quicker to wait a few months and see the full manual appear on a War Thunder forum.
- Comment on Thames Water boss defends bonuses as sewage spills soar 2 months ago:
Fuck all, really.
Competitive packages should attract successful candidates, not cunts who consistently fail at both moderating pay, and literally shitting in the rivers and leaving for the taxpayer to clean up.
Fuck the shareholders of this company, it’s an abject failure and needs to be brought into local authority ownership.
- Comment on Supervolcano shows signs of waking up, which would plunge the world into chaos 3 months ago:
Anyone remember the 2005 TV feature Supervolcano?
I loved it when it came out, still relevent today - perhaps the Threads of the geology field. Great way to burn off almost two hours if you ever get bored.
- Comment on Mom of the year 4 months ago:
Is this the same as plugging an extension cable into itself to get free and unlimited electricity?
- Comment on perfect 4 months ago:
One, two, three, four
Let me hear you scream if you want some more
Like ah, push it, push it
Watch me work it
Underrated banger.
- Comment on Microsoft Edge gets "unfair advantage", browser makers claim 4 months ago:
That’s not the problematic metric though. It’s the 70-80% (link) install base of the Windows OS on desktop computers that Edge is installed with that’s the basis of the anti-competitive allegation.
The fact that it still only takes 5% of the browser usage is more of a happy accident.

This is how you get shot for the silliest of reasons.
- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 5 months ago:
Unless it’s the initial outreach team or on-premises staff, sales would be one of the few roles totally suited to remote working.
Some of the more creative or collaborative roles I can see the argument for hybrid working - even if it’s just one day a week or month in the office - but sales, customer service, or first line support seems to be the last area you’d impose a return to work mandate on.
That said, I haven’t got extortionate office rents to justify 😂

Man I haven’t been keeping up with the remakes. Is that Adam Jensen or Albert Wesker?

Goatse.
Every time.
- Comment on Which rural area will take the UK’s nuclear waste? 5 months ago:
Newport city centre then wheeeyyyyyy
I suspect it’ll probably end up in the same places most other large hazardous industrial sites will be - rural, coastal just off an arterial road route somewhere. See also: Torness, Easington, Milford Haven etc.
That said, Tom Scott did a video (because of course he did) on plans for nuclear testing on UK soil - have a look if you’re interested - and it seems the answer to that was underneath a chunky section of Yorkshire moorland.
- Comment on RM 800XL - a new incarnation of popular 8-bit computer from 1983 5 months ago:
Brilliant, thank you - that’s really interesting and appreciated.
I still remember typing JPELC at the Mission: Shark title screen to toggle cheats.
- Comment on RM 800XL - a new incarnation of popular 8-bit computer from 1983 5 months ago:
Awesome.
I’ve no idea why, but the Polish could make the 800-series sing. An entire generation of bedroom coders getting their games onto top tier labels like Zeppelin, Mastertronic etc.
It fills me with hope that this RM800 will do well.
- Comment on LILYGO T-Deck Plus is a $70 handheld with GPS, LoRa, and a BlackBerry keyboard - Liliputing 6 months ago:
Same as the Unihertz Titan. I ran with that for two years and it was decent, if underpowered.
The dream is all but dead for all fourteen and a half of us QWERTY phone enthusiasts I think. A surprising number went to the Samsung Galaxy Flip models, though having used this for two years or so, I wouldn’t recommend it either.
Maybe one day…
- Comment on Pocklington: Farmer dies after being run over by his Range Rover 6 months ago:
That’s a shame for the family, especially the wife that may well have seen him dead earlier in the evening but thought it was something normal that he was doing.
That said, it’s remarkable that the only person that got hurt by his ability to control vehicle was himself, looking at the list of blunders he had made with other vehicles.
- Comment on Not safe to swim: Paris Olympics event cancelled over Seine water quality concerns 6 months ago:
Sounds like the same quality benchmark for Stella Artois.
- Comment on Wreckfest 2 announced with trailer abundant in fender-bending and newly rageful drivers 6 months ago:
Wreckfest is an absolute banger - the only game (in my subjective opinion) that comes close to Destruction Derby 2 in terms of pure satisfaction when cleaning someone out.
Looking forward to W2.
- Comment on Arrest warrant issued for Katie Price after she failed to attend bankruptcy court hearing 6 months ago:
(I posted this initially in another community, not realising it was just a bot posting)
Why is Katie Price still a thing?
As far as I can remember, she got famous for nothing other than having large breasts.
Beyond that, the last 20 years seem to have been constant attempts to stay relevant with perfumes, books, reality TVs show apprarances, and an inability to understand how basic road safety works.
Why is she still popular, I wonder?
