Geek, techie, pedant, cycle, walk, run an ISP.
I even design router/firewalls from scratch.

For some reason this amused me.
Installed CUPS on a Pi and connected a Zebra thermal printer (4"x6" postage labels), and as if by magic it appears as a printer on my phone. Cool.
Apparently, all it needs is a bit of unicorn magic to fix it :-)
Agreed
QT rsmck: In a modern society this disparity is unacceptable. If live events canโt take place, worship canโt take place and vice-versa. The virus does not discriminate based on your religious belief - what happened to separation of church and state?!
Iโve been having fun double checking my 1d barcode library complies exactly to GS-1 spec.
People really have no idea what the beneficiary reference is actually for when sending a payment. Clue, we know who we are and donโt need to be told! What we need to know is which account reference/number on our system you are paying us for! :-)
I donโt get it, #GDPR ? I seem to be able to turn on and off both consent and legitimate interests.

Obviously it does not matter what is printed on your SIM card, what matters is the service. But it is cool that you can order an @aaisp SIM card printed with your own choice of artwork!
I have only just discovered that in 2019 they officially banned the 24:00 โend of dayโ version of โmidnightโ. Iโm shocked as an amusing point of pedantry has now vanished, but in the long run it does completely clarify โmidnightโ by international standard now.
RT gcluley: Umm.. Twitter hasn't been shut down.
Why on earth would the President of the United States tweet that it has?
Read that again, the *President* of the *United States*.
Something here ain't normal.
Ha, nice one @Apple , selection an image with a QR allows you to link to QR now. Randall (@xkcd) is thwarted!
What! What sorcery is this? A reversible micro USB plug? It works! WTF?!
In every sci-fi that has people hooked up to some sort of suspended animation / artificial reality system, it is impossible to โun plugโ people without risking killing them. Future technologists please donโt have this stupid flaw. (Star Trek Voyager this time).
