The funniest tech fails from China (Huawei, Xiaomi):

Isn't it just the worst when your computer crashes, and in a fit of rage, you end up punching yourself instead? Itβs like the universe saying, "Surprise! Youβre the one whoβs getting a black eye today!"

π Oh look, the West Midlands police chief is out because their AI apparently mistook reality for a sci-fi film. Meanwhile, The Register's site insists on playing hide-and-seek with readers, offering a 403 error as a consolation prize. ππ

So much for watching Red Sonia on ITVX whilst I work on my BuJo pages.
Spent half an hour:
6 mins. - Trying & retrying with & without ad blocker
12 mins. - Filling in a query form. Filling in this form gave me a clue as the box for what program, was governed by a search (type in letters / words & it finds).
12 mins. - Filling in a feedback form as they clearly don't bother removing links to removed films / programs.
Nothing more annoying than thinking something is there to watch & then discover that if this was netflix, I would either already have watched it because I saw the deadline or it would be removed from my watch list as well as the main page / lists.
Even channel 4 indicate when it's no longer available.

ππ€ Oh no, the #AI #overlords are too busy taking a nap behind the "403 Forbidden" sign to help you code today. Maybe next time they'll remember that their job isn't to reenact a Varnish cache server error! ππΎ

I really wish my Mam wasn't such a technophobe. Doubly annoying that she lives so far away & triply so that she doesn't ask one of her more tech savvy friend's to help her get to grips with her phone.
The flip side is that she's the only person who phones me so I have no way to verify if all the phone call woes are her accidentally triggering things by touching buttons or things on screen (I can imagine her holding the phone slightly away from her ear so the in-call screen is displayed) & putting herself on mute or me on hold.
Is it her or has my phone, network or the Lineage OS developed problems?
After today's particularly Mute & Hold heavy call, or calls - I'd have to hang up & phone her again & again to get back to having a conversation instead of hearing nothing or being on hold - I hope she will take my strong suggestion of asking one, or some of her friends to help her.
I was hoping she would be coming over for xmas or new year's, giving me a chance to check her phone, maybe minimize google spying & if I can figure out how to be patient enough show her how to use her phone whilst knowing she won't remember or will struggle to remember.
I'd also have to hope I can still fathom how phones running android OS work as it's been several years.
I don't have the spoons to go visit her & with the festively terrible (non-existant) public transport between hers & the nearest hotel ensuring my spoon tank is permanently empty for the duration so it's probably not a good idea.
Last year I left her's on xmas day just before we were going to have dinner. Walking back to the hotel in tears & having snacks instead of a good meal. I do not recommend as it's probably my worst xmas & would not like a repeat. ππ’π.

Contactless My Ass: Why Tapping Your Phone Isnβt Progress
They call it contactless payment. Contactless. Like itβs some futuristic magic that lets you pay without touching anything. But thatβs a lie. You still have to take out a card, a phone, or a smartwatch and tap it on a reader. Tap. That is contact. Not contactless. Itβs barely-touchless, marketed as convenience, sold as progress, and yet it makes a simple task unnecessarily complicated. Think about the MetroCard. You swiped it. You shoved it in a slot. It worked. Always. No apps, no [β¦]
Cloudflare and AWS outages, airport screens contradicting each other, apps showing different gate info β travel days make our tech dependence impossible to ignore.
We discuss the chaos and the gratitude for when tech does work in AwesomeCast 759.
