03:18:35 <MrMobodies> Absolutely disgusting and going back to the 1990's similar with DIALUP UP PAYG or the Canadian Usage based broadband billing

03:29:04 <MrMobodies> To say consumers are savvy, then say the uneducated, effectively calling them stupid and confused that they need to be "educated" about usage based billing", "transparency of how and when they use the software" and "communication" when they could it before with none of that crap.
03:29:25 <MrMobodies> now isn't that contradictory.

03:30:13 <MrMobodies> if a customer needs time using a product and they start charging in ways where'd that cost a lot more, then they can't claim that is going to be value.
03:31:09 <MrMobodies> or "that it's fair and transparent excuse because you are paying per what you use"
03:31:27 <MrMobodies> it's not gas or electricity it's software

03:47:33 <MrMobodies> I bet one day, the stores will add an exclusion on returns and that'd be based on software and firmware with the argument that appliances were never returned on that basis before.

08:30:32 <MrMobodies> What a bl**dy joke.

14:52:16 <MrMobodies> Why is it hospitals and other institutes use this claim "we cannot comment due to confidentiallity" when the patient has effectively AGREED to it by going to the newspaper

14:52:40 <EEVBot> [url] Ayrshire couple slam GP practice amid claims cancer diagnosis was almost missed - Daily Record | www.dailyrecord.co.uk
14:53:40 <MrMobodies> "Due to patient confidentiality, we are unable to comment on individual cases"
14:54:03 <MrMobodies> Obviously trying not to cause further embarassment to themselves
14:54:51 <MrMobodies> but if it was a criminal and the criminal did something then they would comment
14:55:40 <MrMobodies> the criminal didn't have to consent and they'd say things about the criminal, whether the criminal was a patient there or not when they feel like it. Now I wonder how is that fair.
14:58:20 <MrMobodies> psychogenic, not able to book gp to get his prescription, it rans out, weeks later he goes mentally insane and smashes up his surgery, then they comment on his name. Judge tells them off but he gets 6 years for assaulting an emergency worker.

16:29:16 <steve30> i like the old metoffice page better
16:30:16 <MrMobodies> I was at the pub on Saturday, there were people in the back, very mild,
16:30:23 <MrMobodies> they were talking about the whether
16:30:35 <MrMobodies> over the next few days
16:30:56 <MrMobodies> when I opened that and saw that new design, I wanted to put my fist through it.
16:31:20 <MrMobodies> It was windy, I wanted to look at the wind and direction
16:31:52 <MrMobodies> oversimplified, dumbed down and they think I am so stupid I don't need to see those things
16:32:36 <MrMobodies> Someone may appear stupid but I still think they should still see all the information
16:33:01 <MrMobodies> for now it, coerces you to accept cookies to get the old design
16:33:28 <MrMobodies> https://weather.metoffice.gov.uk/forecast/gcrff0d1m?new-design=false
16:33:29 <EEVBot> [url] Yaxley (Cambridgeshire) weather - Met Office | weather.metoffice.gov.uk
16:34:33 <MrMobodies> I made a complaint to them and posted a link to the thread to show them the difference between the two because I don't think they have experienced the contrast side by side
16:35:03 <MrMobodies> https://www.eevblog.com/forum/dodgy-technology/badbloated-web-design/msg6082277/#msg6082277
16:35:04 <EEVBot> [url] Bad/bloated web design - Page 12 | www.eevblog.com
16:35:52 <MrMobodies> and that stupid animations of the clouds moving in the background for 5 seconds eats up 15% of cpu time.
16:37:23 <MrMobodies> I said in my complaint, why not go back to the old design and just reskin it but leave the numbers and statstics alone.
16:39:10 <MrMobodies> or even new design as a simplified version where it can be switched between the two
16:44:10 <MrMobodies> A quad post I350 will turn up today and see if that works
16:45:41 <MrMobodies> Dell OEM ones have Idrac linked firmware that seems to affect motherboards that are EFI. Surprising it will work fine on an old 2011 motherboard that don't support none of that crap, A Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB2
16:45:59 <MrMobodies> problem is not very power efficient
16:48:26 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/Dnkw8H9G/Dell-I350T4.jpg?dl=1
16:49:01 <MrMobodies> I was given that motherboard with some stuff a month ago. Owner said it would't upgrade to Windows 11.
16:49:40 <MrMobodies> it has an AMD FX4300
16:51:37 <MrMobodies> it's for a HP Thin client t730 to use a pfsense router.
16:51:44 <MrMobodies> oh night
