I’m not sure if I want to put my hopes for affordable electronics in manufacturer’s accidentally oversupplying due to the US tariffs!

You don’t understand though, by being visionaries who disregard accepted margins of safety, they lowered the cost per (attempted) launch by almost 3%!

And the SM57 for things you don’t need a screen on.

A discussion on the other site claimed that the fuck-up was in the copy that Universal sent to Mattel.
And that wrong websites frequently end up on packaging in other industries.

Mattel seem to be doing the sorry-dance for it, so no idea if it’s true. Though I’m sure Universal would be very keen to not be involved.

I once changed a friend’s autocorrect from “regards” to “lots of love”.

And I somehow managed to keep my mouth shut long enough for a lecturer to get a very funny email.

Somebody should make a microsite with this graphic that updates every time there is an election.

Awesome work, thankyou for taking the time to do this.

I too love a metal USB stick for the keychain, and my old DTSE9 could do with a refresh!

I can only speak from a UK perspective, but most home ADSL/VDSL/Fibre providers don’t have limits, other than “if your usage is tanking the network, we’ll ask you to knock it off” type clauses.

Most providers are also signed up to an agreement that if your speed drops 50% below the agreed speed on the package on average, they’ll either give you refunds, or let you out of the contract.

The only ones that throttle are the bargain basement operators aimed at people who don’t care, and one otherwise very competent provider that for some unexplainable reason only gives 1TB by default, charging an extra £10 for 10TB.

And I guess there is also a pricing step up to guaranteed bandwidth. For business use, they tend to be things like 1gbits headline, 500mbit guaranteed burst, 100mbit guaranteed sustained.

“Wololo”

“Diddja laak tha’?”

I had someone arrive at a BBQ, saw me frying some onions, and ask “Are you going to caramelise those onions?”

Yes mate. The onions I’m frying for a few minutes while the burgers cook, gonna be nice and caramelised in seconds, just you watch.

He’s having a little more fun in the original.

That doesn’t sound very typical.

The only thing I can see really shifting it, is people saying they’ll support trump to stay in with their communities, then making excuses why they stayed home on election day.

And if I’m honest, that’s a hell of a hail mary pass.

Because if they remaster it, they can also remaster the price.
Which is probably why they’ve pulled all the old versions.

Kinda like the BeltBox, but less brightly coloured.

Must be the fracking residue in the water.

This is an absolutely brilliant summary.

It’s only Virgin Media to my knowledge who does this.
Most of the other providers are happy for you to use anything that works properly for VDSL or FTTP.

Most FTTP providers fit an ONT that puts the connection back into an RJ45 ethernet connector.
Then you connect to the provider using PPPOE. Anything past the ONT, you can do whatever you like.
