Native bluetooth trackpad would be nice too.

All I will say is: wait till it encounters a Scottish accent. Sigh

All the more reason for them to be transparent, name the problem, remove the affected stock from sale, set up some kind of recovery and/or compensation service, and write off the loss. Otherwise "SanDisk" will mean "you have shit on your shoe" forever. In the storage space a brand has to mean "safe" or its dead.

Maybe they are still finding the edges of the problem. Maybe.

Welcome to your self-wiping stock price WD.

Surely they need to be completely transparent at this point to avoid the Ratners effect? I am certainly never buying SanDisk / Western Digital labelled storage ever again and I will be researching carefully next time I need storage to make sure I don't buy relabelled stuff.

I currently have SanDisk microSD cards in my DSLR so I will have to think about getting a different manufacturers card in there and saving to both in parallel just in case. I might just bin the sandisk card just to be sure, though. Their name is in the gutter already - do they realise that?

Some are just a long con.

I really hope Elon starts complaining about his baby being deadnamed in the media.

The only government department that actually listens to us when we pick up the phone.

I hear you all about having nice, starchy pasta water but it is important to have enough water that the pasta can move around freely or else it can end up being cooked unevenly. I think that's probably where the water ratio recommendation comes from.

Dilution will kill Reddit. Wait until the AI scraping gets into a feedback loop with AI posting.

I said "stay" eight hours ago and he's still there though.

 
 

Late last summer I saw this tiny weed in amongst some nettles and dandelions. It wasn't faring too well but it had a few beautiful, floppy white flowers so I took a photo and looked up what it was. Turns out it was a solitary Common Mallow that had somehow found its way to us. I certainly hadn't seen any around our place before so I decided to get the rest of the weeds out and nurse it through the winter.

One winter and one exuberant puppy later it had made it to the Summer. It is now just under a metre tall and has a huge number of flowers thar are just starting to bud. I'm going to let it go to seed and see if I can get it growing round the back, which is just loose stones on an unmarked farm road.

My neighbour is hosting a potluck shindig for her husband who passed away so I am making bolognaise.

I also have pizza dough that I made yesterday in the fridge and I'm roasting tomatoes right now to make a nice sauce to go on them.

Cooking makes me happy.
