Someone I worked with signed every email with "rgrds", and he was in a customer service role. As well as not being a word, it just says "I can't even be arsed to add two vowels to write a word properly".

How about having ‘KR’ (for ‘kind regards’) in an email signature? It’s not even like you have to type it out over and over it’s in the chuffing signature!!

iPads do not have a calculator. All mobile devices pretty much evolved from a calculator, but in Apple land, no.

Think this was resolved in OS18

I wonder if I'm on an older version. I've noticed the battery life is suddenly worse. This happened with my old one. I had one update and suddenly the battery life was shot. Then a few months later, the last IOS update dropped it to ZX Spectrum speed.

When did people smoking weed so blatantly in public become a thing?

 

[Cheese n Ipa]

Silly question but did you try having your ringtone on loud but phone on Do Not Disturb when people tried to ring?

Nah. Its an issue with android phones

Been a thing for years, pre covid it was creeping in but lockdown made it explode, its worse in other places than up here I'd say.

Had one here recently on every bus stop, werbesäule and notice board. Was a local nightclubs big annual party thing in the March of 2020 - corona lockdown came obviously stopping it taking place. Their posters were everywhere until the first post-corona version of the same event in March this year. Was a really weird dystopian reminder of those times.

I was at the Grindon Health Centre for an x-ray at the end of last year.

They had a poster up about the spread of Covid in Italy. Useful health warning.

iPads do not have a calculator. All mobile devices pretty much evolved from a calculator, but in Apple land, no. You can install one of many calculator apps, but they are all either paid for or make you sit and watch 3 adverts before you can do your quick calculation. It is easier to get the Casio I have had since my A-levels.

Use your canister

Is there a person on planet earth who doesn’t know how to leave a voice mail?
Yet we still get after the personal voicemail message “please leave your message after the tone. When you are finished you may hang up.”

Thanks for that I was planning on sitting listening to an empty line for a few more minutes just to pass the time.

When listening to a voicemail, having to listen to the computerised voice reading out the number in full before the actual message is played.

Who on earth phones people these days?!

People who say stuff like “Who uses cash these days?” or “Who watches Tv News these days?” or “Who on earth phones people these days?” are really f***ing annoying.

On a similar note when you phone up a company and go through the gymnastics of press 3 for this etc then you get to an audio message "you can find this in our website double yew double yew double yew British gas dot Co dot UK"

Yep thanks. Hadn't crossed my mind.

I’m on my iPad now. It’s an iPad Air 4th generation. I have a calculator on my Home Screen. Alway have had. (iOS is 17.6.1 atm so not even up to date)

Just checked, there’s an advert in the top left corner. Dunno what for, didn’t look at it. Never do

On a similar note, when you get a recorded message:

"Please say, in a few words, how we can help you today"
"I want to speak to a human being"
"Sorry, I didn't understand your request"

Just f***ing put me through to someone.
