Try getting arthritis meds in a child proof container! Almost impossible to open even if your hands do work properly. Repeatedly ask to put in normal screw cap bottles but they never listen.

I also keep a windows boot around just for updating my tomtom wirh map updates. Tried under Linux but the mydrive software just will not work. If anyone knows how to update a tomtom rider 400 under Linux, let me know.

Attribution please. Is this a Tom Gauld cartoon?

Awesome! Pi5 replacement incoming then :)

Can it decode x265 as my pi4 media player struggles with that and only plays the audio stream? So x264 is my current preferred format but comes in at much bigger file sizes.

Currently reading The Flying Sorcerers by David Gerrold & Larry Niven. About 1/3 way through and not sure what to make of it so far. Very strange!

Loved that series. Must read it again soon!

And don't forget the rootkit debacle.

I'm on ps5 but the upcoming psn price hike is putting me off after reluctantly paying it the last 2 years. A steam console (I think I saw 'leaked' recently) sounds ok if it can play GOG/owned stuff too.

Agreed. UK's NHS is a poor shadow of its former glory due to Tory/right cuts and desperation to privatise. And just a decade ago the (IMHO awesome) 2012 Olympic opening ceremony showing our thanks and respect... 😭

Ignoring people!

Grumpy, Doc, Sneezy, I definitely forget the rest though.

In the UK you might say a sheepish hello to the person(s) next to you in the waiting room but never to the whole room, that would be... uncomfortable. It might also prompt a conversation when you just want to ignore the world until you're called.
