@mavica oof yeah, I had a really hard time with those

although weirdly I was always fine with like, mumble or discord or stuff so I managed to trick myself out of it by doing all phonecalls with a headset for a while

still don't know how that worked

@mavica he's right up there with richard dawkins

which gives me another opportunity to share my favourite article concerning dawkins

"British scientists don't like Richard Dawkins, finds study that didn't even ask questions about Richard Dawkins"

ah yes, easter

an appropriate tale for this time of coronavirus

the story of everyone being confused seeing some guy walking around when he was definitely meant to stay the fuck inside

@mavica that's super cool

@mavica isn't that the bit you made your own cables for?

🦔

This is going to be a "sam gets entirely hacked off at tech day" I'm sure of it

Stuff that's been having problems:
Trackball
Answer Machine
Laptop webcam

If that printer so much as looks at me funny today I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD I'LL *angery octopus noises*

@shonalika yeah

I'm sure it's similar to a stress headache or summat

@mavica I keep on interpreting these as like, mavica beep codes

@mavica I love older tech with those brushed metal faceplates

@mavica also us in europe have FFP2, AS/NZ has P2, Korea has "1st Class", and Japan has DS

'cause fuck ISO or something I guess

@mavica yeah, KN95 is the chinese test spec, which is mostly the same but very slightly different pressure drop requirements

still the same effectiveness though

@SammyFisherJr queenscreen

@woozle three wolf moon will always be a classic tshirt design

@InspectorCaracal it even got a sequel!

I still have no idea how that happened

The Queen did her speech to the nation while wearing green

This has resulted in exactly what you'd expect

(collection of images follows, all showing the Queen photoshopped to be wearing various t-shirts)
