I've been listening to the @virginmedia on-hold Jazz music for over 20 minutes (so far), and it's really starting to grate.
Also, it's *really* unnecessary to tell me every 10 seconds that the lines are busy; I already deduced that!

I'll hold my hands up and say I'm no Python expert.
So, can someone explain this?
I type quit, and Python understands I want to quit, but tells me to type quit() rather than exiting.
Explain to me why this is not the dumbest response possible.

Please, please @ubuntu, either make snap work so I can access files in the current directory or do away with it completely. It is utterly useless as provided.

Genuine question: What is the point of the Snap package manager on Ubuntu?
I installed an app that is so sandboxed that it can't access files in the current directory, which is essential for it to work.
Genini suggests I run it via a trusted Docker image.
WTAF?

I'm rapidly discovering that the only way to use artificial intelligence effectively is if you have real intelligence...

Outstanding customer service from @porterairlines.
I fly from Ottawa to New York tomorrow and have checked in.
To access my boarding pass, I need your mobile app.
This isn't available to someone from the U.K.
Why not?

How can a 27-slide PowerPoint presentation be 11.8MB?
I deleted every slide with a picture (not many), and it's still 6.8MB.
While I'm at it, what moron in the Microsoft UI group decided to relocate the compress picture option?

Hi @aixenergy.
Can you tell me how I can unsubscribe from your spam emails that I never signed up for?
I have used the link that claims to unsubscribe me, but it doesn't. I even tried sending a direct email to spam@aixenergy.com, but that also failed.
JUST STOP SENDING ME SPAM!

I was yesterday years old when I discovered that it's a *really* bad idea to remove the Python package from your Ubuntu installation.
An awful lot of stuff suddenly stops working.

Great job @uber!
Arrived at Heathrow Terminal 4 and none of your instructions for pickup are correct. App is wrong, website is wrong.
Amazed if you get any business from here.

This quote is from an article in @computing_news (computing.co.uk/news-analysi…).
How can anyone look at that and see any sense in it?

This is the clearest explanation of AI and what it really does I have seen.
Everyone needs to watch this, then spend some time reflecting on how you both perceive and use AI.

How does @Apple, @AppleMusic have so little understanding of how people use music?
I have created playlists on an iPhone and want to export them. Just the playlist, not the music, so I can recreate it elsewhere.
It seems easier to send people to the moon than to achieve this!

Having studied Physics at University, I am genuinely impressed that @Flighty believe we can taxi back in time.
More details are required.
