Aye but at least in the olden days they came with driver discs in the box so you at least just had to wait for it to install instead of going to an already internet connected device download the driver, put it on a usb then install it. Bloody palaver!

I drive home on the a483 and a470 through mid-wales today.
It was glorious- hardly any traffic for most of the way. It was like being in a car advert

I can't decide if I'm going to be awesome today or super awesome today.

Right, I’m off to replace an AMD Epic CPU at AMD’s new UK office. Honestly can’t make this job up sometimes lol

That seems a bit odd? There’s not a single person in AMD’s office that can do this task!?

It’s all under warranty and to be fair the AMD chap did do a lot of troubleshooting before logging it.
This server is dead, like it’s had an EMP blast take it out.

Having an interesting discussion with packlink about an item which I sent that was damaged by the courier. According to them as it is more than 20 years old it is an antique. I think they take their policies from Leonardo DiCaprio.

Wife: "My mum has invited us to hers for lunch today. She says you'll need to bring (long list of tools)."
Ah, I love weekends.

I got an email from the salesman at the car dealers where I bought the car five years ago... saying the car is getting old and don't you think its about time you thought about buying a new one? Come in and lets talk about it.
Unsolicited emails from spammers is one thing but retailers where you bought something years ago personally contacting you for something you have absolutely no interest revisiting is quite another. I've lost count of the amount of times I've hit "unsubscribe" to the various email offers and other crap they sent me but personal emails from salesmen is the last straw, blocked the entire domain. Do not, under any circumstances, give a valid email address to anybody you don't think needs it. And I mean, really, doesn't need it.

Cat's leg hole is below.
Ugh. I once saw an abscess bigger than a golf ball pop on a pony: not good and it looked like custard. The smell hung around for days...

Doesn't that need dressing and bandage for a week so it doesn't get infected?

The vet has given us antibiotics and one of those hilarious collars to stop him licking it.

Do those ever stay on? I've never had a cat who couldn't get out of them within a day.
