I love Costco here in the UK, but they don't do tech. AFAICT their Android app is just an awfully implemented webview, I can't change the email address associated with the account, they can't link purchases made with my card

Yep. They're not a must read like they were then, and like Computer Weekly were in the 90s, but I'm still glad they're around to provide slight balance to all the regurgitated press releases. Mike McGee was a legend.

I worked for a competitor to RR (Visionhire) when a teenager, BSkyB had started the first satellite TV series in the UK. Nobody wanted to buy it (why would I need more than 4 TV channels?) so they gave it free, including installation, for 6

IIRC, this was the first attempt by Hutchison Whampoa, a big Hong Kong company, to enter the UK. They gave up on this and eventually started Three, who are now one of the biggest mobile networks in the UK. I remember them trying to sell Rab

Reminds me of the first lockdown in the UK - I was on-call for a major food delivery service. We all went out at 7pm to clap for the NHS (which my NHS working family hated), and PagerDuty went off. Went inside, apparently UK traffic had dro

Had exactly the same issue. Jellyfish was very opinionated, Plex doesn't care.

Their point is that when they try and trade in their 3 year old truck which they got a low interest rate for a new one, not only is their truck worth bugger-all to trade in but their next interest rate will probably be doubled or more. Henc

They pay more than that in certain parts of the UK and US - didn't do it myself, but know people who did and they were definitely in demand.

I just started a new job, and am amazed that even though being the sort of company that don't like spending money, like the previous 3 they have GW and Slack. Does anybody at Google do anything other than throw stuff over the wall then

Each year there's at least one 'winter wonderland' where the only entertainment is watching underpaid Elves smoking cigarettes behind a bin. It's a tradition at this point.

That experience jars with me, would love to know who it was. Years ago I worked with a company that did the screens and compute for large bookmaker companies. Was in one of the client shops in London when a bomb went off. They immediately c

I left the company last April, but was there 5 years. It is definitely one of the busiest days on the calendar, along with New Year's Day, in the UK anyway.

Food delivery company I worked for, one of those mentioned, Valentine's Day was the second busiest of the year.
