In case anyone from the UK needed another reason to prostrate themselves before the altar of Scandinavian interior design and foodstuffs this weekend, IKEA UK now sells the double hotdog at the exit bistro.
I was with them for two months before I had to move out of their area and I genuinely miss it. I was only on their 150Mb/s service but I can't begin to articulate how fast it actually felt. With FTTP the boost isn't in the bandwidth (though you do get that) but the latency. You can tell when you're getting sub-millisecond responses. I'm now stuck with Virgin Media's 250Mb/s service and it's a total downgrade.
In fairness I never had any technical issues with YouFibre so I can't tell you how good that side of their business is, but the installation was totally smooth sailing and the people I spoke to during that process seemed really informed and we're very, very helpful. When I had to cancel because I was moving out of network they weren't awkward or stubborn about it. When I move next it will definitely be to an address with FTTP, and I would rejoin YouFibre in a heartbeat if I could.
Variable speed limits just keep the road ticking over and they're great. In the UK there were a bunch of highway improvements being rolled out, like reversible lanes, traffic flow monitoring and, yes, full-time variable speed limits and they all worked really, really well. But they also got rid of the hard shoulder (refuge lane) and the whole thing was collectively referred to as "smart motorways". Needless to say that lots of people were injured or killed by the lack of hard shoulders, so now the government is poised to announce a rollback of all the smart motorway measures, including the absolutely superb variable speed limits.
Your phone has a feature called Work Profile that can be used to isolate your personal and work apps from each other. Normally you need to sign in to a company-specified app like Microsoft Company Portal to activate Work Profile, but Shelter is a simple, open-source app that will do it instead.
Sometimes people use an AI to help them make a video. AI is short for Artificial Intelligence and is popular now and for the future. A huge amount of computers and money are being used to create AI, often with the help of Artificial Intelligence. Many believe AI will be the future of creative output and helps creators to make their content and worms. This has made some unhappy and excited. I am in pain. When AI is used to automate content creation the audience often reacts negatively to the generic and rambling contents that the Artificial Intelligence created to automate content creation. AI can be used to make workflows more effective and to identify worms. There are many Artificial Intelligences that you can interact with such as ChatGPT, Bard, Dall-E, Amazon, Google, EBay and worms.
If you live in the UK, Lidl sells an excellent cola called Freeway. Their Freeway Zero is better than Pepsi Max or Coke Zero, IMHO, and literally one-fifth the price.
I've no idea if there's some weird connotations and I'm assuming that's pronounced riz-coch... that's not a bad name. Little Rizscoch, the walking rice cake.
