Lots of reward schemes, including those from @JohnLewisRetail, have free hot drinks as perks. The problem is that they never have alternatives for those of us that don't like hot drinks. I wish more companies used my personal data to understand that I think tea & coffee are awful

Meta made React and now half the web runs on it. I've always found its performance (and usually development) to be horrific. Here's a very simple low resolution picture sharing website on first load.

Yes, because in my experience most call centres can only handle the most basic of customer issues, and AI can help me with significantly more advanced problems before I require additional help. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…


I have some very expensive @netatmo temperature sensors but they need netatmo's servers to work for me to see my local temperature... Very poor design decision. Time to buy something else I guess.


You're late, @LEGO_Group - I've already had my two holidays this year. Now, if you mean it's nearly xmas... you're not wrong.

Firstly, I'm not installing an app to watch a video on a tiny screen when I'm sat in front of a 32" 4K display. Secondly, I can feel the pain of the production team knowing that @JohnLewisRetail is forcing their film to be watched on the worst possible display.

Do you think it's worth me filling in one of your forms for this, @ICOnews? @Experian_UK likes to send "service" emails (i.e. no unsubscribe) informing me of updates, but the link through has a requirement to install their app. I see this as disguised marketing for their app.

Just saw an ad on Instagram for @vinted and they had a guy selling Lego. No man had ever sold Lego. What kind of outrage bait is this?!


I know @ThreeUK is rolling out 5G everywhere, but I've lived in this area for 12 years and it would be nice to have acceptable 4G. Any chance of installing another mast nearby? This is what your coverage checker claims is "excellent".

I'm really quite disappointed that after cancelling an @iD_Mobile_UK 1 month rolling contract, I still have to pay two more bills.
