I know, I will use Likewise's AI search assistant to recommend some murder mystery series for my girlfriend and I to watch together on Disney Mouse:

Pretty accurate results: absolute mystery why anyone would watch those Percy Jackson films. They murdered him, according to my son.

@StillIRise1963 My wife will never know that feeling. She invested in a Hus-Bot™️.

(She’s actually a bit phobic about fishing out ‘bits’ in sinks and drains. We have silent agreement that it’s my job, which I respect. )

I replaced 2 cable boxes for my parents this morning. I couldn’t take the new remotes because they’re black with tiny buttons that my parents would never be able to see.

Don't get me started at the lunacy of remotes.

Designed for Gamers, Operated by Seniors. Not a match made in heaven.

@StillIRise1963
🧵Here’s my exclusive design for a workable seniors’ remote.

Arrived at after years of hair pulling and button obscuring.

TV has a monster YouTube* playlist of all her musical bangers playing (auto-play On). Via a Apple TV (Or Chromecast)

The green button simply turns on/off the screen and sound, but doesn’t stop the video device playing.

Fail safe!

blabberlicious,
@blabberlicious@toot.community avatar

@StillIRise1963
2) EVERY manufacturer should be FORCED to provide a pared down remote with their TVs & Boxes, that doesn’t have enough fucking buttons to control a space shuttle.

*YouTube “free” amounts to psychological torture for seniors. Don’t subject them to it. A shitshow of incomprehensible random ads does not induce happiness.

So little consideration for what we all will eventually need.

I rarely drive. I had to drive across London today. Main thought, was how utterly filthy the whole place looks, everything caked in grey dirt - thrown up by a bazillion cars.

Going through Tooting, there where Susana Hill Anti Ulez Plackards taped to junction railings.

They were filthy, too.
Perhaps more so. 😕

It's Thursday so here's a throwback to my Taskmaster poster, along with a few process pics 🖤 ❤️

A process pic of Greg and Alex's heads
Another process pic of Greg and Alex, now given bodies and added to a red clay background. Alex needs his beard added and at this stage looks a bit like Paul Heaton (who I also love)

Anyone want a MacPro 3.1 2008 Tower?

Free to collect in the next 4 days from Wandsworth, South West London.

I wish they made them like this again. Absolute workhorse. 🥲

I tweeted away all my sound recording equipment for free.
Including Akai s1000 Samplers.

The young chap who collected was monosyllabic. He complained that he didn’t have anything to cary away with. 🤷

Didn’t say thanks.

Later than day, saw him in Twitter, flexing to his mates about how he had nabbed a ‘monster set’ up from an old gezzer (53).

I lit up his feed like a Christmas tree 😡

Watched ‘Blackberry’ this evening. Not a great movie, but entertaining, and with some amusing twists along the way. As someone who has some small knowledge of the area of mobile development (and Blackberry devices), it’s an interesting nerd movie too.

I'm genuinely ashamed of myself.

I don't share political views with the conservatives on the SCOTUS, but I was under the shameful misapprehension that they were not unintelligent men, that they were capable of rational thought.

But I was wrong. Because not a single one of them managed to figure out that a President who is immune from prosecution for assassinating a political rival cannot possibly HAVE a congress who might impeach him. Do they imagine congresspersons do not fear death?

@Remittancegirl
I was talking to my cousin about this. He visited me from Argentina last week. He’s a lawyer and got into politics for four years. He said people entering politics usually had principles they wanted to see enacted, and ambition.

But after four years, he was exhausted. The only people left around him where the crazy ones, who only had ambition - and nothing else.

Where we are at.

blabberlicious,
@blabberlicious@toot.community avatar

@Remittancegirl
Yeah. There are some exceptions. I worked for Sadiq Khan’s London Mayoral campaigns While he’s not perfect, I do feel he’s tried to maintain the principles that he started out with. Air quality and fighting back the scourge of cars.
Another MP I did work for, who is also an A&E doctor with two kids, said being an MP is a job for the insane, or the insanely ambitious.

Somewhat naïvely, I used to go along with the idea that British politicians should be paid more along the lines of their American counterparts.

To lessen the incentive to grift.

What was I thinking?

Anyone surprised?

Tesla autopilot recall under scrutiny:

https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/04/feds-concerned-some-of-teslas-autopilot-recall-was-opt-in-reversible/

"Today, we've learned that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is concerned that Tesla's massive recall to fix its Autopilot driver assist—which was pushed out to more than 2 million cars last December—has not actually made the system that much safer."

@StillIRise1963
That’s a fair minded take. Agreed.

Comes down to inadequate training and poorly laid out medical records. Those things can be a mess. Everyone needs to know patient x has dementia. Clearly.

During a really horrible late night episode in accident and emergency, I popped out for minute, only to find a doctor discussing “end of life do not resuscitate” preferences with my utterly confused mum.

I almost created another accident IN emergency 🚨

Junior doctor, probably doing an exhausting nightshift. Looked at her stats and thought she could cut to the chase.

I gave her some guidance. As gently as I could (not very tbh)

Also: she was from Andalucia, so she gets pass from me. 😉
