Is it a bad sign when your hygienist doesn’t even bring it up anymore? 😅

“How’re your teeth?” “Well…I’ve been trying to-“ “Right…have a seat.”

You know what really irks me? Lately people are using the terms “website” and “app” synonymously and there’s just no reason for it.

I was on the phone with customer service for my grandmother a few weeks ago, and the agent on the phone kept saying that my grandmother needed to go “on the app” to set her router name. I went three rounds with the agent explaining that my 94-year-old grandmother didn’t really have a phone capable getting to the app before I realized that the agent meant website, but was still saying “app”.

The improper usage of the words is far more an issue than the discussion about whether JavaScript is creating an application experience that is no longer a “website”.

I get that my generation is aging out of the “target audience” for tons of things, but I’m willing to stand my ground on this one til the day I die. An app and a website are two different things. 😡

How was that change? I’m thinking of doing the same, but it requires a power supply update too, so I’m on the fence.

You shag one ghost and you’re tagged for life!

Contact centers are customer-“facing” despite not being physically present. Ask anyone who’s worked in a call center; it’s the same PTSD as those who’ve worked retail in a store.

Some contact centers have forced their staff back into the office post-Covid, but the contact center is an entry-level job and there aren’t a lot of reasons not to allow that job to remain remote.

The ring came off my pudding can!

Who could have imagined that this might happen?

I mean, yeah there’ve been dozens of articles from unbiased analysts suggesting that GM was not in a position to take on this task, especially since Apple CarPlay and Google Android Play have already accomplished what’s necessary and are available to nearly 100% of GM’s customers, but a company the size and scope of GM couldn’t possibly be expected to listen to any of this analysis over these many months.

“Hey Siri! Apply brakes!”

“Brakes app is not installed. Would you like me to install it now?”

Their lower level employees. Despite record profits and despite the fact that these decisions are mandated by C-suite executives, these fines will “require” layoffs to appease the shareholders.

They could just accept that their practices are corrupt and actually change, but that’s not as easy as just laying off several thousand of the ordinary workers who do most of the work.

I’d love this. Musk doesn’t have the money to buy Apple and do to it what he did with Twitter.

Perhaps I just don’t understand why there is such an allure for Android users to gain iMessage…

If they don’t publicize, they won’t make any money.

piracy or old-school Netflix DVD delivery gives you all the options.

Netflix cancelled their DVD service in September. In an entirely unrelated move, I have recently cancelled my Netflix service…

This has nothing to do with Riker.

Oh, that’s just lovely.

I’m sure this won’t have a major ecological impact, right? Right…?

Ensign Ro was in that one episode before being Ro.

I could have looked her up, but my phone was more than an arm’s width away, so I gave up easily.

It’s always better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
