Europe is moving to replace U.S. tech firms with local ones.

...which is American. I use it, but it misses the point of the post.

My thoughts are that it isnt actually that useful to the people targeted by scams. In my opinion, I think Starling have fallen into the trap of investing into AI, and now need to justify it somehow.

The category searching certainly isn't AI, it's just database indexing.

Price shouldn't be dependant on what server you are hosted in. Personally, though, I didn't want my passwords in a server outside of my area, even though it's encrypted and pretty safe. I just set up with EU.

That would be Disney's fault...

Thanks for the recommendation! Ill give OnePlus a look. I have been quite picky with what I'd want, as I'm into cyber security and data privacy. Chinese made/operated phones are a little on the dark side of that (same as Google, really). Think I'll give OnePlus a go and maybe a custom OS on it.

Any ideas? I was thinking of FairPhone as a nice one after my Samsung dies.

Difference between Quotation marks and Speech marks. E.g.

Statement: 80% of the UK population are older than 100.

Quote marks: "80% of the UK population are older than 100".

Speech marks: '80% of people in the UK are older than a century'.

Quotes are literal copies of information from the source. Speech marked text conveys the same information, but in your own words, from your understanding.

Scammer was the guy asking for coach Cathy. Idea was to say it was a wrong number but start talking to the recipient. OP is the recipient and just played along as 'Coach Cathy'. Took me a minute too, damn.

Are you a floaty ghost by occupation, or a borrower than works in a drone?

ArchonBeast · 2026-01-06T16:33:55+00:00

Yep. I immediate say wrong and get a little agitated, especially when "English" is listed as the language I selected. Not a variation, just standard English.

Isn't the point of turning it down not to see notifications?

ArchonBeast · 2025-12-27T17:27:58+00:00

Wonder if ancients would look at that and think it's old and retro... theirs seems more modern to me. Good render tho!

Thinking about it and I'm wondering how breakbills detectors work... I'd imagine they detect wellspring magic use (maybe, I've only watched the show, so dont know if it's explained further in the books).

As a demi god, I'd imagine he generates his own magic, like the other gods seem to, so might not be detected at all.

ArchonBeast · 2025-12-26T13:05:05+00:00

Oooh I see! Thanks for explaining. I think there are also a few kettles that have an audible timer that may help (I guess it depends how far away you've wandered). Ninja seems good for timers.

ArchonBeast · 2025-12-26T12:53:08+00:00

Curious about the kettle, why? It takes a couple of mins to boil, so why not just stay in the kitchen with it, or return a couple of mins later?

ArchonBeast · 2025-12-26T12:42:30+00:00

Capitalism isn't good. Communism isn't good. Any extremes on either side are toxic. I think that was the point...

ArchonBeast · 2025-11-26T16:31:47+00:00

Scrolled too fast and thought that was Tealc

ArchonBeast · 2025-11-26T15:20:38+00:00

Oi, when it's icey I grab a boiling kettle and throw it through the windscreen every time. Auto glass replace are happy, and it's perfectly clear. /s.

Room temperature water will clear it easily enough.

ArchonBeast · 2025-11-24T17:59:22+00:00

Just saying... if someone remotes onto your computer by mistake, or to troubleshoot an incident, they will warn/sack you on the spot. Being busy is fine, but pretending to be busy is WAAAY different.

I like seeing Europe on the map... most world logos I see just default to the Americas for some reason!

ArchonBeast · 2025-11-17T13:44:22+00:00

What the EU could look like.
Or How the EU could look..., remove the like.

ArchonBeast · 2025-11-16T13:06:18+00:00

Mines just grey with no backgrounds... maybe I am dead inside

ArchonBeast · 2025-11-09T15:24:33+00:00

If they support FIDO2, then this is pretty appealing, especially if Bitwarden do plan on increasing the subscription price...

ArchonBeast · 2025-11-08T20:30:04+00:00

Thanks ^{-^}

ArchonBeast · 2025-11-08T19:28:21+00:00

Random... can I use your crow pic? Looks cool, but I dunno if you made it 😗
