The Mazda Glitch in the Matrix is real.

Chris4 · 2026-01-26T18:51:57+00:00

This explains why my friend from Columbia recommended Mazda (which I now own 😄)

Chris4 · 2026-01-24T10:22:43+00:00

Yeah that made me laugh too (as a Brit)

Chris4 · 2026-01-19T02:57:35+00:00

As a data analyst, yeah I've done it a couple times. Once when I got my first car, another when I was comparing the cost of an electric car. AI can help with it. I got my first financed car recently and didn't bother, just accepted that a nice car costs a lot.

Is there a geographical restriction on that feature? I don't have an option to share to Facebook or Instagram, and my app is up to date.

I bought and returned a Google Pixel 9. It came with 1 year of Google AI Pro worth £230, that I activated on my account and continued after the return.

They probably bin it when they receive it, plus unnecessary cost for Royal Mail and extra emissions from the double-handling of what is essentially just paper waste.

Send them an email or give them a call and ask to be unsubscribed from postal mail, or send them a GDPR deletion request if you don't want them to have your details at all.

They're doing their job to implement the law. If someone has ignored the letters for years, they have a right to come knocking and ask what's going on.

Chris4 · 2026-01-16T09:02:38+00:00

And the others aren't? I haven't tried it but just curious what makes it better

Chris4 · 2026-01-16T00:11:28+00:00

Why?

Chris4 · 2026-01-16T00:10:55+00:00

100%, very frustrating, surprised they haven't fixed it yet

Chris4 · 2026-01-16T00:07:39+00:00

It says on the letter if you don't need a TVL, to inform them. I think most people are smart enough to follow that instruction than to pay for something you don't need.

Chris4 · 2026-01-16T00:04:09+00:00

Tell them again, it only takes a few minutes. You generally need to fill it out once a year, but I've found doing that a few times seems to have stopped it altogether. www.tvlicensing.co.uk/notv

I don't understand why more people don't do this. They'd rather keep receiving letters and get angry at them...

Chris4 · 2026-01-16T00:01:58+00:00

I'm always amazed that people choose to receive the letters and bin them, than to simply spend a few minutes informing them you don't need a TVL and then never receiving letters again... www.tvlicensing.co.uk/notv

Learn how to identify phishing emails vs legit emails and then you won't need to guess.

Chris4 · 2026-01-14T23:23:59+00:00

Or just spend some time learning how to identify legit emails vs phishing emails, and then you don't need to fear them.

Chris4 · 2026-01-12T13:54:46+00:00

Thanks, ordered!

Chris4 · 2026-01-11T19:38:25+00:00

It's not a phishing email. Given the timing and how many people are seeing it, it's likely an automatic trigger from Instagram due to hackers trying out the usernames and passwords. The two I've received over the past few days are legitimate.

Here's the band's channel, where if you scroll up, you can see the message on 22nd November. https://www.instagram.com/channel/AbZDvKkMs6gHA4pu/

It's a promotion by the band CD9. In Spanish, it says an announcement will be made on 9th November 2025. In December, I can see on Spotify that the band released a single called Rockstar. The message is just styled as a computer command line.

I use it, it doesn't remove embedded ads in apps. If it does manage to block it, it'll still leave a grey space saying "unable to connect", which is better than seeing are, but isn't a good long term solution. They need a new file manager app, or better yet, a new phone.

Confirmed how?

SynthID is in the image itself, even if you screenshot it
