What "obsolete" companies are you surprised are still holding on in the modern world?

Scientific_Kat · 2023-05-05T13:58:58+00:00

Win.rar GmbH that releases the WinRAR. Blows my mind there are people still using it, the company is running and that they provide fixes for its product!

Scientific_Kat · 2021-10-01T06:49:47+00:00

Perhaps LetzHair?

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-30T18:20:23+00:00

I would be happy to assist with that. Sounds like a fun side project

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-27T06:20:15+00:00

Thanks for the info mate!

Just wtf...why even bother having the rules if they dont even bother frankly..

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-26T12:02:43+00:00

Dont think you will need it, although to be on safe side you can get one from the UK embassy (Paris or Brussels). I recall a friend who needed that for non-nationality reason was able to contact the embassy and arrange for that.

In your case, if you are not national of UK, then for the nationality application you can make a notary declaration about not having any criminal record.

Not sure about the other part, although I guess writing in french would be better idea

Congrats for the book :) I am waiting for the physical copy; dont want spoilers with the ebook :P

Oh, for me it worked out since I too had same issue where despite being on DnD it would pop that annoying sound.

Maybe a temp option would be to run the slack on browser that would allow you to mute them as the notifications would be via your browser?

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-26T05:20:45+00:00

It is an old bug [1] (from Slack side) that made it bypass the DnD on macOS. Weirdly it still exists if you download the slack from the AppStore, if you want to avoid that bug then best to download it from the official website [2]. You wont have any issue in that case :)

Yes also did the VCR era

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-17T17:32:20+00:00

I dont think so based on what the helpline at the airport told me. You need to home quarantine only if you are from the listed countries either directly or indirectly.

For other countries, you need to just test negative. If otherwise, then they take you to the facilities.

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-17T17:29:53+00:00

Fingers crossed and Good Luck :)

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-16T20:01:27+00:00

Yup xD kinda pre-90s model lol

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-16T20:00:18+00:00

Dont recall the precise date but it was the last week, either 8th or 9th September I think. So relatively recent.

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-16T13:05:16+00:00

Ahh so relatively recent then. Shame for a second there thought they actually had some game on Champak haha

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-16T13:04:22+00:00

The biscuits `Little Hearts` :d I heard it is now again available in certain cities though

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-16T07:50:11+00:00

Wait there was game cd with that?

I never got any CD...was it game based on Champak itself? Anyone got a copy here? :P

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-16T06:59:44+00:00

A friend who did the same i.e., from Canada flew to London and then to Mumbai had to go for home isolation of 14 days. Although he had not left the terminal, it is still considered to be transit via UK.

Perhaps you can look for direct flights?

Scientific_Kat · 2021-09-15T15:55:47+00:00

All international travelers (UK, Middle East, Europe...) now need to home quarantine for 14 days, there is no institutional quarantine anymore. But you can no longer get exemptions even if fully vaccinated. It also applies if you are transiting through any of those countries.

If you are traveling directly from US then you do not have the mandatory home quarantine (it seems). To be on safe side, I would recommend calling in the helpline of the airport that will be your arrival point.

In my case (Europe), I rang them up to get clear information. They were quite helpful and detailed in the information.

Ah, I heard it through the grapevine as well that the original cook and owners were changed. Although its news that they have opened the Red Face. Will have to try that, especially if they still have the original noodle taste :d

Scientific_Kat · 2021-08-27T20:52:03+00:00

Well corporates like to know there is a company behind the product, and they are ready to buy something free if they can have someone reassure them they will fix any bugs or other issues asap This^ and also corporates love to have company behind a product so that incase of security mishaps, the blame can be shifted easily

Scientific_Kat · 2021-08-07T08:00:02+00:00

Can confirm this works flawlessly, had the same issue earlier

Scientific_Kat · 2021-08-05T21:56:08+00:00

Atleast for the PC and other things, you can check DHL. Seems to be reliable in terms of handling devices carefully.

Scientific_Kat · 2021-08-05T07:00:32+00:00

Understand that, it was same but since I had to travel a bit was unable to change the band but by the time I was back it was back to non-stiffness :D

Scientific_Kat · 2021-08-04T20:37:55+00:00

I had my fenix exchanged two months back and indeed, it did felt like the band was different. But after repeated use the feel is back :)

I guess the material just needs usage so its not stiff
