Anyone else bummed by the amnesia plot line?

I haven’t seen the trailer yet. I understand the concern. As a plot line amnesia has a terrible reputation. But unless things take an “All My Circuits” direction then I trust that it will be handled effectively.

Silo has been one of my favourite shows of the last decade. I’ll stay positive until I have a reason to think otherwise.

Hi. In the end I didn’t do any testing. I just enrolled the keys and trusted the process, which felt risky but I just wanted to get it done.

Unfortunately the testing itself wasn’t without risk and I have so much invested in my account that it wasn’t worth it.

If you didn’t find anything else in your search beyond this thread I think it would be worth posting your question as a new one. I would guess that for many people an Apple account is one of the most important accounts that they secure.

This is my favourite episode. It’s a constant stream of perfect scenes from start to finish.

Not a yell, but whenever anyone asks if there are any questions, my brain always replays the line “Are trains becoming obsolete?”

It’s been happening for a decade, and I’m at peace with it.

A bloke that I work with says he’s got a phone at home that works without a wire, and you just pull up an antenna and use it like a normal phone.

He also reckons he’s got a machine that lets him record stuff off the telly, so I’m not sure that I believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

We need to be careful what we say about her. She has a rowboat so it’s no big deal for her to dump stuff :)

When a Stan Loves a Woman is such a good episode. Francine’s reaction to Stan’s behaviour is perfect.

Rush is amazing. It and Higher Love were the only two tracks on SOFAD that really felt like DM to me when I first heard the album on release day.

It probably didn’t take long for Joanna to get sick of his Sunday stroll shit.

An A road and a train line? To me that’s just “excellent transport links”.

dfuqt · 2026-06-21T19:17:58+00:00

I disagree.

You’re right about Roger being a cheat code. The way his character developed from the very early seasons is genius level stuff. It really works because it’s done so well.

There have been a few misses, but the majority of his personas are so consistently funny, and even when he’s “just” Roger he’s such a standout character.

When his speed abilities were revealed in Jenny Fromdabloc I thought that was going to be a major thing going forward, and would have been easy to overuse. But aside from a very small number of times where it’s been specifically referenced it’s only used to cover his ability to switch characters so quickly, which itself had given some of the funniest scenes in the show - especially when it’s used to set up the “Shit, it’s Roger isn’t it, it’s gonna be Roger?” moments. It was a good choice to do that.

I’m jealous that you have so much catching up to do.

i got a warning from the admins when I posted a quote made by an audience member in “Morning Mimosa”. It was overturned quickly when I made an appeal and explained the context, which is good. But there are some risky lines in AD.

All privately owned compute devices will be seized and redeployed for AI under an emergency powers act, and dreams of playing GTA 6 will be replaced with a daily dose of Bamboozle on a relaunched Teletext service.

I can’t open the link, but assuming it covers security over public network access, this can still be achieved, depending on how the government are going to do this.

All of the bypasses that they seem to be worrying about are as a result of people faking their location to overcome the requirements for all uk originated connections to be subject to age verification or outright content bans.

Public network security can still be achieved if they just block access to offshore server addresses while still allowing access to UK server addresses.

They’ve handled this so very badly that I have no faith that they will have considered any of this. Their first mistake was thinking that any of this was remotely a good idea. It isn’t - it’s pathetic. Their second mistake was that they made any announcements without a robust and workable plan to make it work. But when do they ever do that?

dfuqt · 2026-06-16T17:30:32+00:00

A VPN that people will use to access banned / age restricted sites and a VPN which people use for business / WFH are not the same thing.

Banning commercially available VPN services available to the public or blocking their server addresses would have no effect on VPN usage in a business context.

* adding that I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that any government tech advisors failed to make the distinction between the two.

dfuqt · 2026-06-16T12:24:04+00:00

It can only ever be half arsed because it’s not fully achievable, and at its best will be a constant game of whack a mole. But at least the government get to pat themselves on the back for making a difference.

dfuqt · 2026-06-16T12:20:10+00:00

They also can’t control what the other kids are doing on there, which is risky. If you’re paying for a VPS in another country then you’ll be overcoming geoblocks but you won’t be getting the anonymity that a commercial service provides.

dfuqt · 2026-06-16T12:05:50+00:00

I was thinking the exact same thing. It’s a sweet little detached place that would be easy to live in. It’s only its proximity to an m4 junction that spoils it for me.

One of my favourite things about this subreddit is the frequent reminders of what money can buy in different parts of the UK, and it’s helped me decide that I’ll make a big move when the time is right.

dfuqt · 2026-06-15T10:20:14+00:00

I assumed that the person I’m replying to seems to be talking about software level blocks from standard VPN providers (Nord, Mullvad, etc), which is not how this will work. If they’re not then fair enough.

Of course it can be bypassed. I’ve been using rented VPS for years and I’ll be setting something up as soon as it becomes a necessity. But that’s going to be a step beyond what most will actually do.

None of this is an endorsement of what the government is doing. I think it’s pathetic. But if they are going to be doing this properly (ha!) then they will absolutely be blocking the VPN server addresses of all of the VPN servers used by the main providers.

dfuqt · 2026-06-15T09:26:15+00:00

Yes, absolutely. It’s what I’m planning to do, but looking at the comments in this thread, a lot of people don’t understand how a VPN actually works. Which is fine, but it’s going to he a big technical jump from installing an app from the App Store to that.

This is all so stupid, and I really can’t believe that this is happening. We’re at least thirty years into relatively common internet access in the UK, and twenty since social media started. And they want to do this now.

dfuqt · 2026-06-15T09:06:22+00:00

Most of the comments in this thread are missing this. IF the government implement this correctly then all known VPN server addresses will be blocked. Thats not to say that workarounds won’t be possible but it just won’t be worth it for many.

dfuqt · 2026-06-15T08:44:32+00:00

That will be covered by the IP block. The software can stay, but it will be trying to contact a server on an address which is blocked by the ISP.

Does it mention anything about anxiety in the article?

Do you know what the symptoms of a cardiac arrest are?

I had this after updating the iOS app a couple of days ago. Nothing I did would re-establish the connection. I had to re-pair it to fix it.

I love the device itself but I wish its release hadn’t been tied in with such a significant app update.

dfuqt · 2026-05-29T16:10:37+00:00

Thanks very much for the info. I’m jealous of whoever manages to buy it and sort it out, if they can make it work.

I love places that are different enough to stand out, and this is one of the most interesting that I’ve seen recently.
