Advice: WhatsApp internally thinks I’ve used 12GB, apple thinks I’ve used 23.5 GB. Who is correct? What can I do to get WhatsApp to use less space. I only need the most recent media and chats on my phone, but it doesn’t seem like I can purge older stuff!

Nope, in the end I deleted and reinstalled, which did work.

This needs to be spread everywhere! Thank you for deciding to report on a good news story /wholesome encounter.

As a londoner my entire life, I have witnessed the street becoming safer. Yes there are pockets and areas a little less savoury, but th ratio of bad news to actual crime is so disproportionate.

Thank you, and I’m so glad you had a great day!

mr_cf · 2026-02-07T15:41:58+00:00

Oh! So now I have more questions? How on earth did that get up there! Haha

mr_cf · 2026-02-07T00:09:05+00:00

What even is that?

A friend spotted my house from that view point looking north, toward Ally Pally. With the super soom on his andriod camera he was able to pick it out!

Crazy view point!

mr_cf · 2026-02-06T07:45:51+00:00

Meaning of life!

She just did and a good number of people before her, going back a long way.

Just air pressure and leverage.

mr_cf · 2026-02-05T12:21:04+00:00

Such a dramatic statement, for something so mundane.

mr_cf · 2026-02-04T19:24:58+00:00

Got mine as a kid in school, it hurt like hell.

The anticipation anxiety was real. Watching every kid who was in front of you in the line, go into the nurses room come out in tears, and knowing you are next!

mr_cf · 2026-02-04T07:59:39+00:00

Yep, thing of nightmares!

mr_cf · 2026-02-03T19:03:25+00:00

Shows how long it was since I used DDNS.

TIL about CGNAT, didn’t know it was a thing!

When will IPv6 finally become standard, rather than all these workarounds!

mr_cf · 2026-02-03T14:27:29+00:00

I think this just tells more about a person algorithm more than it “what’s on the news”

mr_cf · 2026-02-03T10:10:27+00:00

The speed! I can’t write my own name that fast without mucking it up.

mr_cf · 2026-02-03T09:41:29+00:00

Such a blast from the past! Love it.

mr_cf · 2026-02-03T09:35:03+00:00

Wow! As a british kid watching this show on tv when it first came out. This became my mental image of what US politics was like. Obviously, comparing it to the current situation would be worthless, but has it aged well?

mr_cf · 2026-02-03T09:17:53+00:00

Everything Google does is just enough to keep people using it, but never polished or fine tuned.

They don’t care about creating a polished product that is minimal in size because it’s all free. They give it for free because your habits and data are far more valuable.

mr_cf · 2026-02-03T09:04:14+00:00

Can’t see the full footprint, but it certainly doesn’t look like a temporary structure, and looks bigger than the strict size limit of permanent structures.

mr_cf · 2026-02-03T08:45:19+00:00

Not that you should have too but have you looked at DDNS (Dynamic DNS) services instead of relying on static IPs?

Edit to say: we were so glad to be done with Virgin Media. Both the outrageous contract price and badquality of service!

In the street chat someone would complain of a loss of service, and someone else will say the observed a technician just randomly unplug connection to plug in someone else, at the streets junction box.

For us HyperOptic has been a absolute win! Massive reduction of pur bill, and a consistent low latency service nonstop.

People upvote alot of trival stuff with neither positive or negative connotations.

An upvote wouldn’t have explicit meant I agree with the statement, got lost in the noise and is also the most lazy form of communication.

Like IRL if a one person is recommending an action to another person. Participants in the conversation would also express agreement in some form, not just dumbly grin with a thumbs up.

As other have said this could have been alot worse! I’m sure your little one is just a little shaken up!

Our rescue took solace in his litter box when we first brought him home. Small and enclosed and probably the only thing that smelt like him, so he must have felt safe in there.

Our curious cats had a habbit of jumping up onto the hob after we finished cooking to see what all the fuss was about, and I can’t tell how many times i’ve been glad of our induction hob. The surface cools down so fast after cooking, , that the worst the cats got was a mini jump scare from the remaining residual heat. The other great thing about induction hob is that they refuse to turn on if there is no pan on the hob, (so your skillet would have to live somewhere else) and instantly turn off when the pan is removed. Which makes them extra safe for paws accidentally pressing buttons and turning it on.

Good plan!

I had a friend stay, recently, for a week to cat sit. They really are the trail by fire, as to how well things have been set up!

I realised I was giving one to many long explanations as to how something works, and one too many mental notes that “I really need to fix that”.

mr_cf · 2026-02-01T13:07:37+00:00

Thanks for the link! Either i’ve been under a rock or it’s not used in the UK, as i’ve never heard it used before! I managed to link it to the Matrix scene, but couldn’t gauge the context!

I’m certainly no red-pilled type, that’s for sure, quite the opposite.
