I’ve given up on AirBnB in the last few years. When I first started, you could get great places for cheaper than hotels and it felt exciting having a house to yourself. I don’t know if the novelty has worn off or if the quality has got worse, but the last few times I’ve used it I’ve regretted it. “Check-in” is never simple. Bad directions to the place. Bad communication leading to issues trying to get the key. Stupid rules like having to put bedsheets in the wash. Reviews can’t be trusted. And it’s not even much cheaper than hotels now.

This doesn’t go for every AirBnB, I’m sure plenty are great. But a lot of times you don’t want the uncertainty.

Fuck off clean shirt

Please tell me there’s something similar for 192.168.0.1

Interesting that this is “Livin the dream”. It happened at my friend’s workplace and the leading theory is that he did some diddling and is escaping the repercussions. Guess it’s a fine line…

And the amount of effort required to get a refund is ridiculous. Back and forth emails resulting in a cheque in the post 2 months later

Tall people are short people that are tall

Look at some UK new builds on Rightmove and you will delete this. 1 decent bedroom turned into 3 shitty bedrooms just to make up numbers. You can’t even fit a bed in them all

Modern idiot’s: here come’s an s!

I thought Americans used sq ft to casually describe houses? Please don’t switch to number of bedrooms. That’s what we do in UK and it’s led to house builders squeezing closet-sized bedrooms into a house so they can sell it as a 4-bed.

I didn’t say you’re chatting shit, I’m just commenting on what I saw.

She looks exactly like every other British girl that age. This proves nothing, you’re chatting pure shit

Have you seen the 1979 Mad Max film? He’s only mad for the final 10 minutes, he’s pretty chilled up until that point

Upset that “loop detected” isn’t the fat lööps cat

Straight up misleading. Mentioning AI in the headline and then sneakily switching to “the cloud” (i.e. most of the internet) when discussing figures. They say it uses a similar amount to commercial flights? Fine. Ground the flights, I’d rather have the internet a million times over.

😳 where might I find this Big Woman?

Git tracks changes for a folder full of code (aka “repo”) between saves (called “commits”) so you can revert back to previous versions. It’s intended for software but there’s nothing stopping you from using it for documents

We’d have a u in favourite.

I’m amazed this is law. It’s like Josef Fritzl charging rent for his cellar.

On top of this, there’s lots of ways that they would get the data without secretly listening to microphones, which people may not be aware of in all these anecdotes. In the one above, maybe just one party member googled lab grown diamonds, or perhaps messaged a friend on Facebook messenger about their trick. Not sure if that gets analysed for ads but it’s more plausible than mics. Anyway if they’re all on the same WiFi then they’ll probably be on the same IP and could easily be shown the same ads, making all party members now ripe for a diamond ad.

There’s a well known video of a guy saying “cat food” around his phone, and then his phone shows Google ads for cat food. He concluded that it was secretly listening to him, because there was no other way for Google to get that info other than to shadily tap into his mic. He performs this experiment on a live streamed YouTube video
