Just need to drop in that we still had crank handle phones and party lines in the mid 80s ...
... that's NINETEEN 80s.
I shit thee not.Still had them for ages on Great Barrier Island..
I had a girlfriend on a party line in the early 90s, was much easier to talk with her when she was at boarding school than on that bloody shared line.
What was weird was that the area she was in is actually so close to the urban areas in HB.

It’s Norfolk. That is probably just some of the locals. -

Quick setting epoxy filler which isn't and disk-cloning software which doesn't.
Firstly. Currently waiting 3hrs for some 1 hr epoxy filler to set.....
Second, cloned a 512GB SSD to a 1Tb yesterday to find the fucking software creates a partition on the new SSD exactly the same size as the old one - 512GB. It then created and locked a new partition that couldn't be deleted in Windows Disk Manager. Had to dig out old DOS commands to delete the bloody thing.
Fire these pricks.

If someone could come along and translate this into English I’d appreciate it

I'm pissed off that quick- setting epoxy filler is taking over 4 hours to set.
And some software which promised to make installing a new hard drive easy turned out to be shit.
And the people who sold me this shit to me should be fired.

Starting a project with a new client and as part of the on-boarding, having to sit through a couple of hours of HR speeches. For some reason we've been lumped in with actual employees. And there's a DEI segment with what appears to be a young Elle MacPherson running it.
Just kidding. She looks exactly like you'd expect.
