  1. You're probably already keeping a detailed log of every incident, and recording evidence - keep doing it

  2. Go to the local council environmental nuisance team

  3. They provide a noise meter (or sometimes app for your phone) to record proof

  4. After a few incidents they can serve him with a noise abatement order

  5. If for some reason they won't, as long as you've followed the process above you can apply to Magistrate's Court directly for a noise abatement order and both parties will get summoned to put forward their sides.

Come to London, most people won't even give you a second glance, zero fucks given

I bought my iMac in March 2020... since then it's been powered down maybe half a dozen times (a couple of those were power cuts) and rebooted (outside of macOS updates) maybe ten times.

It just sits there reliably doing its thing and sucks little juice in power saving so πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Sentiment is fine, but it's still removing a choice (however misguided, in some people's views, that is) from the user

Not approving of any corporate behaviours here, but extracting the maximum price a market will bear has been the basis of pricing and supply/demand since such concepts existed which is at least 250 years.

In another study, the Pope was found to be Catholic.

Is anybody really that surprised by this...?

I'm surprised they think this is useful... if I've paused a video it's because I'm answering the phone or front door, making a coffee, going for a shit etc... I'm almost never going to see these ads πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Thing is how do you differentiate between a bunch of people who genuinely like a product and are happy to say so because it's solved a problem for them that they see other people having, and "subtle spam"?

For instance, I'm a Kagi subscriber and have been for some months now as it's doing a good job for me, and I've had the odd person leap down my throat accusing me of being a corporate shill etc, and I am absolutely not (but that's what a shill would say!!!)

How does anyone get a product recommendation from a product that's genuinely growing in popularity so people are recommending it? I get there needs to be a healthy dose of cynicism but where does the line get drawn to the point where that cynicism is no longer "healthy" and simply means everyone distrusts everything that's made by a company if somebody on the internet says it's good?

Where's the equal cynicism when somebody says something is shit and it could be a corporate shill from a competitor?

It didn't help they hadn't thought it through either... the game was for sale in countries where you can't get PSN πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
