Thanks @loafhome, really great to see that you’re doing your largest ever sale discount after I’d already placed a large order with you (but 1 day too early to get your sale price match). Really great way to treat customers, that £75 credit really makes up for the £850 loss

The end to end experience of a product / brand is so important. With Apple it starts even with the brown cardboard shipping box, how we extend this to digital products really interests me

I'm flying in Dulles next month. First time in the US in ages, and I was expecting some form of queue at the border, but not 90+ minutes, that's insane

I'd love this. Long flight times are one of the big areas in my life where it feels like we've just stopped advancing since the 1960s. arstechnica.com/science/2023/0…

Here's another story from the trenches of the internet. Last month, a fire in a rural area of South Carolina damaged one of the fiber links that connect Google datacenters (picture below). 100Tbps of capacity lost and restored in 12 hours!🧵

The news of Sir David Amess' death is so sad. We deal with many MPs and their staff every day and they really deserve so much more protection and respect

Interesting set of pieces over the weekend about the rise in MP casework. Whilst we have also added a lot of new users to our systems (not all MPs) since January 2020 we have seen a significantly increased load, particularly in terms of email sends as shown by this graph

This, this and this again, I would also add take literally years from identifying need to entering contract. Although I recently spoke with a public sector org that said they realised that they could no longer justify the cost of bespoke and may have to adjust their approach!
