@vmlemon @PayPal I'm having similar issues - hopefully it's just a glitch..

Wondering what's going on, with withdrawals, to Revolut, and Santander accounts, from @PayPal, given they don't appear in my linked accounts list, or are "unauthorised for withdrawals", and the "instant" option is missing. Never had an issue, in ~20 years, with PP until now...

@vmlemon Not a fan of UMTS. It was a big step up from GPRS obviously, but won't be sorry to see the back of it.

And, it seems it's not *completely* dead, since there's some vestigial coverage, near the town centre. I wonder if O2 are just letting it naturally die, in places where stuff doesn't depend on it?

@vmlemon GSM is used by a lot of M2M applications where SMS or GPRS suffice, e.g. vending machines and parking meters, and vehicle trackers. Simpler, lower cost, lower power and better range. It will be a tough one to turn off!

And, on the 15th of July, 2025, after 11:33pm, in Reading, Berkshire, one of the last UMTS (3G) cells, in the area, was quietly decomissioned. Somehow, this moment slipped by, unnoticed, but it feels strange, to realise that 1991's GSM has outlasted it, CDMA, TETRA, *and* DAB.

Wondering if Stratus OpenVOS installation media was ever dumped, or released into general circulation, since I'm trying to hunt down some header files, containing information, on the structure of program module files, above the limited amount, in the GCC port release...

Apple has been secretly ordered to create an encryption back door for UK spying. If implemented, the secret order would give the UK access to encrypted backups belonging to any user — not just Brits 😲 theverge.com/news/608145/ap…

I was really curious as to what the FUCK that Finder was and whether you could potentially run it on a modern Trinity desktop, as it's based on KDE 3.5, and I was fairly sure that this was just homemade since it's such a close replica of the Finder ...it's not it's fucking…

At least they repaid my train fare, after wasting my time, but it's still pretty shoddy, and dodgy, that they can get some agency to misrepresent their organisation, in the hopes of hooking desperate folks...

And, the UK job market, and Indeed.com is even more of an absolute toxic cesspool. Was invited to an interview, for a "customer services"/"admin" role, today, for a non-existent company, that was a bait-and-switch, for another firm's 100% commission marketing role...

Surprised, that El*n hasn't acquired "GroupX" (groupxmedia.co.uk), and the "Elonex" digital signage, and PC brand, given his narcissism, and love of shameless self-promotion, and the letter "X"...
