All I want as a gamer, and I’ll admit to being in the older bracket, is a fast console, clean customisable dashboard with no ads or AI since it’s mine and I paid for it, and access to a library of games of my choosing. It’s not a difficult thing to achieve. Keep it simple and people will be happy

Really cool interview, nicely explained and reassuring for the doubters out there.

He’s a pathological liar only interested in feathering his own wealth at everyone else’s expense.

I just wish somebody would fact check him to his face in public. China has no windfarms you say? ❌ - China has the worlds largest windfarm. Greenland was yours originally and you gave it to Denmark you say? ❌ It's been part of Denmark since 18th Century. The list just goes on and on...

You are a clown, common sense says you never give out your seed phrase. That is an obvious scam site and nothing to do with Coinbase

How about you just f**k off and stop trying to scam people you low life toe rag.

Been having the same conversation with my gaming friends. £23/mth with no yearly option is a bit steep for my liking. Basic is only £7/mth and still allows MP. Not enough day 1 releases to justify extra £16 a month. That’s £192/yr for games I’m actually interested in. £276 a year is too much.

It’s not just an AirPods 3 thing, the earlier ones can do it as well, just need an iPhone 15 or later (I think) as it’s the phone doing the actual translation using Apple AI.

Finally got round to having a go at making this. Tastes pretty good but rose more in the middle than I was expecting. Think I need a slightly bigger tin.

That was comically disappointing, I kept turning my volume up higher and higher only to realise it had no sound 😂

You and Ned posting dog and food pics makes everybody’s week better, a touch of joy in this bleak world. Simple pleasures!

Awesome pics Ned, now if only you could get a shot of Darby sitting in the cockpit

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

I think everything you do for the community is only in everyone’s best interests and for that I have great respect for you. The fact you post humorous animal content is purely a bonus. Ignore the oxygen thieves and keep on doing what you’re doing!

That does look good! Until I saw your second post referencing the actual recipe, I was going to ask if you had a blog of your favourites as I’ve seen you make some tasty looking items!

Never mind hash browns, why is nobody talking about that colour coded bookshelf!

I have no idea what (phone?) camera you are using, but the amount of detail on that dog, especially his face, is stunning. It almost looks unreal. Beautiful picture and composure....
