  • My sister has just bought the world’s most complicated food processor. To see it has like 500 different modes. It hasn’t moved for making ice slushies, who wants that?

    It has an app so you can control it from your phone. Who has ever needed to be able to remotely control their food processor, in what scenario would that be useful. I really don’t understand the modern world. At least video doorbell sort of have a point.







  • No it’s a serious need.

    Earlier this year I got a fairly serious eye infection, the pharmacy required a prescription in order to give me the eye drops, so I had to call the GP who of course don’t have any appointments until the middle of next month so I had to go down there and just wait and see if somebody didn’t turn up then I could have their spot. It took all of 15 seconds for the doctor to actually write me the prescription. It took over 2 hours to get that prescription.

    It was a colossal waste of everyone’s time but the NHS system forced the time wasting to happen. What is the point in a pharmacy qualification if they’re not allowed to make judgements about medication. If all they’re going to do is hand out medication based on a prescription then they might as well just hire from the Jobcentre.


  • I have a book on UX that was probably printed around 2010. Going through it apples new liquid glass design style basically violates every single one of the books principles.

    The first and foremost being that it’s almost impossible for developers to emulate. It’s almost like they want there to be this dark contrast between the apple made operating system and the developer made apps, which is an insane thing for them to go for but it does appear to be what they’re actually trying to achieve.
