AI generated content is great and all but it drowns out everything else on there. Anyone can type a prompt and generate a great looking image with a couple of attempts these days it seems.

The people spending days, weeks, months and more on a piece can't keep up.

When it comes to WiFi Mac's mobile phones have fudged them for "privacy" for years, if this goes main stream I see the same thing coming in for Bluetooth.

They promise the macs are random but I don't have much faith in that.

Looking up a real Mac to see what manufacturer it came from is something I do almost daily sorting out network issues for customers and really is not difficult. From there it takes a leap to guess what the device is if it's name doesn't help but more often than not it's easy enough to see what's out there, the random macs of phones stick out like a sore thumb as they don't come back as anything usually so you can then track that around the network and see what they are up to that way.

To be fair, they may have a rule about anything without the original plug/cord I know places near me do. Still a shame it ends up going to waste.

Yup, killed the one reason I had to go in there apart from the Pokémon codes.

Merch is overpriced, they won't part-ex anymore. They closed stores and moved to crappy corners of sports direct and what not. It's dying. It'll be an online portal where kids send links to grandparents at Christmas soon.

I acquire the MP3 of the song I want from where ever I can find it. Be that buying it, YouTube converter or elsewhere. Then copy it to the SD card on my phone to listen to. No ads, no data connection needed. I even bother to set the album covers and tags up so it is all searchable in the Oto app I use on my phone.

And since they are shutting down they won't be in touch at all

If it's gonna use a load of memory let me theme it, colour schemes, skins based on games and let me switch off the community feeds that are full of shitty trying to be funny guides and crap.

Custom toast popups that pair with the game you are playing.

Reminders for the free stickers in the mobile app during events?

I was expecting some exploit of the ancient underlying OS but that looked relatively simple.

The fact the exploit was able to infect config backups to persist is interesting too.

I've been using Firefox at home for as long as I can remember. I've not found anything I can't do with it yet.

If something doesn't work you can always try it in edge of something either way.

I like that they list if the UK plug fits now, it was a guessing game with some of the cases

I got a Tefal microwave one, simple plastic pot that you put rice and water in. Then heat in the microwave and it changed rice for us forever.
