(perfectly working) android phone that I had had for 6 years. The phone brand was not providing android updates for it.

I get it through from the banks perspective. The OS is no longer getting security updates, so this is a fault of the phone manufacter for not having a long term commitment to security and OS updates.

And the app itself required a code that I could only get by SMS.

Yeah this is pretty bad.

And I will be stuck with them for decades.

Why's that? I have my mortage through one bank but literally never use the actual services of the bank, I've never called them or used their app or logged into the site. My current account and savings accounts are with another bank separate to my mortage provider.

Also, won't you be able to change when you come to re-mortgage if another bank offers a better deal?

The popular condiment

If it was popular they probably wouldn't be discontinuing it.

My 1st & 2nd gen Chromecasts are working just as good as was the day we bought them and the UX is exactly the same - what was it about the UX that went down hill?

Well this isn't very casual 😔

What's their reasoning that you have to be in the office?

It'll be interesting to hear your experiences here as a newcomer and compare them to how it was a year ago when I suspect is when most people joined.

I've been on holiday for two weeks and today is my first day back. So I'd say having to go to work this morning annoyed me!

Totally agree with her. The experiences on that holiday will last a life time. I seriously doubt that whatever they missed in those weeks will have any impact on their lives.

The £240 fine is well worth the savings they made.

Probably because it's a Crowdstrike issue, they've pushed a bad update.

Sausages, but they have to be good quality ones. Cheap ones can get in the fucking bin.

No that's new to me too, based off me searching the word and seeing the Wiki article on the toy. I'd seen the word because of one of the instances (blahaj zone), but I literally never see the word outside of Lemmy.

TIL blahaj refers to a soft toy shark sold by IKEA.
