I can’t stand that Office programs and others give you AI answers when you don’t want anything to do with AI.

If I can’t work out what to put in my Excel spreadsheet, I don’t want to know.

i do agree but recently our heating system crashed in the evening so no chance of a service call, but I did ring the emergency number by chance to find that they were a Perth company and it was answered. The guy tried to instruct me on how to check and reboot the system but I couldn’t get it working, so he asked for the unit serial number and somehow logged in via our WiFi !! Had it operating quickly, so I am of two minds now. Hate this access by outsiders, but sometimes it can work.

Restaurant QR codes set me off.

Because I am a bloke and never thought she would look where I was.

Though with my marital record I am surprised she didn’t make me wear an ankle bracelet.

Yeah, there’s always available parking at Spearmint Rhino. She’ll think it’s just your normal routine…

My partner can use her phone to track the insides of our house in Indonesia 24 hrs per day. I find it creepy and its not for me.
