RIP @x. My original Twitter account has been suspended for multiple rules violations. It hasn't posted in ages & was only used this time to change the password due to an email from X asking if I had tried to login. No more info provided and no option to challenge.

OK, @Outlook and @MicrosoftTeams are the worst pieces of software I have come across since the first programs I ran on my ZX81. I now understand better why we have such poor customer service and communication in modern businesses.

Of course I'm having issues with my mobile on @iD_Mobile_UK as well. 4g and texts OK, making and receiving calls no chance. Tech support chat useless, no way to get in touch with a person.

Back on the case with @TalkTalk. It would probably be easier to change providers than fix the issue, but I wouldn't guarantee that given there is no internet or phone and I can't login or register my account to do anything.

Trying to sort out taking over my dad's @TalkTalk broadband. So far 0 out of (doesn't really matter what scale) for website functionality and ease of use, support functionality and ease of use, processes functionality and ease of use and ability to actually sort the problem.

Such an important bill to get through, and with cross party support.
📻 @DrRozSavageMP: "I'm proud we've got cross-party co-sponsors for the #CANBill. We need to combine forces and do everything we can—on both climate and nature—the intertwined crises we’re facing globally right now. This is all-important." @LBCnews @martinstanford

Having made the switch to an EV last year I can't see myself going back. It covers the three Rs so well.. Responsive, Relaxing and Really fun to drive.

Not sure whether @EventbriteUK is broken or just the event. The event links page is blank, the contact organiser link takes you to the event details, and the login insists on emailing you a login link after you've put your username and password in.

To be fair that last one is just lazy coding and testing, much like back in the 90s when websites were only tested against Internet Explorer (and some even had file: links which were never going to work away from the developing computer!).

Mind-boggling how bad the @ITVXhelp app is. I don't mind the rapid 2 second blips of each ad, but not remembering which episode you were watching, and skipping forward always starting from the beginning of the episode are fundamental failings.

Early start tomorrow, as in up at 4am, to travel to the start line. Still time to sponsor me 🙂 26 miles round the Jurassic Coast for Macmillan. Hopefully not too slippy under foot after the rain. justgiving.com/fundraising/p…

Well that's a first. @googlephotos tells me there's and update... and there is! Will wonders never cease.

I think it may be time to re-evaluate @NetflixUK. I knew we were getting adverts, but removing the ability to cast to the TV without a significant price increase has removed the prime way I use it. Not happy.

What will @vmbusinesshelp foul up next, an upgrade becomes a new line (charge to cancel), speed change removed IP addresses, Order Manager does not reply, phone support has no idea, website no help either. If only @WeAreOpenreach or @CityFibre provided decent service here.

OK @ASUSUK can you help with this. @ThreeUKSupport are blaming the router (a 4G-N12) even though other texts get through fine.
OK @ThreeUKSupport, given you've upgraded your website and I have to re-register, how do I do that when the MFA text comes through in Wingdings or something along those lines?! (That's a router with a SIM in, but other texts work fine). Online support seems to require logging in!
