  Probably no use to man nor beast, but figured I should offer it - I was clearing out the other day and came across an old Orange branded SIM backup device, for when texts and contacts were all on the SIM. Any takers? #technology #oldtech

  I’ve got an #xboxone (2013) which beeps on, then turns straight back off again. One thing to test is apparently the PSU, but I can’t find a real one to use (the one I bought on Amazon weighed virtually nothing, can’t have been safe). Anyone know of a source of real Xbox One PSUs?

  "VVIQ Questionnaire: Your score of 36 places you at approximately the 7th percentile of the population. [...] You have a vivid visual imagination, known as phantasia. This indicates an average to above-average ability to visualize mental images. When you picture something in your mind, you can "see it" with a reasonable level of clarity and detail." Yeah. I really don't think they've connected up the score and the text there very well.

  @gcluley Just wanted to say hi - there's no way on earth you'll remember me but I still have a pair of Dr Solomon socks that you sent me, many years ago. 😃 It's good to see you're still around.
