The Evri app, which I have just installed, allows you to move a map pin to your precise delivery location.

EXCEPT — it doesn't account for how wide an area a UK postcode can cover. In our case the geolocation for the postcode is always a BT exchange nearly 200 metres down the road. The closest I can drag the pin to is about 50 metres short of the house.

BUT — turns out if you drag it one time as close as you can and then save it, you can then change it again and it starts at the new spot so you can then drag it the rest of the way. 😂 #kwality

Having made the mistake of taking a car to Canadian Tire for something "simple" like an oil change or a tire swap 20+ years ago, this doesn't surprise me at all.

Oil change turns into highway hazard after Canadian Tire uses plastic zip ties in vehicle repair, says driver | CBC News

Canadian Tire promotes its auto service centres as "Canada's Garage," but a Newfoundland man says his experience is a warning about the risks of trusting that reputation. He says he lost control of his vehicle on the highway after Canadian Tire used plastic zip ties instead of proper metal bolts to secure a critical part of his car. Auto safety experts say this exposes the potential dangers of a quick fix.

Because I’ve been annoyed with #Apple #Kwality lately, I figured I’d try out #Android. Started with a #Samsung Galaxy Watch 7. First thing I tried was using the timer on the watch. Simple. And yet it’s completely broken. When the timer reached the end, neither the restart or close button worked. Had to force quit the app.

Am I losing it? How can something this simple not work?

Older VMs running 15.1 also seem affected now. Though I don't believe they were blocked previously. Seems they will update apps already installed from the App Store, just won't let me install ones not currently installed (even if already purchased). So at least I should be good for Xcode (though that could be installed outside of the App Store anyway probably).

Hmm, seems macOS now detects if it's running in a VM and blocks logging into Apple services. Can't download/update apps from the App Store anymore. Guess developing and testing in VMs is now a dead end.

Anyone know if the new M4 Mac Studio's make your screens blink like the M4 Mac Minis? I'm still flabbergasted that this is considered ‘normal' and 'expected’ for the Mini (it apparently happened on the M3 too and still wasn't fixed for the new ones). #Apple #Kwality #MacStudio #MacStudioM4

And what’s with the text magifier loupe? You can only go up, left and right. If you move down, it breaks. It’s not like anyone reads from the top down or anything… smh #Apple #iOS18 #kwality
