Avoiding the risk of trivia
The new GPS is very good at determining where we are. And, not so good at displaying the details. I plugged the gadget into the computer, for initial firmware updates. Based on the software, it will require a minimum of nine hours to catch up on the world (as we know it). How much can things have changed since the device was created, earlier in this decade? I’m looking forward to seeing what is new.
Of course, most gadgets require a little push to get started. We live in a world where data is money, and sending a gadget out without some sort of updating process is tantamount to abandoning your customer. We want to believe that the company stands behind us. What better way to demonstrate this than requiring a night of updates. I give the GPS people credit; this seems to be a sit and wait strategy, rather than requiring the customer to answer to the prompt (repeatedly).
Look, another weekend is beginning! I wouldn’t be able to tell, if I didn’t have my computer. Onscreen clock, with date and day, don’t you know?
Actually, I did get a phone call, with an invitation to play weekend trivia. No, I’m not going. Until my turn in the vaccine chair arrives, I see little reason to risk my safe harbour. This will all be over, soon. I can then get back to my unimportant social behaviour. Including sessions of trivia. Oh, and food in public. Will a burger taste the same? Wait for my bulletin (whether it does or it doesn’t).
And finally, because some trivia is important… a few minutes ago, Twitter permanently suspended the @realdonaldtrump account.
