Wikipedia has a few examples of the different ways you could say those amounts out loud here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/£sd#Writing_conventions_and_pronunciations

You literally don’t understand hyperbole.

Pineapple on pizza is fine. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to eat it.

Based.

The use of ‘literally’ as hyperbole is fine.

The sentences “I laughed so much I died” and “I laughed so much I literally died” mean exactly the same thing, but only one of them will have people respond with tHeN hOw ArE yOu TaLkInG tO mE iF yOu’Re DeAd?

Jewellery is actually spelled with the extra syllable outside of the US.

A kilobyte is 1024 bytes. Yes, I know “kilo” means 1000 - I don’t care since it’s obvious from context.

Back in the day, using base-10 prefixes for base-2 stuff was considered fine. 1024 is close enough to 1000, after all. It only changed when some dickhead realised that, by insisting that a kilobyte (and the bigger units) was 1000 bytes, they could sell you less hard drive space without lowering the number on the box.

If you don’t believe me, look at your RAM. Nobody’s ever sold RAM by the “gibibyte”.

How you doin’?

I say that Emma Stone should divorce her husband and marry me instead.

It really depends how basic and how “general public” we’re talking. At work I’ve had multiple people email me their credit card details in plaintext. That might fall into the “beyond help” category.

A few points I think are important:

• Use an adblocker

• Use a password manager

• Don’t connect things to the internet that don’t need to be connected to the internet

• If it needs to be connected to the internet, keep it up-to-date

I think that covers the basics without impacting convenience too much. While I personally think that your TV is something that doesn’t need to be connected to the internet, I imagine most laypeople wouldn’t agree with me and do it anyway.

While this article has some good points, it really is sad, and kind of ironic, that the first paragraph of it is bullshit clickbait that completely undermines the rest of the text.

A tale as old as time. Banning media you don’t like is a lot easier than parenting your children.

I work in ecommerce, so the answer is “ours”. I get far too many calls saying “Do you sell x”, or “How much is y”, and because of how terrible our website’s search function is, I can’t just say “use the fucking website, that’s what it’s there for” like I desperately want to.

We all know they use Signal, anyway.

I still use Firefox despite Mozilla because fuck Google.

I tried Librewolf, but YouTube (yeah, I know) ran like crap on it for some reason.
