Living outside of the TFL zonal system sucks. Ticket to go somewhere much more expensive than getting a ticket to the zonal boundary, then touching in oyster, and continuing... Both options still more expensive, less convenient and longer than driving.

all files together, and it fails. It also fails if I just upload 2 at a time... Tried numerous prompts, wasted an hour, and it just can't seem to do it - it tries to be too smart and produces junk. Figuring out a better way - API + automation to feed one by one? ... annoying.

AI is amazingly powerful and annoyingly dumb. Given @ChatGPTapp (multiple models) a PDF file to extract information. It does it AMAZINGLY well, very very quick. I have thousands of files I need to do this on, and they have an upload limit of 10 at a time. I've tried combining

Trying to buy something from Amazon working out what's what... The *BEST* description came from @Dragon2611 : Amazon 2024 - Ali Express with better shipping.

Hi @Wise - would raise a support request, but, still waiting for a response from over a year ago for something that was more important! ... Getting a confirmation of AUD account details, and, you have an address error?! It only shows up on the bank confirmation.

I rarely post personal stuff but I really need some help please. Yesterday afternoon, we came home as masked burglars were leaving our home. They stole lots of things of huge sentimental value; jewellery that belonged to parents & grandparents, my late Dad’s watch, papers… /2

Right now, need to download ~2 years of docs from Santander. Each page holds 20. I need to download ~150 or so. No bulk options, No open in new tab - each one I have to click, then go back to main which takes me back to first page. Same with so many others I use day to day 2/2

Feel like a grumpy old man... really hating "modern web" on so many sites - it may look amazing for mobile/phone, but, a huge step backwards for usability. rant 1/2

Apple Business Manager is the biggest load of rubbish ever. I try and enrol clients as external IT with full authority according to the terms, turned down - when my client rings and says we are external, agent advises lying and putting the same name & spelling differently

Worse that that, they seem to randomly attach different payout charges to a transaction which makes this near on impossible to reconcile well (wasting hours here). Anyone know any good Stripe competitors as I'm getting fed up of terrible support and fees upon fees upon fees.

We've grown internationally and credit card fees are terrible... We managed to minimise fees a little by having a USD bank account (Wise) and having Stripe pay to there... Stripe have put up fees AND also randomly now charge us 1% alternative currency payout

Well, @AmericanAir you are VERY helpful on online chat and I want to rate you high - but, you won't let me from my laptop!! Won't let me manually type 10, or drag to the right:

Need to book flights - Nearly always use @opodo and have their membership but now I need checked baggage, seems almost useless to compare as you can't see true pricing as the only option for baggage is after you've already paid! ... Anyone got any tips?

Hmm... good luck to people on a social media break... I guess people say SMS is less secure anyway, but, weird... Tried to deactivate and just came up with an error.
