Dwindling delights and mobile frights

By John Mikkelsen - posted Thursday, 24 October 2024

"Sorry about that, it's just a universal message sent out by some little robot.."

I thank her, but think to myself, "Bloody AI again".

Sure enough, next morning I receive a text from Optus confirming: "We've determined that this device will not be impacted when the Optus 3G network is switched off from 28 October 2024. You won't need to do anything.."

Great. Fingers crossed that the little robot got it right this time!
