The priceless 70-metre-long medieval artwork depicting the Norman conquest of England
was discreetly delivered to the British Museum in London in a high-security operation overnight on Friday.
Crafted from wool thread stitched onto linen, the tapestry accurately depicts the intertwined – sometimes bloody – histories of Britain and France, and is symboli…

Also worth noting that cellular/mobile phones still provided an actual working service.
Yes there were trade-offs, but the core functions that people wanted were there.

When we switched to mobile phones, carriers were given grace for the technology- dropped calls, sound quality, reliability, etc. the public was told to just accept these limits and we largely did. With advent of supposed “AI”, we are seeing the same pattern. Companies are slashing staff while issues rise in services due to sloppification. We need to be careful about letting service quality degrade while giving it a pass for AI errors. Demand BETTER, not WORSE!
