I agree with your terminology - updating is for often small incremental software patches.

Upgrade would be a complete program overhaul, or more commonly in my use of it, a change to a newer, better physical product.

My hands are also tiny and smol, and I'm also clumsy, but I have no issues with my S23 Ultra. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm an Aussie, and a biscuit is a biscuit, plus I love Britcoms, yet I've never heard the term!

I love it, though.

I love horror films with terrifying vengeful spirits. I get sad when someone kills a harmless spider. I love running around the wasteland of Fallout games and blasting the baddies. I cried when a bird flew into the glass of my bedroom window and died.

That completely stopped working for me a while ago, but Samsung's Reminders app was able to do it well.

I started using it instead, and the other day, uninstalled the Google Assistant app - the only time I was opening it was by accident, when I'd drift off to sleep holding my phone, and he rudely awoken by the noise it made.

I gave up on it entirely probably a year or so ago, as I found if anything it was getting worse.

My understanding is that the words and phrasing, and the overall scam, are a filter for idiots. Only the dumbest need apply.

I've said this, except you have a choice:

You can do retail, hospitality, or health services (eg cleaning hospitals, very basic patient support, anything that requires minimal training and won't do harm to any patient in their care).

I am a Service rep and my mum was a nurse, so we've both seen a lot of the worst of humanity. I think people need to extend more empathy to nurses and other medical staff - I understand for many patients, it's a horrible, scary situation, but these people are (generally) there to help and have to deal with a lot of awful stuff every single day.

More patience and empathy in general would make for a much better society.

I'm only using Chrome for work because the profile switching & syncing is so much smoother and our company is split into two primary brands - my brain handles it better with an individual browser profile for each.

We're consolidating everything into one next year, meaning I can ditch the second browser!

I've tried setting up a second profile but it was just too much effort to get it working and bring everything across from both, then do the same on my laptop for travel, so I'll just wait for now.

Good ol' Spiderface Spez.

Eww, Spez.

It's also helped me find the names of several books and films that have been rattling around in my mind, some for decades, which actually made me very happy because not remembering that sort of thing drives me a little mad.

I'm stuck on two books that it can't work out - both absolute trash pulp fiction, one that I stopped reading because it was so terrible and the other that was so bad but I actually wouldn't mind reading again.

Oh well, can't have it all.
