    [Technology] Will this put you off buying a new car?

    I agree, it is annoying. In my car, the stop/start feature was always on each time I started it - I hate this feature and wished the car would remember my preference.

    [Help] Parkside batteries/chargers advice please

    I got a Parkside impact driver a few years ago and it is brilliant - never struggled to drive screws/bolts home. Made light work of some concrete screws into the top of a retaining wall for safety barrier type construction. Battery is bloody brilliant too!

    [Technology] What is the most impressive thing you have seen AI do?

    I never said whether I believed it or not, simply that the aim of it by its creators, is to not reduce headcount. They wouldn't necessarily remain agents but could be re-deployed elsewhere in a business.
