Did anyone else watch this last week? It was absolutely hilarious. It's available free on 4oD for anyone who missed it. I just watched it again and I was in fits of laughter! It's on again tomorrow (Thursdays) at 22:30 on E4.

That guy can put on some excellent voices!

Need to check this out, you guys talking about the pilot episode yeah?

I just watched episode 2. I thought all of it was funny except the mouse.

The prankee knew it was a wind up.... which ruins it.

As long as it varies characters etc.. I can see this running for a few series.

The worst they (he) could do is milk the characters too much and they become "trendy" to copy, and everyone in the office is going "Bu BeDuh"...

Does my head in when people copy the TV in order to pretend to be funny. "Am I bothered!?" :x

I went to the retail park today and I just couldn't get away from fonejacker! I was parked in front of "duhfs", went to "Puk World", saw some bargain "Doovde" in "Hoomv" and saw a nice "Luurg Lucde Tiv" in Currys.

I'm going to the market soon, what's the chances I'll go and bump into someone who sounds like Terry Tibbs?

Brilliant stuff! I'm surprised after all the excessive advertising it's only gonna last 6 episodes. I guess there is only so much you can do with the characters though.

Yeah they're hellishly funny, but the pressed and steamed one had me in fits of laughter.

Also the hotel one;

"If you don't come up here and spank me immediatley, I'm going to come down there and spank you."

"Spank me?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because you deserve it."

"I deserve it?"

"Yes, and you'd like it to wouldn't you?"

:laugh:

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it by Usama Jawad Anthropic has been in the headlines a lot lately, primarily due to its latest revenue and valuation figures, along with its release of its state-of-the-art (SOTA) Fable model. While its flagship product, Claude, may be very popular among millions of users, a lot of them are now reporting memory issues when using the tool. Over on Claude Code's GitHub repository, an issue raised in February has been gaining traction once again. Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once. This happens on each launch of Claude Code even if you plan to use the tool in chat mode only. Several users have upvoted this bug and stated that it's happening on their machine as well. However, it seemingly affects only Claude desktop users on Windows, not customers of the CLI or any other platform. Once the bug is triggered, it also shows a Vmmem process in Task Manager, indicating CPU usage of 0% and RAM utilization of a whopping ~1.8GB. Claude users complain that this process should only spin up when you explicitly launch agent mode or Cowork in Claude, with session files efficiently cleaned up after use. Additionally, they are calling for Claude to gracefully handle the absence of virtual machine-based infrastructure, without compromising on chat performance. It's unclear when this issue originated or what the root cause behind it is, but people are once again actively engaging in the GitHub thread as well as Hacker News. You can also find other technical details and log events over on GitHub. It's unclear if Anthropic will look into this issue, especially since it's already been reported for a few months. However, the bug is also causing major annoyance for users, with many claiming that it has led them to uninstall Claude Code on desktop, as a concrete workaround is not yet known.
