What a farce.

YurkshireLad ,

I’ll do that for them for the princely sum of $10 million. Bargain!

YurkshireLad ,

That’s how the rich operate.

YurkshireLad ,

Anyone got a source for this financial mismanagement by the Tories? I need to convince a Tory voter to not vote Tory.

YurkshireLad ,

Sadly not for a lifelong Tory voter in their 70s.

YurkshireLad ,

I don’t know any kids that use twitter. They all use Snapchat.

YurkshireLad ,

This is the key point for alternatives. None seem to have the community and support (docs, s/w quality etc) that is remotely close to that of the Raspberry Pi.

YurkshireLad ,

You should temporarily put a Disney+ sticker on your touchscreen and tell Musk that you hacked your Tesla and still have access to the streaming service.

I have a very vague memory of watching a video where someone calculated the amount of energy produced, which was minimal. The benefit vs the cost is very poor.

YurkshireLad ,

I lost 40lbs on keto and after the first week of keto flu, I felt great. No sugar crashes, no energy level drops and overall, more energy than usual. I stopped after six weeks as I couldn’t deal with the lack of flavour and texture in the food I was eating. I reached a good weight that I’ve maintained, 7 years later.

One thing it taught me, was to reduce the amount I eat and to balance things out if I eat more carbs than usual.

Has anyone found a wall socket on the side of a pyramid, or maybe even a USB socket to recharge a phone?

YurkshireLad ,

Probably a sad attempt at adding “shiny” features to get people to upgrade to 11 once updates are no longer published for 10?

“We’ll get people hooked on these shiny features, 90% of which are not interesting. Then we’ll pull the update rug from under them. And bingo, they’ll upgrade!!”

YurkshireLad ,

Your last paragraph probably applies to me too.

YurkshireLad ,

No they’re simply trying to emulate Google and Facebook by becoming data gatherers and hoarders. They’ve been jealous of how much data other companies have gathered about people, and then realized they could easily do the same.

YurkshireLad ,

Downvoting because that’s a crappy site that makes me expand the story because I ignored the button to load the story in the app. Oh and auto play video. Sorry but no thanks.

YurkshireLad ,

Musk was clearly frustrated that X is only a third as sexy as any porn site. So he’s trying to compensate.

YurkshireLad ,

Good riddance…

YurkshireLad ,

The only thing on that comparison that I like is the snip tool. At least I assume I use the windows one. Nothing else on that list is vital.

YurkshireLad ,

I thought she was implying they’d found evidence of pottery made by dinosaurs and given to, and used by, people.

YurkshireLad ,

It’s no worse than some of the stuff they spout. I’m sure someone would believe it. 😁

YurkshireLad ,

Or they ended up starring in fantasy based tv shows and movies?

YurkshireLad ,

Can I disable all local AI features? Or better yet not have that functionality installed?

Hurricane Irene in the Caribbean in, what, 2011? Luckily we were tucked up safely in a hotel with a concrete structure but it still scared the crap out of us.

We thought our windows and patio door were going to blow out and we used all the bedding and towels to stop water coming in under the door. It soaked up so much water that we couldn’t lift them in the morning.

Thankfully I think it dropped to a cat 2 (?) as it hit land, so damage wasn’t as bad as expected. Still, our hearts broke when we saw the damage to the island and homes as we returned to the airport a few days later. I don’t know how the locals deal with it every year.

YurkshireLad ,

If it was water, wouldn’t everything be smooth?

YurkshireLad ,

I’m sure all those women that were harassed, beaten, arrested and killed for removing their hijabs are mourning. I’m positive they are.

YurkshireLad ,

How things have changed, especially related to Amazon’s slaves, I mean employees.

YurkshireLad ,

Anyone with more than two brain cells to run together, who learns about the “Spanish Flu” of 1918-1920, should immediately say “I’m getting vaccinated, I’m wearing a mask and I’m self isolating”. 50 million people died. 50 million! We got lucky with COVID because so many people unselfishly did those things.

YurkshireLad ,

I’d love someone to explain what that is!

YurkshireLad ,

Of course! It’s so obvious now you mention it.

YurkshireLad ,

Very odd.

YurkshireLad ,

Don’t want to pay property taxes? Ok here’s all the services you won’t get or be able to use. If you do try, we’ll arrest you.

I feel sorry for Barron, and not just for his first name. He looks so unhappy. I hope he’s relatively normal compared to his siblings, despite them and his dad.

YurkshireLad ,

Will the M4 be used in new MacBook Airs, or is that a completely separate SoC? I’m not familiar with Apple’s hardware anymore.

YurkshireLad ,

Prices have dropped then!

YurkshireLad ,

Any idea how long it usually takes for a new SoC to reach the Airs? Assuming they follow a pattern with each now generation.

Just wondering whether to buy an M3 Air or wait for the M4 version.

YurkshireLad ,

That’s some great advice!

YurkshireLad ,

That’s a weird croissant with eyes.

YurkshireLad ,

Here’s an interesting article from ArsTechnica on this - arstechnica.com/…/the-surprise-is-not-that-boeing…

YurkshireLad ,

Did they ever get any money from him?

YurkshireLad ,

I can see how decades of working at Microsoft can turn someone into a goose farmer. I’ve been using their products for decades and some days I never want to see their products again.

YurkshireLad ,

Not at work, I can’t.

YurkshireLad ,

Because the software we write has to run on windows and only windows. No Linux or wine or any other platform. It’s a fixed requirement from our client and unfortunately I don’t see that changing.

YurkshireLad ,

“trustworthy test”

Ah, there’s the crux of it.

YurkshireLad ,

Phone? Probably an old flip phone. Motorola perhaps? I can’t remember. Computer was a Tandy TRS-80 I think, or something like that.

Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet

I plugged into ethernet (as wifi w/captive portal does not work for me). I think clearnet worked but I have no interest in that. Egress Tor traffic was blocked and so was VPN. I’m not interested in editing all my scripts and configs to use clearnet, so the library’s internet is useless to me (unless I bother to try a tor...

YurkshireLad ,

I can’t rant against librarians. My friend has been a librarian for many years and she has put up with a hell of a lot of crap from people. So be kind, be patient and be honest with them.

Obviously not all librarians, like any job, are perfect.

YurkshireLad ,

Catapult?

I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek surprised by how much laying off 1,500 employees negatively affected the streaming giant’s operations (fortune.com)

When Spotify announced its largest-ever round of layoffs in December, CEO Daniel Ek hailed a new age of efficiency at the streaming giant. But four months on, it seems he and his executives weren’t prepared for how tough filling in for 1,500 axed workers would be....

Good to know, thanks!
