Re: Looking forwards to more magnetic jumper wires and unsolderable cables

Got nothing against aluminium cables, when they're made properly it's only slightly worse than gold for conductivity and the UK's national grid which uses them between pylons to distribute HV power around the country, is pretty damn reliable too.

The usual problems you find with aluminium cable are caused by incorrect termination or lack of maintenance.

Yes, cross compilers on dev systems, some of them were even able to be plugged in to the target system to load and debug code "properly" but there were plenty of aftermarket "proper" keyboards for the 8 bitters which suffered with those crappy horror keyboards.

Re: Long Brexit.

If anything the politicians, media and their nudge campaigns seem to be pushing the country further right into some quite dark places, only a few years ago people lost jobs for suggesting we sink migrant boats, now it seems almost manifesto material for the swivel eyed loons of reform ( it is heartening to see one lose the whip for what might be fraud, if they carry on losing councillors and MPs at this rate they'll be out of our local authorities and government entirely by the next GE)

Re: Greasy

Even when I've fallen out with clients I've been utterly professional (believe me it's not always been easy) and made sure they have all necessary documentation, keys, etc so I cannot gain access to their premises and infrastructure, it's simply the right thing to do and covers my arse because I have them sign off that it's all been done.

Re: And this is why...

That seems kinda daft to have only the one authorised device, because laptops get lost, stolen, drink too much coffee etc.

Absolutely, it's simply good security practice and works to keep both parties safe from potential problems with misused, lost, phished credentials etc.

How about not committing easy to detect crime like inciting violence on socialedia so the police can crack on with catching other criminals instead?

Of course the police will go after easy to prosecute stuff because, shock, it's easy and doesn't take much of their Tory slashed resources

I'm sure a boycott of their stores by shoplifters would change their minds.

However, they aren't the only UK retailer to implement this crap and they won't be the first to ban someone totally innocent, B&M home stores have form for it.

Coincidentally my cynicism of their data retention policies and the big brother use of that crap is the reason I don't enter B&M stores any more.

UK to buy nuclear-capable F-35As that can't be refueled from RAF tankers

Re: US has it's finger on the Kill Switch.

The initial commitment to 138 F35s was way back in 2012 by David Cameron, hence my comment about "fucking Tories", it seems unlikely that was a trap set for a future government but the 2024 announcement, perhaps so, or maybe it was just to ensure they weren't asked to repay whatever backhanders they'd been given.

Re: US has it's finger on the Kill Switch.

Are you absolutely sure about that Bucky?

https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/uk-appears-to-recommit-to-full-order-of-138-f-35bs/

Re: US has it's finger on the Kill Switch.

The first 48, which were ordered by the government under David Cameron, were/are due to be delivered this year.
