During the pandemic mr Speed went a bit nuts with Legos and knock-off Legos. Those are indeed a saturn V, a Saturn 1B and the Discovery among many others.
The Zuck must be ecstatic with this study. After all, if the internet doesn't affect wellbeing, then neither do Instagram filters
Microsoft, having heard the feedback from its valued customers, releases Windows 12 with a simple option to turn off all telemetry. No account is needed to set up the operative system for home users.
Also, the new Windows includes a selection of skins that gives the user the option to get the complete look and feel of Win 2000, NT, XP, Vista or 8.1.
Edge is not installed by default. Instead a launcher allows the user to download the latest version of FF, Edge, Chrome, Opera or Brave.

... and before anyone asks, yes, I am a sad luddite
>> there are large chunks of UK farmland that aren't suitable for growing crops
It is ok, because there are vast swathes of land around the tropics that are basically unused... you know, they are simply covered with useless rainforest. Thanks to the increase in biofuel prices, clever enterpreneurs are turning these uselss lands into corn and oil palm plantations, which is sooo much better for the environment.
>>Yet Zuck seems to think we're ready to go through all that [Google Glass] again.
Sadly, I think they may be right: in the decade since Glass, a generation accustomed to have their whole life online and their nose glued to a phone screen, reached adulthood.
I'm afraid for them having cameras pointed at them all the time, and all their data beamed instantly to Facebook, won't seem as onerous a to us old farts.
