Next-gen Wi-Fi to trade ludicrous speed for the boring art of actually working

This year?

According to the article, support for Wi-Fi 7 was added to Windows 11 only this year, so ..... yesterday or today?

I know, I know, I'm nitpicking... I'll get my coat now.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night? Bork pays a visit to London's Silicon Roundabout

Bring back The IT Crowd

Yeah, I kind of miss The IT Crowd... Particularly this episode was hilarious.

OnePlus 6T: Tasteful, powerful – and much cheaper than a flagship

Before the OnePlus 6T I used to own a OnePlus 2, which has a 5,5 inch display opposed to the 6,4 inch of the 6T, but you know what: it has the exact same width (okay, 0.1 mm less wide...) but is only 5.7 mm longer, so apparently you had problems with the 2 too, I presume?

I for one think it's amazing you have so much more screen estate for a phone with almost the same dimensions!

Austrian takes pickaxe to Street View spymobile

Topography is quite hard, apparently

Let me guess: you're from the States (as I have noticed time and again that the topographical knowledge of the average American is seriously lacking), right? The distance between Austria and Australia is about 15,000 to 20,000 km (just a guess)...

Someone who lives in The Netherlands (which is *not* the capital of Denmark!)...

Now go get your coat and go back to the classroom.

Evaluating enterprise application software

Sigh...

Statements like the one made by the ERP salesman, really p****s me off... Salesmen (generally) don't know squat about IT, and just because they don't understand a (geeky) question, doesn't mean the question is irrelevant!

I've seen time and time again that you are asked to centrally host some application and they already purchased the application without for one second considering "that geeky stuff". Often, because of politics, you are forced to host that application, whether it can be administered and backed up with your standard applications/tools/procedures or not. They don't want to think about "that pesky irrelevant geeky stuff", but what happens when it comes crashing down and you aren't able to adequately perform a disaster recovery? Right, IT gets the blame (again)!

So yes, it is very relevant that IT is involved early in the process!
