> It's a snag, though, if like The Reg FOSS desk you habitually run both Firefox and Chrome and wanted to keep both on the same ad blocker.
Why would you want to downgrade your Firefox browser security so it matches the PoS that is Chrome? Your problem is not that uBlock Origin Lite doesn't work on Firefox, it's that Chrome won't let the original uBlock Origin run because it hurts Google's business model. Oh poor Google how will their billions cope.
Paypal seem to have taken a dislike to Firefox for the last 3 or 4 years.
Every time I try to log in to make a payment the site either refuses to load or loads in a window that is gradually getting smaller making it a race to find the payment button.
I wonder if they've noticed my account has hardly been used recently.
> getting nothing in return
Except cheaper devices for those who can't afford new, less electronics in landfills, less toxic chemicals leaking into our environment, more jobs in electronics repair... need I go on?
Not every benefit to the country or consumer is a lower price than current.
Yes, what a shame my govenrment decided to standardise on a 3-pin electrical wall outlet all those years ago. That was a waste of money and definitely did not help adoption of electricity or public safety. We should have allowed every electrician to use whatever excuse for a plug they thought the customer would put up with and invested in more firemen.
That is what is seems to say to me too. So because I have apps in Play I'm not allowed to open my own app store or if I do Google can stop paying me what I'm owed by Play?
That is the opposite of what this stupid judge claims to be doing. Or is he an Apple Fanboi who knows exactly what he's doing?
As an Android app developer I publish my apps on Play. I do not publish them on Amazon, Huawei or Galaxy stores for various reasons and don't want to.
Most apps on Play can't be published on other stores without extensive rewrites that will make no money. Is Mr Justice Dumbass going to pay for that?
This dumb judge has no idea what he's talking about and can eff off telling me how to do MY job.

Great idea, why don't we call it DO NOT TRACK? Oh right, we have that already and it does not work.
Back to the drawing board Rupert, like an Apple engineer you invented something that already exists.
Agreed. I have one of Apples supposedly fast M-chip powered MacBooks and it's slow as hell despite all the pundits who will tell you otherwise.
My 5 year old desktop is much faster and cost half the price to build.
If I need a mobile computer I'll use my phone, tablet, Steam Deck or maybe even my watch.
> encryption certificates will expire, which then means no more OTA software updates. However, the car will still drive perfectly well, even after that.
Although of course you will miss all the recall related software updates required to make it SAFE to drive for you and those around you.
> dump everything else and go to another shop
I have been known to do this but it does require the supermarket being out of stock of so many things I get frustrated enough to walk to another shop.
Funnily enough I have done this in ASDA several times, leaving my half full trolley behind.
> My local co-op has just had to order more shopping baskets, because the shoplifters steal the baskets to transport their stolen food.
I'm calling bullshit on this. I shop in a Co-Op every day, how the hell do you walk out past the security guard with a shopping basket under your jacket?
My lodger, who is a security guard, also says you're talking shite.
> Can only dream of the day when one might enter math formulae as one writes on paper (and have it converted to latex or mathcad etc.
I listened to a podcast last year about someone who came up with a way to do that but Apple cancelled his project. Their managers could not understand why it would be useful.
What open source?
Show me the money, err I mean code.
Show me the code for ANY ChatGPT model, bot or service. You can't because none of it is open source.
The 'open' in OpenAI does not stand for open source, it stands for open to taking all the worlds money in an enormous AI scam.
For those who don't think its a scam consider this... Sam AltMan recently admitted that true AI, or whatever he's calling a computer system that's actually intelligent as opposed to his word guessing bots, will take a few thousand days. That's 5 - 10 years. Or the same as predictions for the flying car, cold fusion, quantum computing, etc.
