Why would you:
a - have a window open with code you knew you had nicked while you were on a Teams call with the people you nicked it from, and
b - share your whole desktop and not just the PowerPoint window with the slide deck?
Arrogance or stupidity? Either way he's not the sharpest of tools...
There's a simple counter argument to the "tourism" case for keeping the monarchy: France.
The most visited country on the planet, who famously cut the heads off their monarchy >200 years ago.
As for the "President Boris/Blair etc" problem, easy fix: when the Republic's constitution is written, just make anyone who has been an MP ineligible to be President
2 million of these would comfortably fit in 1 cubic metre, allowing 0.5 cm3 each, which is probably far more than they need.
Weight limitations aside, filling a 747-8F's capacity of 692 m3 at a density of 2,000,000/m3 gives 1.933 ZB (~2 billion TB)
I have a vision of a 747 filled with 692 builder's bulk bags each brimming with 2 million SD cards!
The logistics of reading nearly 1.4 billion cards at the end of the "data transfer" journey are another problem.
Flying back from Crete once, we were at 40,000ft over Croatia and had a grandstand view of an electrical storm.
The Captain announced it over the PA system, telling those of us on the right hand side of the plane that we could see "Mother Nature in all her glory" and not to worry as the storm was about 100 miles away.
Mesmerising to watch from afar, wouldn't have fancied being underneath it!.
My phone Wi-Fi was rubbish when the microwave was in use.
The microwave door had a small crack in the corner, so thinking of leaky waves being the problem, we bought a brand new microwave
Phone Wi-Fi is still rubbish when the microwave is on.
Probably a combination of acceptable micro transmission and Wi-Fi AP being upstairs and on the other side of at least 2 brick walls (108 yr old house)
A colleague has recently had the BT residential fibre service installed (genuine FTTP, not FTTC), and he has no landline at all.
While the service does come with a BT Wi-Fi "router", you are free to not use that and just connect to the RJ45 port on the internal box with your own firewall etc, which is exactly what he has done.
Since getting a dog last year, I've taken to tweeting Virgin or BTOR with photos of their street cabinets that me and the mutt walk past that are missing doors or otherwise not in the best shape.
The eastern side of Nottingham does seem to have a ready supply of oiks who gain some sort of enjoyment from damaging telecoms equipment, so it's a regular thing at the moment. It might slow down when winter comes and they're holed up in the warm.
To be fair, Virgin/BT come back with a "thanks" quite quickly and the cabinet is fixed within a few days at most.
Any calls I get on my landline that are from a number I don't know - pick it up and say nothing.
Genuine callers will say "hello?" into the silence, robocallers will wait about 10 secs for a response and then hang up, and as I understand it will mark my number as non-responsive and not try it again.
