Re: Yeah, most people can still do their day to day stuff on a 10 year old machine.

You might want to take a look at OpenCore Legacy Patcher https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/ most of the macOS upgrade restrictions are arbitrary and a more recent release can be used easily ( I have Monterey running happily on a 2009 MacPro for example )

erm - the evil version of Priti Patel *is* Priti Patel...

There is something odd with The Home Office being able to get any Home Secretary to go native immediately upon appointment to the position irrelevant of party affiliation / politics and promote very authoritarian / controlling / big-brother policies.

Murdoch hate sparks mass bitchin', rapid evacuation from O2, BE

Going, going, gone.

Would the last person out please switch off the lights.

Migrated last Friday, I'm sorry to go but there is absolutely no way I am giving any money to Sky again. I've been with Be since they lit my exchange in 2007.

My reading would be that the eventual sale price / bonus is dependent on O2/Be transferring a certain amount of their users onto the Sky platform. Let's make that not happen eh. Perhaps then it will make other companies thinking of taking the Murdoch shilling consider their other options.

Apple must apologise for its surly apology on its website on Saturday

WTF?

Re: What nonsense

I don't understand the desperation from Samsung? This is a court ruling where the judge decided the reparations ( not Samsung ) and based it on Apple's demands if they had won. This is purely a big bully company that has lost in the courts and is acting in a childish manner showing contempt for the court and it's ruling.

Still playing silly buggers.....

Hiding the correction / ruling - they are handling the scaling differently between the US and UK front pages.

What part of contempt of court do Apple not understand? This only goes to amplify the media furore surrounding their loss in Europe.

I think their barrister was very lucky not to have been jailed there and then for trying to pull the 14 days to make a change stunt.

Have you ever *tried* reporting this crap out to the ICO, to say they are uninterested is a massive understatement. If you still have the will to live after trying to report this stuff over the phone to actually put in a report you will find that the form to make the submission on is in MS Word format only ( not an open format ) and suffice to say "requires" reams of personal information that frankly I don't trust those bastards with.

All it requires is a quick web form asking for the source number and the message sent - simples non?
