I used to read "The Register" years ago. It seems that it has gone woke. A pity but hardly surprising. The UK is heading for the bottom and this mag is just following the trend.

China dumps dud chips on Russia, Moscow media moans
"Kommersant" is a Western rag. Like the FT.
If you believe Kommersant, you must also believe in the "Daily Mail" and all the rest of them.
Usmanov, the owner of Kommersant, is an Uzbek oligarch. He spent six years in a Soviet prison in the 1980s on charges of fraud and embezzlement
The de facto alliance between China and Russia is doing very well.
Enjoy your Winter and heating bills. And don't forget that Starmer is another WEF minion. The UK is just about as independent as my left foot.

"Dumb and Dumber"
I am glad to be out of Europe. In a country that is not taking part in this mass extinction event that is called "sanctions".
85% of the world's population is out of the information bubble of the UK, Europe, the USA and Australia.
I wish you all good luck this coming winter. 2035 is a long way away. Will you survive long enough to "own nothing and be happy"
Where are the (serious) Russian cyberattacks?
"I'm sure that Putin thought the war would be all over except for the mopping up by now."
Unlike the Americans, the Russians are trying to avoid civilian casualties. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian army is hiding in the cities among civilians - the part that has not been surrounded in the east.
In the next few weeks, those in these "cauldrons" will be encouraged to surrender. They would have surrendered some time ago if not for the Nazi groups embedded in each unit. The Nazis know what fate awaits them, they kill any deserter.
I suggest you forget about the lies of the MSM. Today, the London Times finally hinted at the entrapment of most of the Ukrainian army. Something that was being reported elsewhere a week ago.
Oh what's the use? You guys know nothing about East Europe. The brave Brits and Yanks beat the Nazis in WW2. LOL
Cisco requires COVID-19 shots for all US staff – even remote workers
Re: Get rid of the religious exemption.
There is nothing "medical" about the medical that you refer to.
Fauci is a liar and a mass murderer. Just look at the history of this guy and what he did with HIV/AIDS with his beloved AZT.
History is repeating itself with his beloved Remdesevir. It kills 1/4 of patients.
Japan has switched to Ivermectin and their rate of sickness has collapsed.
Natural immunity is infinitely better than fake vaccines that don't work. Hospitals are filling up and they call it "Delta Variant". BS

Quality control, Soviet style: Here's another fine message you've gotten me into
Russia Improving. UK not so much.
Nostaligia.
Car production in Russia is increasing. It is over 1.5 million units per year. Just look at what is happening to manufacturing in the UK. Even Rolls Royce and Bentley are foreign owned. :(
I once worked for Lucas, when the UK had a serious car parts business. So sad to watch today's wokes hiding from an airborne virus that hardly kills any healthy person. We had concerts in Hyde Park when the flu killed far more people. The media rarely mentioned it.
Who'd have thought the US senator who fist pumped Jan 6 insurrectionists would propose totally unworkable anti-Big Tech law?
A floppy filled with software worth thousands of francs: Techie can't take it, customs won't keep it. What to do?
Porsche in France
I tried to get my Porsche registered in France. It was registered in Luxemburg. I was resident in Paris.
I went to the customs office in Paris to enquire as to how to do this. The functionary asked for proof that I owned the car. I showed him the owner's manual. He confiscated it and said that I must pay the customs fees for importing the car before he will return the manual.
I left the office and never came back. I had the car registered in the UK with no problem.

UK terror law reviewer calls for expanded police powers to imprison people who refuse to hand over passwords
US nuke agency hacked by suspected Russian SolarWinds spies, Microsoft also installed backdoor
Why does Russia get the blame?
All references to "Russians" are suspect. It could have been the "Chinese" or any number of other people.
I repeat. There is absolutely no proof that the Russians are behind this.
For all we know, it might have been another brilliant idea of British Intelligence to damage relations with Russia - like Polonium, the Skripals, Navalny, White Helmets, Syrian Gas and so much else.
Trump fires cybersecurity boss Chris Krebs for doing his job: Securing the election and telling the truth about it
Mark Zuckerberg, 36, decides that having people on his website deny the deaths of six million Jews is a bad thing
Re: Repeat after me.
"A private company deciding what allowed on it's systems is NOT censorship. It is a business choice"
Facebook, Google, Amazon and Youtube are monopolies. They are utilities.
How would you like your privatised electric supplier cutting off your power because it is a "business choice"?
I think that French minister who, 250 years ago, said that people get the government they deserve was perfectly correct.
This "genocide" is nowhere to be found in the voluminous memoirs of Churchill, Eisenhower and de Gaulle about the Second World War. Today, they would be prosecuted in several European countries for their "crime" - that is if there memoirs were to be even printed.
Enjoy you freedom guys! I am 70 years old and I had a good life. :-)
What a Hancock-up: Excel spreadsheet blunder blamed after England under-reports 16,000 COVID-19 cases
Last Monday, the WHO announced that 10% of the world's population had been infected. They tried to spin that as bad news.
However, that means that this virus is no worse than the seasonal influenza.
Please stop exaggerating this thing. The PCR test is highly-misleading. Claiming that healthy people are "cases" is pure propaganda.

It is a hoax guys. They are simply moving anyone with influenza into the Covid-19 category. Plenty of terminal cancer patients are diagnosed as Covid-19 without even a test - after death.

UK contractors planning 'mass exodus' ahead of IR35 tax clampdown – survey
Ex-independent who worked in the UK, France, Netherlands and Germany
Lots of people (like myself a long while back) don't want to be employees in large companies. We don't want to be obliged to play all the political games. We don't want promotion and the ignominy of being sacked. We just want to do a specific technical job without all that crap. Without needing to attend endless meetings where everyone is competing to guess what the boss really wants so that they can present it as our own preferred solutions - to the delight of the boss.
Why is it so difficult for the psychopaths in politics and at the top of all these companies and ministries to understand such a simple thing?
It all comes down to power. Those in the Inland Revenue, senior management and the Permies are jealous of the freedom of those who work independently. Go ahead and watch another few TSB's blow up. Just look at the NHS application that cost untold millions - with no officials getting the sack.

Hypersonic nukes! Nuclear-powered drone subs! Putin unwraps his new (propaganda) toys
No bluff
It would be very silly to think that Putin is bluffing. He is not like Reagan with "Star Wars." Putin is a serious statesman. Another thing he said a while back is that if Russia is attacked, the fighting will not only take place in Russia - like last time.
NATO has been bugging the Russians for decades and this is simply push-back. He is telling them that placing missiles on Russia's border - while pretending it is to protect Europe from the Iranians - is a waste of time.

TripTax.com - how to speed up traffic on the cheap
I am waiting for the coin to drop and for people to understand that my proposal is:
1- Way cheaper
2- Highly flexible
3- Uses today's technology
4- Does not need infrastructure
5- Does not need any gadget in cars

The silver Spitfire
My Dad was a main supplier to the British army in Egypt. At the end of the war, he and two other main suppliers were offered lots of "army surplus" gear almost for free. The Army was desperately short of money. One offer was for brand new latest model Spitfires - boxed and minus guns - for £100 each. A motor torpedo boat - minus tubes - was £500. He settled for lots of trucks and a miniature mining train engine with cars and rails.
Elon to dump Trump over climate bump
Good. Musk is one of those trying to profit from the AGW scam. His companies are bleeding cash on a massive scale and received $5bn in direct subsidies from Obama. More in indirect subsidies from the certificates that he sells to other ICE car makers. This guy is terribly overrated by those under 30 - and with no hard science qualifications.

UK hospital meltdown after ransomware worm uses NSA vuln to raid IT
Well done Microsoft. Cooperating with US intelligence services comes at a price. The Russians, Chinese and so on are moving away from American operating systems and software.
When is the last time you saw a new Detroit-made car in Europe?
That is what happens to people who make shoddy products - let alone products designed with integrated faults.
Facebook decides fake news isn't crazy after all. It's now a real problem
FB wants to go the same way as the MSM
The mainstream media is dying - because of its pervasive lying by omission and commission. Facebook should try and learn from the mistake of the MSM.
I subscribed to the Financial Times for around 40 years before getting fed up with their agenda. Now, I only look at the MSM to learn what is the latest lie that they are propagating or which piece of information they are trying not pass on to the general public.

Radioactive leak riddle: Now Team America sniffs Europe's skies for iodine isotope source
US Navy runs into snags with aircraft carrier's electric plane-slingshot
The whole idea behind aircraft carriers is quite redundant. Rockets are so much cheaper and don't need pilots. The aircraft carriers can't get close enough to their target so the aircraft cannot make the return trip. A total waste of resources.
The U.S. Navy’s Big Mistake — Building Tons of Supercarriers
Also submarines are getting so much more stealthy - not to mention smart mines. I certainly would not recommend anyone to get a job on board any of these dinasaurs.
Possible reprieve for the venerable A-10 Warthog
They should just buy - the better - Russian planes and stop pretending.
The SU-34 is superior in every way to the A-10 - and can protect itself against air attacks

Even the SU-25 is way ahead of the A-10 on every count
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Su-25#Military_intervention_in_Syria
The trouble is that the Americans have never had to operate without air superiority. They have no idea how to fight the ex-Soviet way - as was demonstrated in the ex-Yugoslavia.

Smack them with an "enhanced" GST
Pretty easy to do. Let them keep their profits wherever they wish, but just stun them with a GST of say 25% for all business carried out in Australia. If they then decide to bring onshore a fair share of their profits, reduce the GST pro-rata.
It would sure put a lot of Australian accountants out of business - and upset Obama no end.

Reality versus spin
Musk may well have a physics background, but he always panders to the masses' in all things practical - e.g. the laws of thermodynamics.
The idea of using precious fuel that was in orbit to land a spacecraft on an ocean-rig is as daft as they come. The weight of that fuel is equivalent to the payload that has been forsaken. At least the Space Shuttles did glide some of the way back to earth and used a heat-shield to brake the craft.
Truly dumb.
Consider yourselves lucky!
