Assange lawyer: Trump offered WikiLeaker a pardon in exchange for denying Russia hacked Democrats' email

Stop making sense fgs,

Now fix your thinking and repeat 'Orangemanbad'.

Q. If machine learning is so smart, how come AI models are such racist, sexist homophobes? A. Humans really suck

Cyberdine systems

Maybe the AI is so clever it's trying to start a race war so we can kill each other off before it sends in the machines to wipe out the rest!

Electric vehicles won't help UK meet emissions targets: Time to get out and walk, warn MPs

When the people in charge start acting like it's really an actual emergency and stop flying private jets/1st/Business class to have pointless meetings in foreign places about how bad climate change is then I'll start acting like it.

Example, why can't G7(8) be held by video conference? Why should the plebs be forking out 1,000,000's on transport & security for these people? Isn't this bad for the environment?

Sysadmin left finger on power button for an hour to avert SAP outage

My second day working as a Systems Admin for a large law firm back in mid 2000's, asked to take out a couple of servers that had been decommissioned and free up the rack space for a SAN that was going in.

4 power cables, going into two servers, walked around the back of the rack and yanked all the cables out. Except... I had went to the wrong rack and yanked the cables out of both of the exchange cluster servers, bringing down the mail system for about an hour >.<

It was so tidy and symmetrical it looked identical to the rack I was supposed to take the servers out of... Surprisingly they kept me on for a third day :D

UK ministers' Broadband '2.0' report confuses superfast with 10Mbps

Time to take the pills and turn off the PC.

Why can't you install Windows 10 Creators Update on your old Atom netbook? Because Intel stopped loving you

Re: Yawn

Does that count as one of my 5-a-day?

Whoops! Microsoft accidentally lets out a mobile-'bricking' OS update

Seems a tad sensationalist

To say 'bricked'

If you can hard reset it, then it hasn't been bricked.

Oh you lost all your data? You mean it was that important and you never backed it up?

That's a DFU error.

It's Russian hackers, FBI and Wikileaks wot won it – Hillary Clinton on her devastating election loss

Did you ever see the 'hot sauce' interview?

It was so false it broke my cringe-o-meter.

It is well known in political circles that Clintons cronies made power plays that influenced and maneuvered Trump into the position of her opposition for the presidency candidacy.

With the motive that 'there was no way she could lose to this bozo'.

In the words of the great Nelson. HA-HA!

Lenovo's 2017 X1 Carbon is a mixed bag

I deployed one of these today, no Miracast out of the box is shocking. the CEO I was setting it up for was 'underwhelmed' or maybe even disappointed. His old crappity windows 8 Toshiba could do it no sweat and that this 'flagship' top of the range jobby couldn't project to his TV for presentations.

Well lets just say he wasn't impressed that he would have to buy a separate transmitter.... 'more shite dangling out of the sides'.

Is your child a hacker? Liverpudlian parents get warning signs checklist

My son just called me a 'scrub l0l' he used a zero and everything, is he a hacker? is he having secret online discussions with Anonymous? Is he on the 'dark web' the Daily Mail said the dark web was bad and there was bad people doing bad things there!!

Installing disks is basically LEGO, right? This admin failed LEGO

Genius

In my yoof - I worked as an engineer in a local PC hardware shop. We had a bignob sysadmin from a large financial that had regional office near us, call up asking sarcastically if we sold fake crap and tell us that the Adaptec SCSI we sold him was 'manufactured wrong' and wouldn't fit in the system.

So we asked him to bring it back.

So I take the card and test it in the back, seems fine. I tell him this, he says 'I have the server in the car' can we try it. sighing, ok, bring it in.

Lumps the server on the counter, cracks it open and then proceeds to try and plug the PCI SCSI card in upside down, the connector edge pointing skywards.....

I take his hand and physically turn it around and slot the card into the PCI slot.

I quote: "oh! I'm used to ISA slots and the components facing the other way"

US citizens crash Canadian immigration site after Trump victory

Thank god Mexico must have invested in huge infrastructure, no doubt a warehouse full of server clusters to handle that throughput. Must be the reason they never crashed.

Gartner: Brexit to wipe $4.6bn off tech spending in Blighty

Nothing has actually happened yet though, other than the vote?

There was no tsunami, no earthquake, no asteroid from space that wiped out the M4 corridor.

Nothing has changed, other than some guys typing numbers into computers followed by the words 'oh my godz PANIC!'

When the trade deals etc change for better or for worse, then sure, get the sandwich boards out and start parading up and down the high street.

Does anyone one else find it funny?

I bought a 950xl with a hub for Continuum just to see what it was like.

So close, yet so far.

The phone should have been targeted at IT professionals. Given it domain features, got the Citrix client and the RDP client working with continuum before release, given it DirectAccess functionality and they'd have been onto a surefire winner.

I have a Sony Android phone and an i6 too, I'll probably end up back on the Xperia, if just for Fing and file commander.

Silly MS.

BBC telly tax drops onto telly-free households. Cough up, iPlayer fans

Re: A thought about Sky...

Erm, no. Whether or not you pay £30 to Sky, this does not include the mandatory £12 you pay seperately to BBC. Do you think that if you pay Sky you somehow don't need a TV Licence?

How long?

How long until they classify the Internet as an apparatus for receiving broadcast television and start charging us for an 'Internet licence'? This legislation is a foot in that particular door and should be opposed at every turn.

Re: Sad pretty much not being able to use the PC

You mean like a Microsoft smartphone? You're right, I've never had a problem with it! FYI, I've recently had to root and clear out two friends kids Android smartphones and my nieces' Android tablet to rid them of malware.

Climate change will 'cause huge increase in murder, robbery and rape'

I see his reasoning, after all, aren't all those types from the 'hotter countries' a bit more rapey than us civilised people?!

Ho, ho, HOLY CR*P, ebuyer! Etailer rates staff on returns REJECTED

What the fuck is all this 'Christmas jumper' shit. My work had it and I came in with my 'uniform' on - there should be a grumpy cat Icon.

There used to be an ongoing joke about having to wear the really bad jumper grandma had knitted for you at Christmas, now we have a AmercaniZed bastardisation that has turned into a tradition of Christmas jumper day 'for fun'. Twats.

Ebuyer can piss off too.

Bah humbug!

Getting it right on the second attempt: Sony Xperia Z1

I was looking at this and thinking hmmm looks nice, nice specs, good review, then it hit me, I remembered the grief I had with a Sony laptop, trying to get a replacement keyboard (user wanted white keys on a black laptop - god knows why)

They did the exact same model in silver with white keys, so you'd think that phoning up with the part number and asking for it in white would be a simple process - ahahahahahh no.

After much bandying around from department to department, manager to manager and absolutely hours on hold, days waiting on call backs, USELESS customer support I got no where and told them to shove it and told them that no Sony hardware would ever cross my palms again. That also reminds me I need to cancel my pre-ordered PS4!

Climate change even worse than you thought: It causes war and murder
