The fact that I cannot find this information is troubling
But, even more troubling is sh1tnannigans like this:
"HMRC’s current chief digital and information officer Jacky Wright is on a two-year secondment from Microsoft, scheduled to end this October. "
Having done a 24 hour walk in the Lakes a couple of years ago, and completely bombing during the circadian low, there are no apologies necessary for a FUBAR....
However, first job out of school was floor manager at Maccy D's. We had our bi-annual replacement of fluorescent tubes once.... The all nighter consisted of about 3 hours of work, followed by hours of playing star wars with the tubes in the attic.... This is the kind of all nighter we can all get behind :-)
We quite often see various exhibitions on the south bank here in Nodnol that highlight the plight of various cultures / animals / buildings etc. Furthermore, when the Tate first opened, it had an exhibition of everything they'd pulled out of the Thames when building the Clipper pier (which I did, and still do find more interesting than anything else that's been in there)
We have to highlight this And we have to educate. And educate. And educate. And Punish
(I don't know if anyone else noticed the high amount of fishing nets that were encasing the turtles)
I work in MDM..... And one of the biggest issues I face with customers is that apple, when bring a device under management, call the device, well, you've guessed it, iPad or iPhone
Why they can't use some non persistent random string, I don't know. I do get customers calling to ask if a device can be brought back under management because the wrong "iPhone" was wiped...
Bootnote: Yes, I know, devices can be renamed, but, if you've every worked with managing devices in education, you'd be fully aware of the toomfoolery that the yoof of today get up to.
My rowlett (RIP) toaster is exactly the same.It's had ONE set of elements in 20 years and the mechanism inside is astoundingly simple. It will still be going in 20 years
I occassionally look at the newer stuff in john lewis and it just looks garbage :-(
I did one of those "who do I vote for given my beliefs" thing at the last election, thinking I'd come out "lib dem". Was surprised that I actual came out Labour, who do appear to have a uch better grip on the climate than the Tories, who seem to use the RAF as their own personal Uber
Recently back from Scotland where I hired a very excellent Polestar 2 (a car I've hired multiple times before)
Also recently discovered that I could use the Tesla Superchargers.
1. They are quick! Up to 80KW for my car
2. They are cheaper than pretty much everywhere else
3. Sign up with the app was a doddle
What makes this stand out even further was the pish experience I had with every other charging provider:
Shell: Bin bags over the chargers
BP: Painted lines for the chargers but no chargers
Some other provider: CCS error
So I ended up charging at the airport for more than double what Tesla were charging
And yet, the petulant clown throws his toys and best engineers out of the (electric) pram
I'm playing whack-a-mole at the moment with nationalistic, AI created images of some turk atop a steed fighting some reptile, or genetically deformed bulldogs. Every time I block a page, another pops up in its place
Facebook truly is garbage
Ib only go on because I like watching cats do crazy things....
Yep. Probably more so.
I'm in Singapore right now, and had to walk through Shoppes (Yes, really) at Marina Bay Sands. As it was minutes after opening, all the purveyors of luxury tat had their employees stood like zombies staring into their iDevices. Literally, every single one. At least 30 of them.
If it's already got those of voting age hooked, how damaging is it to those who can't make informed judgements?
I use Vinegar on iOS and macOS which has made, crap content notwithstanding, watch youtube a pleasant experience
However, I also understand the need to support the very content I'm watching
And, Google, if you're watching: It doesn't need to be content-ad-content-ad-content
It can be banners whilst watching the content. Or a side bar, or a whole host of other things. I see this quite often in the US when watching motorracing: we'd all hate to miss a moment of interest because of ads, so there's picture in picture and a whole host of other techniques used.
So, this doesn't need to be binary. I'm sure that you can com up with a better way of serving ads that are so intrusive
Greenland.Has stayed pretty much where it's currently at for a LONG time. Before the splitting of the atlantic, Scotland (north of Inverness) was connected to greenland until the splitting of the atlantic. However, south of carlisle was once 60 degrees south of the equator! Cornwall: well, that's another story. But, the north american plate is relatively stable
I really do. I have to use Apple, Microsoft and Google as part of my work, and Apple really do make things simple.
But, Tim, for the love of everything that is holy, stop being a prick. You can't evangeliise about all sorts of stuff when governments have to force you to do the right thing
USB-C, 3rd party app stores, right to repair, iMessage, etc. Don't even get me started about the inability to move my itunes purchases from one account another (if you mention family sharing, I'll start throwing things)
Tim, you come across as being a nice bloke. But, secretly, I believe that you use a combination of O'Leary and Musk as role models
