What's the problem, consolidating all the feeds to one site with each feed having a headlining article that leads to a sub section common practice.

User unboxed a PC so badly it 'broke' and only a nail file could fix it

Reminds me of the time we did a hardware refresh of dell AIOs, we had bought some nice trollies that could move 30 at a time safely for deploying to desk, sadly not so safe as we found around 50 with scratch screen, as the staff that had been invited in to help and work overtime, had ignore our orders and stacked them on top of each of other screen to screen. Dell refused to warranty as it was user damage, even when reminded of size of hardware order and I don't blame them.
Actors' union complains about Epic Games cloning Darth Vader

AI will win, SEJ signed over his rights to allow Lucas/AI to use his voice, is there a clause on his death that SAG-AFTRA continue to represent him or even have the right overrule his or his estates rights to do whatever he/they likes with his personal IP. This sounds more like SAG-AFTRA desperately trying to protect the money train and in some ways is right, for living members, without separate agreements.
Torvalds' typing taste test touches tactile tragedy

I use the Corsair K57 RGB Wireless Gaming Keyboard, wired to my laptop dock during the day and charging and wireless to gaming PC and hate the thing, feels like I'm constantly misspelling or not getting a key registered. Wasn't cheap but don't feel as if it was value for money.
My favourite keyboard ever, was an ICL DRS (Black Tactile Space Invaders Switches), clicky but not overly loud and accurate key pressing and trained me up to a respectable 55 wpm.
Dilettante dev wrote rubbish, left no logs, and had no idea why his app wasn't working

Back in my youth, was working for local council computer department when they had a full mainframe rig, was tasked with writing some Cobol code for the benefits section and was told off for putting in extensive comments, as they complained how much extra memory it would take when running on the mainframe. They couldn't grasp that the code was compiled, and comments ignored, so being the junior, I ripped out all the comments. I had a phone call from my old boss a few years later after I had left asking if I knew why such and such was misbehaving after they had done some code updates but they couldn't follow the source code, now leaving on good terms with him, hoping to return if possible, I told him I left a copy of all my code in my notes folder, hidden at the back of the old fire safe that held tape backups and disaster recovery stuff. Met up with him the next weekend and he got me well and truly wasted on fine ale.

If Google is forced to give up Chrome, what happens next?

Chrome makes no money directly from Google, the revenue is from the ads that the data Chrome recovers uses to target users.
Google could as easily just say, screw this and just hand over Chrome to an open source Foundation and say let them provide the core browser but with a stipulation that Google is the default search engine and let the minions fight over what features they add to diversify.
No monopoly, Chrome can become many versions but retain compatibility and the potential of thousands of developers to brainstorm, it worked for Linux but this time they can fix some of the issues that Linux has from the beginning.
UK's smaller broadband operators face tough road ahead, consolidation possible

Communication Networks, should be modelled on the energy sector, Openreach and VM02 networks should be merged in to one infrastructure supplier who charges ISP for access to network at a capped price by OFCOM who has more power for the consumer and not just protecting the industry. BT, VM should be split up in to regions and offered to smaller players give the a bigger footprint and offer better opportunities and alternatives.

What the **** did you put in that code? The client thinks it's a cyberattack

A colleague of mine had put together a PowerPoint for the top dogs and had used various placeholder names for information for us to put information that he formatted and on the last page he had a placeholder for "any other shit that the bean counting cretins will want" and yes never removed it. Thankfully it must have been a long day and nobody noticed but our boss giving the presentation and quickly blocked the screen before switching slides.
European biz calls for Euro tech for local people
Fujitsu promised to sit out UK deals ... then Northern Ireland called with £125M

If nobody wants the job and Fujitsu UK are available, then give it to them and keep the money in country to some extent and UK jobs active. A big difference to running land registry to financial system.
Yes everybody involved in the scandal should be held accountable, but at some point, we need to move on and no risk a people's jobs by limiting Fujitsu to breadcrumbs.

EU gives staff 'burner phones, laptops' for US visits

"Washington is not Beijing or Moscow," no they are worse, they are supposed to be friends and allies. Trump and his band of goons have destroyed decades of co-operation and trust, that will take many years once he is a shameful footnote in American history to repair, if at all. Many see his fascism as the wakeup call Europe needed to finally stand on it's own without the Bullly Boy USA pulling strings for it's own benefit.

This one weird trick can make online publishing faster, safer, more attractive, and richer

Surprised nobody has come up with a community-based news system, where you just add your favourites sites, a yearly payment based on some sort of metric and the user feasts on all they can handle, sites all share a % of the revenue. Yes, you'll get some big winners but no adverts or fussing with Patreon etc.
Apple's alleged UK encryption battle sparks political and privacy backlash

Funny that the USA a country notorious for secret courts and dodgy silencing laws, should be displeased with another countries attempts to do the same, because it's an American company! You think they would be supportive, as they can ask MI6 to tap an US citizens phone, tell nobody and no laws broken?
Microsoft adds another Copilot hotkey – this time for AI voice chat


Can just see the Windows development office in Redmond when Satya Nadella walks through the door ..
