Please provide us a streaming service we can pay for that doesn't involve rolling libraries or fucking about with what is allowed where.

Re: Not that bothered..
Not sure who downvoted you, but the sad reality is you're probably right :/
I really wouldn't care if they did though because at the end of the day it genuinely doesn't matter and the role can easily allow it, but all the Fucking Fanfare that goes with it just demeans every single step of progress we have made in equality ......

Re: Lack of useful customer data to blame
@whitter.
Use a VPN- VM have been doing this for years and it is a pain in the arse.
My mate was trying to watch my twitch stream (big streamers worked fine) and it was constantly buffering even down at 480p (nobody else had issues (BT) even at 1080p) he then switched to watching my steam stream and perfect stream at 1080p. They throttle traffic they don't think is important enough for them. Fuck VM will never recommend them. plenty of bandwidth and still throttle like mad during peak hours, they even have the balls to claim that they don't throttle traffic for top tier customers!!

If they want to do well
Please for the love of god,
A: Make your service accessible to as many devices as possible.
B: Don't try to control what we watch
C: Don't try to be too clever about it we don't need AI selections based off what my neighbours watch, if you really want that, that can all come later when the service is already working and making you money.

as Golcd states the link is there to the image, but it is also not in the their article, it is in the comments.
I am surprised El-Reg is not prepared to put its name on the line and publish the image.

Same way if somebody charged you £50 to goto the loo, you would think twice and hold it in or piss on their doorstep.

Rollout of smart meters continues at a snail's pace
Thursday 22nd December 2016 16:32 GMT
Came here to say the same, My meter came with a monitor that kept on spazzing out and every now and then said I was using £56~ per hour, dutifully I complained, and promptly told, "nothing we can do that meter is no longer supported, you will need to replace the entire system to get a working monitor"
Well that was fun whilst it lasted ......

Re: Vne of 25 kts at landing approach height? Really?
Not quite the same ballpark regarding weight, but this always amazes me how easy he makes it look !!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08K_aEajzNA
But regarding the weight, just use a Chinook (my preference) or larger Helicopter, could easily handle the weight. and speeds are so low they can be matched easily so again no major difficulty.

Wow adam52, nice way to try and slew the whole conversation, to your favour. Lets review what your describing as an analogy.
The "unannounced left hook" you described in relation to the first situation describes rape, and no actually I wouldn't believe it or not.
But while there your chatting and he shows you a few moves and yeah you have a little tussle. That is almost considered a normal healthy interest in something out of the ordinary.

Not sure why everybody seems to be on the bash wagon for this product.
They are looking at making a VR headset whilst addressing all the current issues.
Personally I have always shunned the idea of VR as I would be forever knocking my beer over onto my keyboard / desk/ computer. Having augmented VR sounds bloody perfect (the Vive almost did it for me). I also have to wonder about the latency though, that's going to be weird to get past if at all possible.
I love the fact it can be used wireless, yes i know Vive are almost there with that too :)
*disclaimer, I am an avid fan of ALL VR but suffer from motion sickness and lack of funds to even bother trying it :D

Re: Wood behind the trees
@AC
Saying you don't give a charity money because they spend too much on admin is precisely as intelligent as saying you don't buy a company's products because they spend too much money on marketing.
I do exactly that, when a company pisses me off with intrusive ad's I will actively avoid them. It's called voting with your wallet and I do it for a few other reasons too.

Re: Sorry to sound like an old grumpy.. ..
@d3vy you deserve some support as people are jumping the gun and being all SJW'ey
Same here, I edited Deadpool and removed the more extreme parts, as the media made a frenzy of the film online and one of my kids really really really wanted to see it, so I made it possible. I can remember watching Terminator when I was a kid well under 18, and I consider myself to be well adjusted, have good morals and loathe violence.
I don't let my kids play GTA either, to many complex questions to answer for their age, but we do play Rainbow Siege six together, along with a host of other games including : Farming Sim, Factorio, C&C. I even allow them to play with my mates on Teamspeak, they even hear bad language, yet funnily enough know its wrong and make the choice not to use it as that is how they have been taught / parented.

Re: Randomised keypads
Sooo what your saying is as my kid is also severely dyslexic, I better stop reading and writing, it might be considered unfair on him.
Also remember if you see somebody in a wheelchair lie down and shuffle about to get where your going..........
It would only be unfair on you if it was the only option available and was forced you to use it.

I tried shield streaming .... I was not impressed. before you go and splurge out for another card go check on youtube and look for compatibility with your games.
Its basically a remote desktop done badly for what I used.
I am finding after years and years of only having Nvidia cards, I am propbably going to make my next purchase a AMD card .... Got fed up of being screwed over by driver updates :( on a 660Ti 3GB and my frames have dropped from solid 60 to average of 40 with spikes as far down as 25 :( same game no changes except drivers (needed to update them to play another game)
