Just for godsake get the civil service out of the picture.
Ukraine built a force to hold back Putin
The US stopped them winning by saying they could not use the techie weapons to hit Russian forces like airbases
We can make weapons of mass destruction just as well as the rest
Trident ?? Didn’t it massively fail launch last time they tried ?
Better off owning it
The agreement where US companies promise with sugar on top to move our data to the US and really really really promise not to look at it.
Whoever signed that should hang their heads in shame.
EU data should be in the EU exclude Hungary
UK data should be in the UK
It really is that simple
Those were the days.
Drag and drop, event driven compiled and deployed .exe
Now I need constant access to NPM to keep all the additional stuff upto date and they still don’t perform as fast as those early RAD languages
I thought we would be on the same level now with web Development but alas we seem to have gone backwards
VB & Delphi giants in the history of computing
I use bing when querying coding issues and frankly it has hit the target nearly every time.
It is getting better as well, I know no one on here wants to hear that but hey ho.
Thanks for the tip on not installing copilot with 365 I will be doing this.
Copilot is built into bing so why pay for it it’s free ?
So the UK energy user will have to pay extra to fund these connections and maintenance and then the UK consumer will have to pay for the electricity plus the profits of the data center.
Wow business just cannot lose can it, if it goes pear shaped then the UK tax payer has to step in and pay.
Sort of a heads we win, tails you lose and oh by the way we are keeping the coin and leave your coat here as well before you leave.
If you were to commit benefit fraud
You certainly would not be paying your wage / I’ll gotten gains in to the bank
That would create an audit trail with red flags everywhere
Just go to a monied area of the UK go into Starbucks or Costa and watch who pays with card and who uses cash
The wealthy use cash as it is untraceable
To try and get a single solution you get Birmingham council
Now add liability clauses and penalties and suddenly you get these suppliers running for the hills
We have masses of talent and we could spin up amazing teams in the UK to deliver this under the control of some exceptional managers
BUT
We will use the same failed suppliers yet again
I have been delivering software that meets the needs of the end user for the last 40+ years for at least since the mid 90’s I have been “agile”
Never missed a deadline , never failed to deliver
Agile is a mindset that just means get the job done
I personally go through the ceremonies of the client BUT then talk direct to the 3 amigos and work out exactly how we support each other and deliver
I love it
I could NEVER go back to the old waterfall techniques
With Germany and France producing the most cars in the EU at crazy prices
It is not surprising that the EU are whacking on tariffs
The cheapest EV that supports a family cost nearly £20k in the UK
A better car from China cost £10k
Same components bigger profit margin
It is just about the money
Already the UK has issued pointy sticks to its armed forces.
These are multi purpose
1. Jab someone unpleasantly
2. Throw and shout “Fetch” to deal with these “dog of war”
3. We are developing robo catz these canines will chase them
4. Strongly worded letter as a weapon of last resort
Don’t panic and carry on
That would focus minds.
From the most basic grunt to the CEO they are all held financially responsible.
Snatch back pensions / bonus etc and if that does not cover it then you go after their assets homes / car / clothes off their backs.
Pretty sure they would be reading the small print then.
They won’t ever like buy chips from another country that has Intel / Amd inside
They won’t pull it apart and follow the structures.
They won’t imitate and innovate.
Nope they are China they can only copy
USoA the 1980’s called and asked if this is a quick visit or if you are planning to stay awhile ?
The USA fought a war to be free from UK monarchy rule
They then instigated a whole system to LOCK its people down and install a new monarchy of money.
But tech are just the latest overlords and the final beauty is that the government is now $32 to in debt which can never be repaid.
As the USA collapses those money people will just head elsewhere.
Americans get your house in order get your country back.
It has taken a women from the EU to start the ball rolling.
