It really doesn't. Mine is sitting on the corner of the desk, in otherwise unusable space. The footprint on the desk is less than a laptop.
Or you could get a Mac Mini or similar sized PC, or even a NUC. They will be at least as powerful as a laptop, and take up a lot less space.
I'm boycotting Western Digital, because they changed their Red Drives to be SMR without telling anyone.
Then, when people complained about really long resilvering times, told them that they shouldn't be using drives advertised as suitable for use in Network Attached Storage in a Network Attached Storage device.
That's not quite true. If Amazon were over the distance selling threshold for the UK (I think it was about £75,000), and they would have been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over that limit, then they were required to register for UK VAT and charge that to their customer.
For a smaller company, for example if you phoned a small local bookshop in France to order a French language book that you couldn't get here, then yes, they would have charged French VAT on the sale.
Speedtest on O2 - 55 down, 15 up
Speedtest on Plusnet - 53 down, 14 up
Yes I know those are not typical O2 speeds, I have a particularly good signal. The mast is attached to the same street cabinet as my landline connection, and the very short 4G hop works slightly better than the somewhat longer run of telephone wire.

If you just want the summary, then
"Example
V Ltd bought 100 token A for £1,000. A year later V Ltd bought a further 50 token A for £125,000. V Ltd is treated as having a single pool of 150 of token A and total allowable costs of £126,000.
A few years later V Ltd sells 50 of its token A for £300,000. V Ltd will be allowed to deduct a proportion of the pooled allowable costs when working out its gain:
Amount
Consideration £300,000
Less allowable costs £126,000 x (50/150) £42,000
Gain £258,000
V Ltd will have a gain of £258,000 and will need to pay CT on this. After the sale, V Ltd will be treated as having a single pool of 100 token A and total allowable costs of £84,000.
If V Ltd then sold all 100 of its remaining token A then it can deduct all £84,000 of allowable costs when working out the gain."
Sure, but you can have the idiot's guide to taxing your car on .gov.uk; which is what most people will need; and links from there to all the detailed intricacies on car tax that taxation experts need to know about. And probably several links, because there is the registration tax that car dealers pay when they sell a new car, the annual tax that drivers pay, and P11D tax on company cars.
Über weren't even the first company in the UK to allow you to book minicabs via an app.
Others give you a choice of local mini-cab firms and a price / ETA for each one; so you can choose which one you want to go with. Because the firms are able to set their own prices, and customers can choose which one they want to go with based on that, their local reputation, previous experience with them and so on; that puts them very clearly on the right side of the law in this respect.
Apple stopped supplying security updates in December last year. The most recent one for sudo wasn't patched in High Sierra.
If you go to DosDude, you can get the patches to Hackintosh Mojave and later versions on it. Mojave runs fine on my Mid-2010 MacBook Pro.
Probably best to do a clean install, and remember to repatch everytime you install an OS update, otherwise it won't boot.
It is not a disk image. You configure an xml file with the options you want (eg language and the products you want to down load).
Then you run setup with some command line options to download the files, which are a few .cabs plus a very large "stream.x64.x-none.dat" (or substitute x64 if you go with the 32 bit option) and a smaller file where you substitute "none" with your choice of language.
Then you can run setup again to actually install it. I have it sitting on the server, and install it to desktops from there.

There was an article in the Sunday Telegraph on 30th January

Presumably in the print edition on 31st January.
Nominet claim that this would disrupt their efforts to secure the NHS.
Not sure how that works. The only involvement they have with the NHS is the registration for the nhs.uk domain name. Subdomains for individual hospitals and so on, such as ouh.nhs.uk, should they want to visit their local hospital, are handled by NHS Digital.

I mean there is some evidence that vitamin D deficiency can increase the severity of symptoms, and given that vitamin D deficiency is a bad thing anyway, and there are no risks from taking reasonable levels of vitamin D supplements, you should do it, and I am doing it.
Just don't expect it to be a magic bullet though. I still take all the other precautions, and once they get to whichever priority group I'm in, probably group 28 or thereabouts, I will take the vaccine.
Rossi tried that. It didn't work. He also tried a cold fusion device. There isn't much evidence yet to suggest that it is working either, though no doubt his fanbois will disagree. And a waste to oil thing, which he ended up getting jailed for.
But, a lot of energy is used to produce heat. If you have heat that is otherwise going to go to waste, then it is worthwhile looking to see if someone can make use of it.
My carefully arranged bookcase backdrop doesn't move during zoom calls either. Zoom doesn't transmit the cat face as a vector image, so I doubt that the bitrate requirements are any less than for a human face. Analysing the human face and rendering it as a cat face however does require quite a bit of CPU/GPU work, and that will draw more power.
