Re: Quite frankly ...
Far less to go wrong? Really?
How often do you see a broken down car these days, despite a far higher number of cars?
How often do you have to mess around with the carbd, because the engine is running rich?
Fouled spark plugs?
Kangarooing down the road because the choke isn't quite right?
Car not starting? Heck I freaked out the other day, because it took TWO attempts.
We moan about not being able to "tinker" with the car, but that's because we don't have to.
Heck, a £20 cable and the bloody thing tells you why it's not running right.
Rose tinted glasses and all that.

China: Attacks from US IP addresses hit us, moved on to Russia and Ukraine

To be fair...
75% of attacks on my site come from the US. They may not be launched by US citizens, but that is the point of origin (MS seem to be favour of the week at the moment).
I have noticed a huge uptick from Singapore, but again, just the source.
Of course, the new ones from Russia could equally be from the US or EU.

Re: I'm thinking about a lot more than this
I quit IT 5 years ago aged 45, after completely losing the plot. Being on call every other week (including bank Holidays), work varying from utter boredom to unbelievable stresses piled on top of home life issues took a toll do bad it led to suicidal thoughts and being on antidepressants for 2 years.
So I walked out after not being able to face going in. I applyed for the first job that needed no experience.
I gave up the pointless shit you buy when you have money. My current career has absolutely nothing to do with IT, but is varied and interesting. I just went in at the bottom, but belted through multiple areas and when applying for another internal job, got head hunted by the director of the top division. It was all down to attitude and the having worked in IT, the so called "high pressure" job was a walk in the park.
Fancy restaurants? Why, pub grub is just as good and the service and company is usually better.
Buying coffee and sandwiches? Why, make your own. A left over curry you made is better lunch than some crappy shop bought sandwich.
Buy 2nd hand. In the pask I've bought an oak coffee table for £15, an amazing leather sofa for £50, CDs, books and games can be picked up for next to nothing from charity shops (independentscare best).
Then there is the change of expectations. Now I love going on walks, discovering British History and visiting unusual places.
If you change what is important, your life will massively improve.

I'm sorry...
... Having worked in a charity for year, and used Charity Digital (formally TT Exchange) then you should be 100% aware this can, and often does happen.
Any half competent charity will know that things change every single year and you should allow for variations like this. It could be a local council funding, or a small or large business, very often with zero notice.
They could of just as easily ended it or changed the qualification criteria, it's happened with loads of vendors before and no doubt will happen again.
Yes it sucks, but I just want to put out they are not the first, or last to do this.

Re: More substance less symbolism
I'll take example my teacher used about littering.

"It's not a problem, it's just when 55 million people have the same attitude as you"
An individual makes little difference, but
a thousand or a million of individuals making the same difference has a huge effect.

Having had a breakdown due to excessive hours and endless on call callouts I say FUCK YOU.
Now in a poorly paid job, doing over time when I and only I, decide I want to, in an interesting role with very little stress. I could not be more content with life.
If you hate your job, quit. Give up the stuff you don't need (I cope on a 1/3 of my old salary) and enjoy the one life you have.

Going by the statement, it says activity malicious activity on the network.
It may be on a internal server that orders the pencils. As a precaution they gave taken everything offline until they can see what is wrong.
A sensible approach.

"Chinese engineers are every bit a match for their American counterparts.
Yeah. Maybe when it comes to microwave ovens or dishwashers. Otherwise, they're really not."
NASCAR engines are still made from cast iron, that's high tech USA engineering..... Oh and just to rub it in, many made in the UK. I know, we make them in the same foundry as diesel train engines.

"My old wargaming club's annual competition & trade show ditched the GW presence entirely long, long ago - when they insisted the show be GW, or not at all."
My guess is you were using their branding or trademarks and they have every right to enforce their terms on this.
If you don't use their registered trademarks or branding there is absolutely nothing they can do.
In short, come to our wargaming club and play is OK. Come to our wargaming and play Warhammer 40,000 will be a trademark infringement.

Re Smart Thermostats / Timers
I know a few people who love them.
Oddly they are the people that work really random shift patterns (think NHS staff) so a 7 day timer is just a waste of time as the have to be reprogramed constantly.
Now they just turn it on before leaving work, saving money and energy on heating an empty house.
