Oh yeah, those spineless cowards who were the only ones with the power to prevent it.

'Death sentence': EU cloud lobby takes Broadcom to Brussels over VMware partner purge

Microsoft startup credits are the gift that keeps on billing unsuspecting users
Thursday 19th March 2026 18:34 GMT 
So let me get this right...
..MS offered an extra item and people presumed it was free? They complain that AWS gives it free, so therefore they just presumed MS would as well?
Soooo....just because Sky gave away "free" Netflix if I went to Virgin and added it, I just presume it's free, then complain I'm getting billed for it.
I'm not defending MS, they are as big a scummy company as Amazon, but what is it about presumptions and mother's?

Governments across Asia order work from home, thanks to Iran war

Re: Duh. The "Leader of the Free World" is out of his mind.
"Tell that to the thousands of Iranians that the Ayatollah murderd for protesting."
Tell that to the 10s, if not 100's of thousands tortured and murdered by the Shah that came to power thanks to a CIA operation to overthrow the existing government that led to the Iranian revolution in the first place.
US regime change intervention usually end up in a complete shitshow.
Arming the Taliban? Great work lads.
Collapse of Iraq? Rise of ISIS. Good job.
The reason many Arab states tolerated Iran / Iraq was they were too busy killing each other to bother anyone else.
Then the USA lied about WoMD and toppled Sadam. Not only did it create power vacuum that led to the rise of ISIS, but also allowed Iran to become far more powerful.
No with Iran flattened, and the inevitable power vacuum and poverty to follow, this leave Isreal as the most powerful country in the region, which quite rightly has all the other Arab states on edge.
Whitehall can't cost digital ID until it decides how to build it

Government digital schemes are a joke
I've mentioned on here before how I have two government IDs (somehow) and I can't do anything with either of them, because one failed some stupid validation and now I can't use the other because of the failed validation.
So here is another example.
My dad is now 80 and has had to renew his license.
So I tried to do it online.
Went through half of the the DVLA (or whatever it's fucking called this week), then it said he needed to use his Government id. I said fuck that as he doesn't have an email address and guess what I can't use mine see above.
So he did it via post.
It's got lost in the post.
It's now expired.
Tried again online, same trauma. So I set up an email address he'll never use. Did all the date of birth, then it asks for photo id. Well his passport long expired and his driving license has got lost.
Ok try other methods, so enter all the bank details and now he needs to use his Government One Login "WTF!", so try setting that up, and yet again needs photo id, but no option this time to use another method.
Great news though, he can go to the Post Office and show the photo ID he doesn't have and the one login account we can't set up.
He's now back to attempting to get hold of them by phone.
How the fuck is some who doesn't have access to someone tech literate supposed to deal with this shit.
GOVERNMENT DIGITAL SCHEMES ARE A FUCKING JOKE.

UK mobilizes lawyers to keep report on Gatwick 'drone' chaos under wraps
Friday 6th March 2026 13:14 GMT
Re: The drones never existed
"The whole caper at Gatwick was part of an orchestrated campaign to demonise drone "flyers and other model aircraft hobbyists"
If you're flying drones or model aircraft near a major international airport, then you should be hung by your thumbs and forced to eat every damn component of the kit, including the box it came in.

UK watchdog eyes Meta's smart glasses after workers say they 'see everything'
Friday 6th March 2026 08:10 GMT
"No, you don't have any right to not be filmed when you are out in public. The key word that should give you a hint is "public"
Correct, but equally you DO have a right on how data is processed and how a 3rd party processes that data.
There have been legal precedents (in the US at least) where the Police argued that storing and using number plate images from Flock cameras didn't require a warrant, claiming that it's in public view.
The judge counted that individual images didn't violate laws and didn't require warrants, the combining of that data and building a profile from it did.
So in the case of Meta, if they aggregate facial scans from potentially thousands of images, they can build a profile of a person, or person....and that IS illegal.

I've helped plenty of people sort out credit.
1st up, is she on the electoral roll?
Does she have a mobile phone contract in her name? That counts.
Sign up with someone like credit kama and it will give you a list of ways to improve your score.
Barclays as mentioned before will usually offer cards with lower limits.
If she gets a card, just spend day £10 a month on it, and pay it if each month (set an auto pay direct debit to ensure no missed payments)

Nice idea...
...I totally support this, but I'd fire a warning shot first and not just throttle them, but out right ban them, for say for initial 4 hrs, then 8, then 24, then 48 etc.
Think as these billionaire scum as the spoilt brats they are. Keep making them sit in the corner until they learn behave.
