Fresh UK postcode tool points out best mobile network in your area

Wrong

The checker is wrong, at least where I live. The map data looks reasonable, but the summary does not relate to it. I tried to give feedback that I get good indoor coverage when it says I will not, but the only options are that the coverage is worse than stated.

Not a good start!

Cisco combines Meraki and Catalyst into single wireless brand

Re: And the Enshittification continues...

Cisco may be more expensive, but the Meraki management site is very easy to use and they are reliable.

Clearly you or your love done has never been in that position. It is a very difficult time for the whole family and for this to change a difficult decision at the last minute would have been almost unbearable for her and them. If I were you I'd do the decent thing and delete your idiotic comment.

Microsoft gives Hyper-V ceilings a Herculean hike

24/7

The reason we regularly use a hypervisor when only one guest is needed on the host is for mission critical 24/7 applications. Do it with a cluster of two (or more) hosts and you can update the hardware without any impact on the guest OS, simply by moving it to another host.

Re: To be fair on BMW

I had a MK1 Range Rover with offroad tyres and no power steering for 5-6 years. Now that was a beast!

Elite

Elite was without doubt the best space simulator ever, probably still is. I've certainly never found anything better!
