Microsoft points to a golden future where you can make Windows 10 your own
Well slap my ass and call me Judy, Microsoft's Surface Pro 6 is just as hard to fix as the old one

Re: Green Credentials
Reduce
I am a big proponent of that.
Got to my mid 50s on 4 TVs.
10 years per TV not bad, nearly time for number 5.
Home PC is 10 years old and still works OK, last mod was adding a drive for Windows 7.
Reuse, as well, yes I do that, old work mobiles get given to sons rather than they have new ones, they are happy with mid market Androids, but none want my current phone.
Recycle, do that as well.
Only thing is that I do have to spend a lot very occasionally, my last CRT TV was £1200

Re: What a mess.
Deserve what I get?
Yes a reliable OS not constantly changing its GUI to fashion on the month, with a properish start menu and no Ford Cortinas.
I only use 3 or 4 web sites (this, BBC, and a few others).
I sit here and write code, I do not want nor need all the cruft in 10
I struggle with both 2D and greyscale GUIs.
I also think that the stress of Windows 10 could trigger adverse heath issues, I have had time off before with stress and would rather not again.
If I have to fight the main tool of my job I would be at risk, less productive and more likely to chuck it all in. (My pension pot is bigger than what is left on my mortgage).
As our next software will be multi platform I hope I can replace with something non MS

Re: Would you like more bloat with your Samsung sir?
I detest my work phone, right POS, bloat is ridiculous and was force installed when originally either not there or I had deleted it.
Now what effect will it have elsewhere?
Only other stuff I have had from them has been hard drives, now owned by Western Digital.
When I need a new TV, there are a few top end high quality brands and some Samsung owners I know have had issues, had to return to shop and change brand over HDMI control issues.

Got new one in box scared to open it
Due to my current work phone being an absolute PITA to use.
Previous 2 HTC were OK
Now got a Samsung and a new one to replace it.
Too much bloatware, and keeps beeping mid phone calls to activate some Samsung shit or other.
A few months ago Faecesbook arrived, and I could not unistall it, was not on before but now was stuck.
Google data usage and Samsung data usage on unused services are both more than my Firefox data usage.
Anyway I need to root my new one and hope for the best.
Even Mrs "Should be happy you get a free phone" in our office upstairs is moaning about it. Others still have in the box scared to extract it.
I have also been winding up a workmate with a Samsung TV asking if pay has force installed itself yet!

Just use an old debit/credit card.
It is THAT Yale isn't it?
I keep an old debit card in my pocket as it is easier to get in the house using that than hunt for the key.
I keep saying, top lock is rubbish use the bottom lock (deadlock).
So if any other family member uses the Yale I use my old debit card, then mention so can thieves.

Re: overnment is planning to make directors personally liable
He had no rear brake either
Front BRAKEs do not throw you over the handlebars, they just work efficiently due to weight transfer.
On real bikes (ones with engines), twin discs with multi piston calipers is common, and braking is absolutely phenonimal, stoppies are perfectly doable.
On my MBT I can put the front brake on hard and slow down quite well.
Front brakes throwing people over the handlebars is just bullshit.

Not looked for any particular things but that site is full of people being convicted. Some are very funny.
Some are very horrible.
I would recommend that ABC stops trying to get it removed as everyone will wonder if they are a drunk driver, or a play with self in court, or a prolific Sperm Donor.
If ABC is reading, search for Streisland effect.

Re: Oh great
Been there done that with a found burnt out car, ended up putting phone down with "forget it".
Oh and my lttle lane runs parallel to my commute so if sunny a nice drive, unless blocked by fly tippers. Perhaps if caught by a bunch of green laners they can burn the tipped stuff, the pickup/van and the tippers.

I have free phones with work and
they are lucky that the only reason I have not lump hammered them into behaving is that they are worth £60 at CEX.
Cheap Samshits, all they do is force install Samshit shovelware. Very bad for stress levels.
Seen my new one, Samshit again. That is going to be rooted before it is used so all the Samshit shovelware will not install.
The current one was not too bad, just silly light up pretend buttons, until an OS update force installed Faecesbook and broke the camera*
Start of the rot, then shovelware and camera breaking every few days. Dented from being thrown at a wall. My wife had to take a lump hammer off me once when some banking compulsaryware installed and started itself.
* Added a silly button which was in the way which added stupid masks to the pictures, and also made the camera work the wrong way round. How can you compose a photo when the screen is facing away from you?
