Re: You know something's wrong

You're right. There's no way on earth you could change your ISP router or use a 2nd router in bridging mode. It's a good thing that the W3C didn't give any person or business the option to self-host their online identities because that crappy ISP router scenario would make it unworkable for everyone on the planet who tried to do this.

Re: controls to delete all or part of those records, or switch it off

how much of that history do I need to have on a commercial service in another country and jurisdiction?

Speaking of "another country and jurisdiction", it's only suddenly become a problem now it's become a problem in the US. It's not as if this isn't already a problem in a tonne of other countries around the world, but it seems Google wasn't even aware of it. I wonder how many legal requests they get in e.g. Middle Eastern countries for this kind of information.

And TinEye for longer.

Re: UNITE

How could you be anti-union if it appears you don't even know what a union is for?

But only if they drove clown cars.

Re: The right to tell you what to do

What's the best way to do this, another referendum where a simple majority wins, therefore England decides that Scotland and NI should have their legal systems subsumed into its own?

It seems the trend lately is running on original hardware or FPGA, so does running AmigaOS 3.2 (released last year) on Vampire or similar count as modern hardware?

Re: The real issue

It's not a sentient being because you call a function with words and it returns an answer and then everything stops, it's not like it's left alone with its own thoughts and will suddenly come to you and talk to you. It's like worrying if printf is a sentient being or not. It plainly isn't.

Re: Straightforward solution

There was also P3P which was ignored as well.

I'm beginning to see a pattern.

Re: "We have never – and would never"

"We have never – and would never – do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product, or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades," Apple told The Guardian

That statement has Johnsonian (or Trumpian) in its level of shamelessness, but I guess there are enough of the credulous who blindly trust such nonsense that it makes annoying the rest worthwhile.

Re: N900

Tried Maemo Leste?

Enable Services for NFS in Windows Features and connect to the NAS using NFS?

Re: /e/

Odd, I thought /e/'s client was based on K9, why did they need to remove that?

You could try installing K9...

Re: Machadaynu!

Well first of all they have to get to 1995 by fixing the start menu...

My God, what an unmitigated tragedy W11 is.

Re: That's weird

Maybe MS wants to clean up AB and have worked out the quickest way is to let employees unionise, it's more about signalling to AB management that they won't be allowed to interfere.

Re: And the UK ?

Germany and France's sockets are compatible if you use any modern plug though.

In Italy a new modern socket must be fitted which accepts Italian, French, and German plugs.

Then there are also double-insulated Europlugs which are compatible with all three sockets.

Re: The mystery

Mozilla was a subsidiary of Netscape between 1998-2003 and were responsible for the software, so it's difficult to absolve them of all blame.

W11 needs new special chips in a component shortage for no discernible reason. It's a plan so cunning that you could put a tail on it and call it a weasle.

Re: Charge the chargers

* funding.

Another opportunity to downvote in the face of reality!

Re: We're long past peak tech

Possibly useful with mobiles but computers will be on the LAN anyway.

And it took a few more major OS X releases for it to actually work with iPhones and of course it doesn't work with Android.

So I just use Bluetooth.

Re: No new installations?

Yes, but you can get the non-India trial and free India versions from apkmirror, if you trust apkmirror.

Re: And this is why...

Same here. I guess they're still in the middle of rolling it out to different models/networks/accounts/servers/whatever.

Re: $55 a month

All of it, but only when opened in front of a class?

It probably can't cope with a projector being plugged in and displays and stuff changing since the last time it was opened so it decides it needs to count the displays again... really... slowly.

Or it doesn't like not having internet.

Or God knows what, it's Adobe.

The next time it happens Dabbsy should say "Excrement! I want you to uninstall Creative Cloud. Uninstall it! All of it!" then his students will be sending on their desks and shouting "Oh Affinity My Affinity!" like in Dead Poets Society. Probably best to do it on retirement day just to be safe.
