You might not see their problem but they do. First we can drop the tourist visa, I am talking about people who want to come here to live here and be productive here. Second my Russian friend cant come here unless she earns more than a certain amount and has the chicken and egg situation of needing a work visa to get a job but a job to sponsor a work visa. She has been looking into this for some time as she would love to move here.
Once again, you say "we could do this", "we will be able to do that" and being a member of the EU doesn't stop any of this happening now, while the UK is still a member of the EU. This is entirely Home Office policy.
Of course, a married EU national (or one who is in a civil partnership or even one who hasn't formalised their relationship) who has taken time off to bring up a family or care for dependents should be converted to a 12 month tourist visa.
Is it any wonder they're leaving in droves, having to read utter bilge like this all the time?
the situation should be simple to deal with - just 'grandfather in' any EU citizen who's already in the UK and working at Brexit time as 'legal immigrants with work visas'. shouldn't be too hard at that point.
(seriously making this all harder than it needs to be)
It'll easy if you don't know EU citizen rights (they don't have to be working), don't know how residency is proven (last five years of paperwork), and don't know how resident EU citizens can be distinguished from non-resident EU citizens at the UK border (they can't).
Not even changing things, just hiding them.
Google hides most of the URL, people don't know what a good URL looks like, Google hides EV info, people don't know if what they think is their bank's homepage is good or fake.
And we're back where we're started 25 years ago.
It's not to stop technically competent register readers, it's to provide some protection from idiots who go to the first 'new batteriez here' shop they find down a back ally.
You know there is a third option, a technically competent third party repair shop using high-quality parts or Apple original batteries taken from other broken iPhones. And this sows distrust in those places.
On this subject as well as on the subject of Apple screwing over people who need computers with a T2 chip repaired.
This kind of crap should be illegal both on consumer rights and on environmental grounds. They need to be fined billions because that's the only language they'll understand.
shutdown -h now for a second time: Mag editor fires parting shot at proprietary software
Fuze for the Nintendo Switch might be the most "plug and play" BASIC since the 8-bits, even more so than the Pi. Bring your BASIC with you, no TV needed.
Did a mass shooting or other terrorist act happen citing a website which is hosted or mirrored by a website infrastructure company? Yes -> get rid.
Is it a group which is intolerant and would happily suppress freedom of speech of others if it had the power to? Yes -> Get rid.
I see no problem whatsoever.
Can't ever remember a Democrat president using rhetoric so divisive as Trump's, or equivocating so much when the opportunity to condemn far-right behaviour comes up. I've never heard Trump talk like this even once.
So you see, Trump is not the root cause, but he's certainly a catalyst, not an inhibitor. His approach to politics uses divide and rule, and this is the result.
But if you bring a stick from another computer (or a network drive), it still needs the file extension to initially identify the file type before creating the hidden file. Then you get left with hidden files scattered all over the disk afterwards.
It copes with the use case of mounting the disk, detecting the file type from the extension, renaming the file extension away, and then using it, but that's hardly common.
Simplified Tab Groups with Waterfox?
But there appear to be tab group add-ons for Firefox 57+ now (Simple Tab Groups and Panorama View).
What gasted my flabber is the full quote:
"According to a third person familiar with the details, Boeing expects to have this new software architecture ready for testing toward the end of September. Meanwhile, it will continue certification activities in parallel so that it can stick to its announced schedule and hope for clearance from the FAA and other regulators in October."
Surely certification should be dependent on the results from testing?
Even if something is found in testing which requires a rewrite or even a redesign, the corporate pressure to get the plane out means it's simply not going to happen.
Unless there's a whistleblower, that plane is going to fly in autumn, at least in the US. The post-Brexit CAA rubber-stamping approval because the FAA did is also a horrible possibility.
This page here goes into it. Commodore yet again managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory... odd workarounds for bugs with their 8-bit computers (pretty unforgivable considering they made their own chips) combined with marketing-driven failure.
What has word size got to do with it?
Old hardware is predominantly 32-bit and distros are phasing out 32-bit support. This, coupled with drivers for non-USB floppy drives which are now being orphaned means that one day you'll only be able to use an out-of-date distro on older hardware.
VMs won't help with reading a real floppy drive on real hardware.
Commodore's disk drives for 8-bit computers were mental, internally were practically a second computer. If you wanted a directory listing you couldn't keep a program in memory as it generated a BASIC program for you that printed it to the screen.
Commodore also took years to fix hardware bugs because marketing wanted to maintain compatibility so the drives were a fraction of the speed they should have been. It was only when the C128 came out that they finally relented because drive performance was ridiculously slow compared to the competition and by that time the 8-bit market was slowing down anyway.
Installing into the user profile is and always was a kludge and a security hole you could drive a bus through (an executable or DLL can easily be overwritten). As Teams' roadmap is driven by things like memes and emoticons, the chances of any changes so that installation works as it should before S4B's EOL are non-existent.
Slow memory-hogging Electron app, everything has to be done in one window, no global name list, chat search has been terrible since the beginning, you can't chat and share your desktop without starting a call, etc... etc...
To think they could have just fixed the bugs in S4B.
