Re: Fail

It's only wankers that get precious over ingredients. Just eat the stuff you like.

Re: Trusting trust, again

VS code is not the toolchain it just runs the toolchain, depending on how you set it up.

You can run the toolchain independently of VS code and see if you get the same output.

The trust onus is on the toolchain.

The BBC are reporting this:

But I doubt that many people in Britain are much interested in some bloke in the US throwing a strop because he's banned from Chavbook and Twatter.

Re: Microsoft is actively ignoring all what is not Azure

All that extra RAM is actually a good thing, that’s your buffer cache and ideally it would be big enough to contain your entire database, but at least all the extents that get used frequently. That RAM could give you more performance than your cpu cores and hence licenses. The additional SQL seats though, or the core licensing model is now starting to feel less value for money than it used to.

Re: Pretentious, Moi?

The A10 has a Porsche and Aston Martin showroom very close to a Ducati dealers at Harston. I keep being tempted to visit and see how long it takes them to ask me to leave. That's as exciting as it gets. Or maybe the Foxton level crossing.

Re: W11

I'm only being offered W10 20H2

I must be doing something wrong.

Re: To quote a well known phrase...

"It turns out that the hybrid rocket motor isn't infinitely scalable."

What rocket motor, or indeed motor of any kind is "infinitely" scalable?

Re: Anti Competitive

Hardware limitations are what the software maker is prepared to say that their stuff will work on. Not to stop you installing it on what you like as long as you understand you are on your own.

Like a best before date, it’s your choice if you want to eat something after that date, but don’t complain to the food maker if you end up with an arse like a bottle of Baileys.

Re: A Mixed Bag for me

I've just counted my laptops that I have for different use cases .I'm a bit shocked.

And I still want an M1 MB Pro to add to the collection.

Re: IIts Gambling... mostly

It's not a national currency. But currency of nations is one definition that doesn't entirely cover the meaning of currency.

It's a currency if it's a medium of exchange that people are willing to use.

Re: "a fully glass back, replacing the standard aluminium enclosure"

Schematics? What are the repair shops going to do with them?

Repair of this type of kit is by subassembly. Apple can make it hard by binding parts with digital signatures. Like with the fingerprint scan button. Though that was a reasonable security need. Otherwise, 3rd party parts are plentiful.

Re: Seems like the least reason to dump them

Create a ScotCloud network of data centre zones powered with abundant hydro energy to cover national government work with enough capacity to meet the needs of all the local gov and councils. Internal charge the councils less than the money they would waste with corporate cloud to cover costs. Develop a commercial arm.

Re: Let's move away from remuneration shall we, and consider the wider society

I don’t drive well In snow and I’m not alone.

I’m actually quite happy to drift a rally car on loose surface, but when it fresh snows on public road shared with other people, I stay off the road until it’s cleared. There are a lot of people who should consider doing the same.

Re: Diplomacy

A ridiculous farce on both sides. RN knew it was going to happen which is why there were press reporters including from BBC onboard.

Re: I'm an World Class drinker - ask me anything

Not something to be proud of @Danny 2.

It's not the drink that's the problem, more the drinking culture.

Yes, I’m quite happy with the anti fart app approach on iPhone. People want to side load, buy a different phone.

Re: Surprised?

Surely anyone who has made a mint enough to invest big in this, is smart enough to see an offer like this and just dismiss it instantly?

I guess you can’t account for folk that come by money easily, by inheritance or whatever.

You just called baseball players from all over the world 'assholes'. For no reason. Just because they're wearing their team's ballcap on the field - which is a requirement of the sport.

The entire baseball uniform is a comedy clown outfit to non-baseball cultures.

Got me thinking, trying to recall the last time I handled any cash. I can't remember.

Re: El Reg you’ve failed to mention

Also, it’s also only about the tunnels in the centre. For example, most of the Piccadilly line out to Heathrow is overground and people just use their phones as normal already.

America's Ivy League are still turning out plentiful world class science and engineering people, compared to the rest of the world. This is the reason that the Chinese want to get their best people into US universities.

Re: Going back in time

Or W10 R2.

I don't really care what they do. I'll use what I need to do the job, the whole thing has lost its old novelty appeal of new things being offered. I don't spend time playing with an OS, I launch my applications and forget the OS and whatever it is doing behind.

Re: re. That doesn't mean that the citizens of Israel are responsible for those things.

Just like the Brits, all Brits, are collectively responsible for the (current) and all previous wankers ruling the UK

Tosh. Absolute bollocks from someone who is desperate for a grievance. Your kind of shit stirring attitude is the greater problem.

It's like planning a space mission in the 1920s

Robert Goddard planned a space mission in the 1920s. Tsiolkovsky earlier still. Look how that turned out.

Do nothing, achieve nothing.

Re: Desktop is boring?

Thought one day we'd grow out of that, clearly not.

It’s true but you shouldn’t say it here.
