£200or so for an extra 128GB of SSD storage does feel as if they are going in dry..

Re: An answer in search of a question

What Windows on ARM really needs is x64 application compatibility, I imagine the performance overhead of emulating x64 on ARM means this is going to be a non starter for a while.

Re: Safari?

I use Chrome on desktop pc and on iOS, though I am currently trying to wean myself off Chrome/Google usage., It's a shame Apple stopped releasing Safari for Windows as I would probably not be using Chrome if they did.

It's the chemtrails making us forget that animals do not use screens. :D

I would be so happy to drive in a car that made the Jetsons sound - at least it would seem for a few moments I'm not living in a dysotopian future :D

Re: Steep drop in prices for SSD

I setup a new install of Windows 10 on a Samsung 970 SSD last month, the install was completed in less than 5 minutes, there's no way I could go back to Slow Spinning Rust given the disparity in speed.

A lot of the overbright bike lights are designed for off road use and really aren't suitable for use with traffic as they chuck out light in all directions and not focusing the light where it needs to be..

I cycle into work pretty much all year round, it's along a canal towpath.

In the winter when commuting in the dark it has the added danger of being dazzled by oncoming bike lights, the combination of an unlit towpath with a superbright ( sometimes strobing ) lights is very disorientating.

I tethered my ipad to my phone whilst I was on holiday in Italy, I got a text message within a few minutes telling me to stop tethering. This was on Three, I think you can't tether from phone to another device outside the UK.

Re: ITs job but not IT's problem

It was a joy for me to attend a presentation on GDPR by someone at Irwin Mitchell and hear that the IT Manager (me) can't be in overall charge of GDPR :D

Re: Tetris DX still #1

Infamous Grouse speaks the truth! No fancy addons/additions that mess with the gameplay.

I think my high score on Tetris DX was in the region of 1m points.
