It's garbage

You can't even drag and drop an email on to the desktop...

At least that explains their piss poor website. It's a user experience abomination.

FB on mobile unusable

If they are collecting all this data, they are doing a dreadful job of putting relevant info in the timeline.

Without the FB Purity plugin the site is unusable being well over 50% "recommendations for you". No wonder da yoof has moved on.

Tuxcare

Has anyone had any experiences with this? https://tuxcare.com/extended-lifecycle-support/

Should release it for Android

They should move it to Android as a free piece of software for reading / minor editing of docx files on Android.

They just became a leisure activity. Like a load of IT people are about to find out...

Mozilla.is irrelevant on Android

The reason Opera is doing so much better than Firefox is blindingly obvious to everyone apart from the Firefox developers: Opera supports zoom and reflow.

Research ongoing in the UK too

Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) has been awarded £960,000 from the UK government to investigate wireless technology for spaced-based solar power (SBSP).

Dear All,

I think we need to hit the ground running, keep our eye on the ball, and make sure that we are singing off the same song sheet. At the end of the day it is not a level playing field and the goal posts may move; if they do, someone else may have to pick it up and run with it. We therefore must have a golf bag of options hot-to-trot from the word 'go'. It is your train set but we cannot afford to leave it on the back burner; we've got a lot of irons in the fire, right now.

We will need to un-stick a few potential poo traps but it all depends on the flash-to-bang time and fudge factor allowed. Things may end up slipping to the left and, if they do, we will need to run a tight ship. I don't want to re-invent the wheel but we must get right into the weeds on this one. If push comes to shove, we may have to up stumps and then we'll be in a whole new ball game.

I suggest we test the water with a few warmers in the bank. If we can produce the goods then we are cooking with gas. If not, then we are in a world of hurt. I don't want to die in a ditch over it but we could easily end up in a flat spin if people start getting twitchy. To that end, I want to get round the bazaars and make sure the movers and the shakers are on-side from day one. If you can hit me with your shopping list I can take it to the head honchos and start the ball rolling.

There is light at the end of the tunnel and I think we have backed a winner here. If it gets blown out the water, however, I will be throwing a track. So get your feet into my in-tray and give me chapter and verse as to how you see things panning out. As long as our ducks are in a row I think the ball will stay in play and we can come up smelling of roses.

Before you bomb burst and throw smoke, it is imperative we nail our colours very firmly on the mast and look at the big picture. We've got to march to the beat of the drum. We are on a sticky wicket. we'll need to play with a straight bat and watch out for fast balls.

I've been on permanent send for long enough and I've had my ten pence worth. I don't want to rock the boat or teach anyone to suck eggs. We must keep this firmly in our sight picture or it will fall between the cracks. If the cap fits, wear it, but it may seem like pushing fog up a hill with a sharp stick.

Just simplify the tax laws

There is no way they can ever be computerised in their current state.

Also throws you out when you use a mobile browser claiming you clicked on the back button - which I didn't do...

We'll know we are making progress in this direction when we stop blaming "human error". It's a meaningless labe akin to blaming car accidents on 'bad driving'

National Protective Security Agency

Do they hand out condoms?

Root cause = the point at which we gave up investigating. Bonus points here for pinning it on a junior tech.

Tossers

Would be good to see them focus on maintaining older phones and other devices to help people through the cost of living crisis and to burnish their environmental credentials.

Love this

What a great use:

I mentor a young lad with poor literacy skills who is starting a landscaping business. He struggles to communicate with clients in a professional manner.

I created a GPT3-powered Gmail account to which he sends a message. It responds with the text to send to the client.

Good bye good riddance

Moved to Opera on both Windows and Android. Miss nothing about Firefox. Won't bother to go back to even try Firefox on Android until it does zoom and reflow like Opera.

The thing is that whatever you need to do with IPv4 you can do it either in your head or on a piece of paper. I can look at an IP address and know it belongs to my organisation. Heck, I can likely even tell you which building's VLAN it belongs to. With IPv6? Not a chance.

Surprise, surprise!

Here's a guarantee

The number one search term will be 'google'

Windows 11, same as Windows 10

Still embarrasing that the very first update for Windows 11 is to fix a remote code execution...

HelloSystem

It will be interesting to compare this with HelloSystem: https://github.com/helloSystem/
