I have no television

wait wut?

Re: Infuriating

Often turned off so people can use third party TV and movie steaming apps which aren't in the Play Store.

I'm not sure that there is a dependency between the Play Protect functionality and whether or not you enable sideloading. I suspect that play protect continues to scan the apps you have installed from the Play store. I would think that you implicitly accept some responsibility for assessing third-party sourced apps

`So ………. the operators switched off the engine, and were surprised when it promptly crashed?

Transferrable skills. They had evidently worked on a helldesk in the past but didn't have time to complete the second part of the fix

Re: "mobile versions will be easy to scale quickly"

Maybe it's time to set up my own forecasting company.

I may be able to help with that. I have a report that contains information that I forecast is worth alt least GBP3000 to everyone who reads it. For GPB50000 I will license it to you to resell. You should be able to resell it for at least GBP2000 per person given the value of the information it contains.

**Important** the information above is definitely not the information in the report.

Re: Eh?

It's not inexplicable, but I won't bore you.

Yeah, Type Gs exist as a dual function power plug/home defence anti-burglar caltrop device. This is also the reason why the Danes, with their type Ks, invented Lego. The NRA have been supressing this information for decades

"It's like your [...], but more expensive and much, much shitter"... ..that's a pretty weird thing to go for.

Have you encountered human people before?

Re: "Rational Gun Control"

My point is, Haters Gonna Hate. Killers Gonna Kill. And there isn't much you can do to stop someone that determined without crossing moral event horizons. Which is it going to be: chaos or the police state?

And yet limiting access to guns correlates pretty well with significantly lower gun death rates for the rest of the world. What you have there sounds like a false dichotomy.

Re: ShitSecurity

If you start tracking bathroom usage people are just going to start pooping in pots and throw it in the garbage can.

If that replaced using the floor and they managed it without any wall smearing, that would be a win at some of the places I have had the misfortune of working at. I always check the toilets before deciding whether to use the shared kitchens

Re: I don't know if he's a crook or not, but...

but if it was dodgy, why did Deloitte sign it off as correct, when they analysed the books?

I can't tell if you have never been involved in Audit or are making a very arch joke

Re: "...need to be hard rebooted after exactly 149 hours"

Not good if the 149 hours is up while on final approach

yeah, I wouldn't start the reboot below FL300 to be on the safe side

Re: rows of car batteries baking in the 48° heat

Marine [anything] cost[s] about 1.5 times as much , too, but that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

I am surprised that you have sourced anything boat related at such a low cost multiplier

hedging your bets

I get all my pr0nz from the traditional location of under hedges (thankfully more plentiful in the semi-rural area that I live in nowadays). I'm not worried about trackiers but i have a strict policy of rejecting any cookies that I come across

Re: Exciting time

It's even harder to fit "Uxbridge" into that poem. But worth the effort I feel

this sounds like the makings of a Clue round.

One poem to the theme of another?

Re: Hang on a second ....

if they can insert tracking pixels *into* a message then they have access to the plaintext ?

Teh article doesn't make it clear but this service is a gmail plugin that tarts the experience up a bit and tries to add a bit of value by making it simpler to carry out repetitive tasks. The privacy moan was about privacy of people you are sending mail to as it implements tracking pixels in your outgoing mail by default rather than defaulting to off and using the actual standards based read receipt headers (maybe because most sane mail servers either ignore them or allow the recipient to control them)

Re: Nightmarish stuff

how cramped these vessels were

Vanguards were plenty cramped enough, even before they are fully fitted out

Re: The Britain Experience

Are you confusing the gendered terms misandry/misogyny with misanthropy?

I can't speak for all 60 million Brits but I am certainly anti-social miserable when dealing with people. I don't save it all for tourists though.

Is pedantry a British trait or just a twat trait?

Although the AoA disagree alert was supposed to display whether or not you had ordered the optional AoA continuous display, apparently there was a bug that meant that the alter was dependent on the optional display in practice:

(source)

>>After deliveries of the 737 Max commenced in 2017, Boeing discovered a software issue prevented the angle-of-attack (AOA) Disagree alert from working if customers had not chosen the optional AOA indicator.

>>“The software delivered to Boeing linked the AOA Disagree alert to the AOA indicator, which is an optional feature on the Max and the NG. Accordingly, the software activated the AOA Disagree alert only if an airline opted for the AOA indicator.”

Re: Probably a Sony

that reminds me of the lamest feature of my Sony telly. My house has a DTT aerial and a satellite dish. The telly supports both but if you go into the setup menu and enable the Satellite decoder (which was a little fiddly to do) it disables the ITV PLayer app (no great loss in either content or user experience) but teh real stupidz is that every time someone tries to launch the ITV Player app, it disables the satellite decoder again

Re: Dolt

Eewww, nepotism, one hopes, although a shallow gene pool might explain the idiocy

how would you enforce this?

Wait, you meant the public space/privacy aspect? As you were.

Re: Missing tag

It's an el'reg story about banks and you need a sarcasm tag ?????????

I think the point was that you really shouldn't need a sarcasm given el reg's traditional approach to the news and, in particular, to strories about the banking crisis and past coverage of TSB.

Wait, wut?

Re: POP

Yes, I did continue to swap cards with the power on.

My rule is I only do that if the DC does not have standing water above the floor tile level
