It's time we just abandoned all attempts to control Twitter. Just remove all censorship and let it sink into a vile mess. Then we can all do something more interesting instead.

Um

1 Gb is only useful if you're connecting to multiple locations or for office to office connections. Most home users won't be streaming more than 1 or 2 videos, so unlikely to ever touch the limit. Might as well call it limitless.

That said, when 2Mb broadband was first released, we had no notion we'd ever need more!

Um

Given how unreliably it sends text messages to your PC, I wouldn't lose much sleep over it.

They'll get it right in the 2nd iteration, then quietly drop it.

Re: Some are considering moving to another employer

Next they'll be saying that dividends are only taxed at 7.5%.

Re: I really need a decent alternative to dropbox

Both clients are the same now, so no problems with the business side any more. I just wish it would work on Linux as I have a low powered laptop that's not up to the job.

Re: I would rather

I agree with your sentiments, but Windows 10 is very stable. Problem at the moment is focussing too much on the pretty stuff.

Why do we need a 3rd command prompt?

Nextcloud looks interesting - always reassuring from a privacy perspective to see German government customers.

If it had an in-built email server, I'd probably jump.

Re: Universal store card

That would be very easy, but do you want all the junk marketing that will come with it?

Re: At Last!

No taxation without representation. Where will they get the tea?

More dark mode stuff.

More control panel stuff hidden away.

More UI inconsistencies.

MS seem to have lost the plot regarding what an OS is supposed to do.

We're there already - try having a non-liberal viewpoint on pretty much anything.

Re: Vegan Custard

Finally - we've reached peak vegan. I wonder what it will be next.

Re: An answer in search of a question

Maybe Windows on Arm is just a big stick for Microsoft to beat Intel with. Make your CPUs more efficient or we do WoA.

Re: Child labor

When I think about the number of times I have to fill out Modern Slavery declarations - how does any company using iPhones manage to meet the requirements?

Alternatively

They could do the right thing and provide a Micro SD slot. Works on my Android.

We're out in the sticks, frustratingly in the shadow of a hill as far as our nearest mast goes.

The masts here are all painted a grey-green colour. Not as noticable as you'd think. Certainly better than the one pictured in the article.

Does anyone on here know at what height they have to put flashing lights on the top? That's when they'll become a real eyesore.

I wouldn't have thought they're directly comparable. Filling station has (I'd guess) an average of 6 pumps. Only takes 10 minutes at the most to fill up. That's 36 cars per hour. How many cars can one charging station charge to capacity in an hour? 1? 1.5?

Re: PlusNet Billing

Plusnet support is in Sheffield, UK. No disguising the accents! They're great unless something has gone wrong.

>>>Meanwhile, corporate Outlook has no Archive button

You might want to try upgrading

Re: 17.6 hours

It's a useful comparator, assuming that all the manufacturers fiddle their figures to the same degree. Same as MPG and cars.

For me, I'd be going to a meeting for 2-3 hours, possibly a couple of hours on the train. I'd be ok. My 3 year old Surface Pro 4, probably not, so I'd take the charger.

Re: Time to revert to Paper

The people losing their vote are spread fairly evenly over the country, leaving the final result unchanged. The fraudulent people tend to be concentrated in certain areas (Tower Hamlets & Birmingham to name two).
