Re: There is quite a bit of that floating around Eastern Europe

I was in a wine cellar in Austria about 20 years ago. The owner's grandparents had sealed off one end of the cellar at the outbreak of war. Nobody knows what's in there and nobody was planning to open it.

I couldn't have lasted a week without drilling a hole and taking a look.

Re: I've never understood this

There was a prototype train on display in York Railway Museum a few years ago. One of the features was the wireless charger built into the table top.

I guess the problem is choosing a standard that will last as long as your typical train carriage. Back then, it was only suggested for a phone. You'd probably needs something more powerful for a laptop.

Back to the idea of better seats...

Re: Buttons on the side still....

Worse in the car - my handsfree grips the sides. Lots of pictures of the dashboard.

Re: What happens to Hyperconverged players now

Nope, it's like having your own Azure system in-house. Not just a hypervisor (thought they're in there).

You're only seeing half of it.

There's the bid document to complete, then the anti-slavery documentation, then the evidence of being an equal opportunities employer.

I live in the middle of slough,

I think Betjeman had the solution for that in 1937.

Re: Well, might be better than windows. But not much cheaper

A good paper system is better than a bad electronic system and we've had much more practice with paper! Would just be nice to have more good electronic systems!

I've recently used a mixture if NHS and Private medicine. Big distinction was the lack of any apparent electronic records in the Private hospitals.

Re: I miss the days when it was just email!

Yes there is. https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12315/can-i-contact-skype-for-business-users-from-skype

Yes, but look at all the restrictions. Different clients, no conferencing. It's a mess.

It's a bit like saying 'all jobs need people to be able to drive', 'Let's teach everyone to be a mechanic'.

Re: I Think We Need The BBC

You're forgetting - the Sky fee is in addition to the BBC fee. If all you want to watch is Sky, you're still paying £12 per month for the BBC.

Re: Newspeak

I! Hear! Another! Female! CEO! May! Be! Available! to! HELP!

Re: Interesting

They'll still collect the franchise fees regardless...

Re: So when will the politicians learn?

and now everyone is twisting the result to fit their personal narrative - whether it's about Brexit/Austerity/Socialism etc etc

May moved left (energy price cap FFS) to capture some of the middle. In the end, she just validated some of Corbyn's positions.

Re: The Prisoner is currently showing on Freeview 'True Entertainment'...

The Prisoner was originally meant to be shorter. The TV company insisted on more episodes. Hence the padding and the few pointless epsiodes.

Still worth a watch.

Be easier if they just merged. Get rid of both in one go. Dinosaurs posing as tech companies

Re: Licenses

Yep - you can't sweat an asset if it's in the cloud. Seeing a lot of servers being reused and defunct kept for spares.

Re: Something less drastic maybe

If you're just going from Gatwick to Heathrow, no need to go to this much expense. Simple tunnel with a regular train will do. (simple is a relative term!)

Re: 4 Processors Chips which could be 88 cores, 6TB of RAM...

But will it run Windows- ie more than one fullscreen...

That's already in the mix. Not sure if the Insiders have it yet, but it's here shortly. You just need to connect your phone to a bigger screen.

Re: More importantly

You usually see these kind of posts when they're attempting to derail the subject and distract from the contents of the main article

Nope, just making a joke. Surprised anybody took the trouble to comment.
