It wouldn't have happened...

... if they'd been running Kaspersky AV.

A great pity...

That she, the rest of the crony businesses who have profiteered out of Covid 19, and the shambolic heap of dung that masquerades as the Government couldn't self isolate too.

In a black hole.

Tiny Elvis!

That takes me back.

NHS England has left it until late September...

They really should be back in school.

Start me up!

You make a grown man cry.

Couldn't resist.

Smoke on the Tyne?

Fog, Shirley?

Damore's Caution

Careful now. You can get fired for suggesting men and women are different.

Sleep easy, it's not a problem

It'll be safely settled in a stable orbit.

Unless a deep space probe or two happened to pass by, and perturb its orbit just enough to send it spiralling into the inner solar system....

Did you really say...

"A master device file"?

It's six of the best and off to PC reeducation camp for you.

Care to guess...

How many people would just follow the instruction and click on the link?

Victorian computing

Did you know that Isambard Kingdom Brunel developed an operating system for station signage based on Babbage's engine and powered by cast iron flakes and leather shavings?

Actually, he didn't.

Sorry to see them go...

Some brands have a special resonance, and it's sad to see them go. Despite my never owing an Olympus camera, this is one of them. Saab was another.

Oh mighty one...

If they want to be omnipresent and all powerful, why don't they just change their name to God?

Male and female connectors..

Male and female connectors! Sexist.

Support the trans-sisters.

If you're looking for the dumb component...

... they have their hand on the 'fridge door handle.

Shocked, shocked I tell you...

I thought Mars and rings were only encountered in A&E.

C'mon...

Where are Crapita? They have to be in there somewhere, Shirley?

Eh? EH?

"...financial regulation regimes that silently protect all of us from expensive fraud".

Be still my aching sides.

Perhaps......

Loonies are pursuing a low-carbon economy?

But....

If we can't turn to our celebrities, how we know what to think?

So....

All those tales about the Saturn V plans being lost/thrown away etc., were just that - tales.

Shame...

With just a nudge along the first row transition elements we could have a chorus of "It's raining Mn".

Anker

I like Anker stuff. Their eufy cameras are great.

Not a shill, er I mean influencer, just a satisfied customer.

And Windows 10?

"Windows 7 is like that arthritic old cat who lives with an elderly relation. It smells a bit, is a pain to look after and demands near constant attention".

Let the metaphors cascade...

Like a dog raised on a puppy farm without proper attention and training that is likely to bite you when you least expect it...

Robin Hood?

I thought it was come Huawei with William Tell.

{Who's old enough to get that reference?}

Ah!

Stupidity. The gift that keeps on giving.

But did the bean counters get their bonuses?

Yes?

All is well then.

A mistake is one thing...

I used to work with a misanthrope who would deliberately format any floppy disk that was unlabelled, but evidently in use, to "Teach 'em some discipline".

Probably pinched...

... by the Peaky Fookin' Blinders.

Crapita again.....

And still they get the contracts. Who's getting the bungs?

My goose is cooked

So, I'm going to be slowly cooked by a plethora of inductive charging in public places.

Whatever next?

Armoured bears?

Refined OS or chocolate teapot?

With the number of patches that Windows 7 has received over the years, has it become more refined and secure, or is it just a chocolate teapot that will never be fit for purpose?

Eggs on a train?

Perhaps her fellow passengers had had en oeuf?

Skippy-speak

As an aside it should be noted that skippy-speak employs the most efficient compression algorithm known.

Four kangaroo voicebox clicks unpacks to "you say the doc's truck has crashed into the ravine and he's hurt real bad with a broken arm and leg. Petrol's pouring out of the truck and a couple of snakes are closing in. The sun is going down, etc."
