"I use a credit card: simple, easy, robust and preserves my privacy"

Really?

Re: More "context" but, sorry, not anti-Tesla

"Toyota has completely withdrawn their Toyota bZ4X"

Did they recall them to fit new wheel bolts, as opposed to "withdraw" them (i.e buy them back)?

So now Toyota names their cars by letting a toddler hit some random keys on a keyboard.

Re: Indeed

"The undefined behaviour of the C and C++ languages has real-world effects such as mysterious crashes and other mysterious "behaviour"."

All C code I've ever written has had very well defined behaviour. (It's run by a computer, after all.)

Perhaps you meant "unwanted behaviour when making programming errors"?

Good programmers generally avoid those scenarios.

Re: >Where's the Brexit bonus?

"Just look at what the EU do, like with Ukraine and covid. You really want to be a part of that?"

Yes.

BTW, If anyone is a massive moaner, it's you. And you're not even that old.

You think Brits are oh-so different and special? Get a grip.

Brits are only special ins their ability to cap-doff and suffer silently being trampled by their toff overlords. What a quality to have.

Re: Here is data everyone, including Musk, has been looking for

I think the 4400 limit was set with Trump in mind.

"Lots of people are choosing to opt-out of California completely. I wonder why..."

You seem to imply that one should know why. I don't know why. (Also, define "lots of")

Re: Yet again - more proof that China needs to be obliterated in a nuclear armageddon

"and have probably x-rayed it etc"

Did they call in Superman for that?

Re: Whatabout massacres

"BBC isn't state media - its a public service broadcaster independent of state control"

That's the theory. It's under party control (not "state control"), and the party is the Tory party. It's a defanged little poodle.

Look at the top brass and how they got their positions (and massive salaries that makes sure they are compliant).

Of course it pretends to be "impartial", but it's really very, very poor at examining power here in the UK.

"when Labour were last in charge and they were worse than the Conservatives have ever been"

How can he know?

Re: Microsoft are C%&$S!

I bet the thumbs down were from people who didn't read most of the post.

Re: At some point (even in America)

"not risking your life", surely?

Re: Twitter is a pretty small ‘app’

But he didn't mention moderating?

Just the app itself. 10 developers would be enough for sure. More will just mess things up.

Re: Windows 11 on any PC

"There are plenty of videos on Youtube on how to install Windows 11 on any PC."

Not watching a video. I assume it's some hack? Why would you want to do that?

Why would you want Win 11 in the first place? What does it bring that's new? (Rounded corners? No obvious way to enter Sleep from the login screen? Some more cosmetic changes?)

Re: Well...

"AMD has one thing going for them - very pro-active troubleshooting and diving into"

That's because a fix won't cost them much. Replacing expensive hardware is.. expensive.

Don't get me wrong, I'm an AMD fan (on some Ryzen system now). I'm also an Nvidia fan and user.

They are both excellent and serious companies.

"It took a EU directive to make it more difficult "

Ahh, the "evil EU empire" standing up for the smaller guys again. Thank God we'll have no more of that here in UK.

Re: Add it to the pile

What country? I'm sure it's not top secret?

Some tightwads will never be happy to pay tax, but very happy to draw from the benefits derived from it (like excellent public transport).

My disagreeing with you isn't "throwing toys out of the pram", so you may want to adjust your language.

Re: "Hybrid"

“ Flexibility should work both ways”

Seen from what absolute reference point?
