Legends don't fade away...

Crazy guy, crazy life, but if you've been in tech over the decades you can't help but have been touched by the McAfee journey. His passing ages us all, RIP Sir.

Troll

New intern left alone with Reg for 5 mins. Trolling commences. Frothage floweth over.

Comedy gold, this should be framed for posterity.

I don't know what's funnier - politicians and their understanding of technology set against the youthful desire for filth, or the comments in this post.

Hedge porn and 14k modem line by line smut. Oh the halcyon days.

... it's not all about you

Very sad. Sound of the late 90's, and stunning live.

For those desperate to share how they have 'never heard of him... etc'. Yeah, well guess what - it's not all about you I'm afraid.

Sir Nick

I'm sure Sir Nick Clegg will turn it round for them...

The ICO needs to move a damn sight faster on these things .

Bigger bus

That was totally on the side of that bus. Brexit dividend.

Alternatives are availble

Just don't use their facial recog features it seems. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/01/04/photos_trick_smartphones/

You missed one...

Adult electric scooters. They are coming, and soon they will be in every canal the length and breadth of the country.

Map my brain...

I spend days upon days playing this and W3D, I'm convinced it helps develop much better cognitive skills for mapping - once you've remembered level after level of these maps, day after day, getting round your average city seems so much easier :)

Is it lunch yet?

I'm just waiting till after lunch to follow this up with my legitimate scam phishing email... click here to secure your account etc...

In other news, the Home Office assured the country that a new immigration system post that 'B' word, would be delivered on time and to budget.

RIP, he had an impact beyond all measure not matter what your OS of choice. I for one really appreciated his interest in marine archaeology and his funding for the raising of the bell from HMS Hood, and his foundations work studying the coelacanth.

Convenience (my hands are full when I need to lock the car) vs inconvenience (I have to remember to put my keys in a metal biscuit tin every night to prevent some git from driving it off) - still feels like a half-baked biscuit solution tbh.

I hear the sound of lawyers sharpening knives.

Never mind the ICO... legal firm SPG law are readying to represent the customers with a class action for non-material damage. They reckon c £1,250 a head, and their parent company already has form in eviscerating Yahoo, Wendy's etc...

Engineers of the new miracle machine...

Engineers of the new miracle machine stood aghast as the human race quickly decided to use it for nefarious purposes. "We totally didn't see that unprecedented bad usage coming", said a spokesperson before pointing to the terms and conditions of use in defense.

Hahahahaha. No.

Nothing against Croydon, and a knighthood and complementary Aston Martin from Q wouldn't swing this one.

Bored waiting.

I cancelled my Model 3 reservation last week. 2 years and 2 months waiting, no customer communications of note, no sign of any RHD models yet, the AWD version costs north of £60k. Bought a new LEAF instead and they were hugely apologetic for the 12 week delay.

Short meeting. Don't bother with biscuits.

I have voice control in my Renault Zoe EV - it is the most laughable piece of junk, my kids get me to activate it for a giggle now and then, as it gets about 1% of things right and likes to call random people of my phone :) Alexa it is not. I do own a Echo Dot, principally for the purpose of turning all the upstairs lights off at home that my teenagers seem to like to leave on after I have gone to bed. That was worth £50, as the 6ft garden cane just wouldn't quite reach...

I'm (sadly) quite excited about this. First computer I ever used at school, and first bit of programming I ever did (built a Yahtzee game - so proud!)

May have to buy a new Windows machine for home use 'special research project' (to prevent Wife 1.0 downgrading Husband 1.0 to beta status).

Surely

Planet McPlanet Face?

I'll get my coat.
