The award for worst ISP goes to... it starts with Talk and ends with Talk

Average speed of 16+ MBits - in my dreams.

Says a customer with EE!

Re: "We strive to give customers the best possible experience...

Is this just a truth - or do you work for Beaming? The CEO perhaps? We should be told - before the government dreams up some new regulations - fake news anyone? Sigh.

HPE sharpening the axe for 5,000 heads – report

DaveMellor

It's just sad that people who are paid so much money can only offer a solution that involves inflicting misery on so many talented people.

But what incompetent got them to this place? And how much did they get?

Captains of industry my arse.

You forgot that you hired me and now you're saying it's my fault?

Re: You were doing so well...

There aren't many of us left who even remember dumb terminals.

I used to write assembler code to talk to the dumb things, Then (as things advanced - cough!) I used to write code on more intelligent (but cheaper) terminals that emulated the expensive (but dumb) terminals. This was even before PCs.

Progress is a wonderful thing.

HP users moaning over 10-minute login lag during 'Win 10 update'

HP Pavillion and Windows

OMG slow, it is a crawler.

Just returning to Windows laptop after 3 years using tablet (says retired Windows developer).

After XP it has been all downhill. Just trying to configure new Windows 10 with Skype. New Skype is awful so reverted to classic interface. W 10 till a pile of crap. HP additions are also very dubious.

The damn thing has already screwed up my login - and keeps forcing me into Outlook and Edge (of course I use Chrome and GMail). Time to dual boot methinks. Although at my age I just want quick and simple!

Microsoft introduces yet another Skype for Windows 10

DaveMellor

Old news

This article is over a year old - only just noticed! I just happen to have a new laptop and was configuring Windows 10 and Skype and this appeared as though it was new news!!!

Not fake just OLD. Still, previous comment is true!

BTW why does it offer to configure Micrsoft mail client when I attempted to sen corrections to my previous comment! Deeply antagonised.

Ouch Microsoft - foot shooting again

The new Windows 10 Skype was completely unusable IMHO. No contacts pane, no configuration options for appearance (useful options that is). Plus Skype on my Samsung Galaxy no longer works (although I don't know what version it is now). It worked a few days ago.
