Young drivers make more claims primarily out of lack of experience in driving. It’s an issue that automatically resolves itself over time.
The same is not true for the elderly.

I hope that as the integration of the now nationalised rail companies continues, this shit gets cut out. It’ll probably be a matter of waiting for contracts to expire, though.


You think HMRC is conspiring with Uber with the goal of making less money for HMRC? And that after years of this, it’s never been leaked or alleged?
Dunno mate. Seems more likely to me that tax-dodging internationals are just experts in dodging tax.


Good.
People shouldn’t be seeing crypto as a means to not have to pay towards society.
If Joe Bloggs has to pay capital gains for making £50k profit selling shares, it stands to reason he should also pay it if he profits £50k selling whatever shitcoin is trending at the moment.


We absolutely care about mutilating the genitals of girls, too.
It’s just young boys that get fucked over


Similar to Trump’s in rhetoric, but without the massive advantage that the US has in that countries trying to separate from them would undergo an economic catastrophe.
So in terms of impact, probably worse than Trump.

I didn’t say it’s not a thing, I said it’s not something you really have to worry about with modern displays.
I’d definitely worry about burn-in if you have Teams open for nine hours a day and the taskbar on.
And yet, the testing seems to show that’s not an issue.


I’ve not had a single phone that’s suffered burn in.
Regardless, I’d trust someone who reviews displays for a living over my own anecdote.


There are aftermarket mods to upgrade to a 1080p OLED (which you probably don’t want to do anyway because 1080p is much harder to run)
But you can’t drop the SD OLED’s display into the LCD model, no.


Even then, the concerns are way way way waaaaaay overblown.
Hardware unboxed have been purposely trying to burn in an OLED for thousands of hours, and it’s still barely perceptible even when you’re trying to look for it by taking a picture of the screen then applying filters to make it more visible. In real world usage its effectively impossible.
With any modern OLED display, burn in is something you don’t need to worry about.


Yes, it was Boris Johnson who buried the report as much as possible.


Good. Clearly there’s foreign interference in our politics, and we need to uncover it and decide what we’re going to do about it.
There was that report into russian interference a while back, but:


Once again dominated by stardew valley for me


Increasing throughput and reducing cleaning time are both good things, though.
Increased throughput means less queuing and being able to quickly relieve yourself. In a shared toilet, this would benefit men and women alike.
Making cleaning quicker and easier means it’ll happen more and be less disruptive when it does happen.


It feels like it never quite decided on what it wanted to be.
Wow, I feel the absolute opposite. Of all the UXes I have ever used, Gnome feels the most like they have a vision they’re committed to.
Not everyone likes it, and I get it’s very different to the WinUX that most others have settled on, but they absolutely have a vision, and they execute on that vision.
Extensions break with every update.
Sort of.
When a new Gnome version comes out, Gnome’s default behaviour is to mark extensions as unsupported. But in reality unless you’re upgrading to the first Beta releases, you’re unlikely to run into that, as extension developers will have marked their extensions as compatible long before the new Gnome version has hit stable and distros start pushing it.
You can disable the check if you like, but hypothetically that could lead to issues (say, if Gnome radically changes the calendar applet, and then you force enable an extension that tweaks the old applet). Gnome, probably wisely, goes with the more stable option.
If you just use the stable branch, you’re unlikely to ever get broken extensions.


It absolutely did not start here only after Brexit, and it’s absolutely not alien to Britain.
God forbid the state rail company uses state branding.


Blame the HDMI consortium. Bastards.
That said, I’m not sure why it’d be a deal-breaker. In 2026 this will be a low-end PC. It’s using a 2 year old laptop GPU that Valve has dumped more power into.
Of course we should. And so should everybody else.
Unfortunately though, it’ll take a huge amount of time. These things always do. Anybody who thinks we can do this within even 10 years are kidding themselves.
It is, of course, still worth doing. Second best time to plant a tree is right now, and all that.
We’d best start funding open source, and exploring domestic/trusted country-of-origin alternatives ASAP.
