I assume then that the next election won’t be pretty for them

Pretty much every political commentator at this point is confident that they’re going to be wiped out and lose worse than they ever have in history. So yeah, not pretty.

That said it’s their own fault, Sunak was supposed to bring things around, but he’s basically done nothing and just sat there being useless while the right wing nationalist element of his own party essentially destroy their election chances. It’s bizarre watching them go at it, it’s like they were sent from the future with a mission to ensure the conservative party is never politically electable ever again.

Perhaps we could try and go a week without someone in government committing a crime.

There was a story about them deleting accounts with games, followed by articles saying it was only for accounts with no games.

So it was a non-story back then as well?

People going mad about this and it’s complete non-issue.

Yeah everyone else can see the sentence as it is. It’s just an instance thing.

They’re not more or less in the way just because they’re electric.

I’ve never understood the hate for them. Sure people leave them in annoying places and inconsiderate with them but that’s not the scooters fault. Also it’s a very easy problem to solve if authorities could be bothered, if a scooter is found in the way then fine the last person to use it.

And of course ICE cars I’m going to start being phased out in a few years anyway.

I miss r/casualUK where everyone nas more normal.

We’ll be does do some stuff.

I don’t necessarily think we need for your family but at the same time there’s so many fuxked up things in this country to get worked up, about I just can’t really bring myself to be all that bothered.

It prevents any website being able to run intercepts on pasting. This is good when they’re using it to just prevent you from doing it for no real reason but there are many situations where you don’t want a user to be able to arbitrarily just drop text into a text field.

The big one is 2fa. A lot of the time you might need to enter a five digit code and each number may need to be entered into a particular box if you just click in the first box and press paste after copying the code from an email then it’ll paste the entire contents into that one box. You don’t want that you want some code to automatically paste each letter into each subsequent box, that requires you intercept the original paste command.

I don’t experience this and I’ve never heard anyone else claim to experience it you positive that you’re forced quitting the app?

Yeah, because it was needed for PWAs to be viable.

There is no problem if you don’t just press random buttons without reading the dialog box. Like OP clearly did.

Like most problems in IT I blame the users for randomly clicking button they don’t understand.

Init is part of the specification so it was always going to be added.

In the long run the disposable ones work out to be more expensive which means they make more profit.

But it’s hard for the average consumer to notice that because it takes a while to build up the price.

It’s like the difference between paying for a subscription £90 once a year, Vs paying £10 a month, for 12 months.
Obviously you are better off with the £90 option but it feels like a larger amount if you don’t pay attention.

I’ve come across this prat before, literally every single thread that they’re in they have to take some stupid brainless position just to be argumentative, for the sake of being argumentative. It’s not worth interacting with them, they’re not interested in an actual discussion because they don’t actually have an opinion, they just want to be awkward.

If there was a thread the sky is blue, they’d probably take the opposite position just to be irritating. They have no opinion of their own.

Well that’s why they are been given until '27.

Lol says apple simp. See how that’s not actually a counter argument see how you actually have to explain your points in order for them to be valid and see how you failed to do so because every single point you come up with lacks evidence.

You have said that it is impossible to make efficient batteries that a user replaceable, but you have failed to demonstrate why this is the case. Phones have historically had use of replaceable batteries for years it’s been fine. Manufacturers just realized they could force people to buy new phones more easily if they didn’t make the batteries replaceable, it’s got nothing to do with efficiency, and everything to do with anti-consumer capitalism.

Good god you’ve missed the point haven’t you?

If you want shit with removable batteries, cool, go out and make your demands heard. But why should your demands be pushed onto everyone else

Because companies are not providing products with removable batteries so the consumers refusing to buy products with non-removable batteries doesn’t work because there’s no alternative product to purchase. Manufacturers know they have consumers in monopoly so they have no reason to change.

What about the consumer that doesn’t give a fuck about usb-c or removable batteries?

The USB c-thing is not just about user friendliness it’s also about the environment. Constantly having to throw old charges away because their incompatible with new products produces an enormous amount of e-waste, everyone using the same charger reduces it, which is only a good thing. Also the Apple charger which is what I’m assuming you’re going on about is actually less safe than the usb-c standard. I think we can all agree that manufacturers should use safer options when they become available.

Why should they be made to buy products designed around standards that aren’t important to them?

If a product has a feature you don’t care about, why do you care, just don’t use it and you’re fine.

The battery is still unnecessarily glued in with permanent adhesive that requires a heat gun to melt it though.

I never understand why batteries need to be glued in at all, surely pure friction will keep them in place. If you really need them stuck down use pull tabs.

The EU market is almost as big as the US market so yeah they’d be giving an awful lot up.
