Exertis, Midwich, ProAV will all help you get hold of a commercial display. You’ll pay more because the screens are rated for 18/7 operation, but you’ll get no OS and a single HDMI port to connect your shit.
NEC, Phillips, Sharp and BenQ are worth looking at as alternatives to the mainstream brands.
Can confirm times are hard. I work at a tech company and every role in engineering gets >100 applications the day it goes live.
My advice - go to events hosted by those companies, get to know the people who work there and find ways to help them. Then get them to refer you for roles.
Twingate is another option if it’s just device to device networking and you trust all the devices that are in your network. It’s free for personal use and peer to peer so no issues with TOS if you’re streaming.
it’s all a big ploy to give the US bargaining chips when negotiating with the UK for trade agreements.
“well we’re going to tariff the shit out of you unless we can sell chlorine washed chickens in your country”
“oh also fuck your publicly owned railways and roads, you’ll sell them to us at a discount or you’ll be sorry.”
“by the way we’re still going to endorse and fund far right parties and destabilise your democracy - that’s just what allies do, right?”
jupyter notebooks, or if you’re super trendy give zerve.ai a try
you’ll put those savings into a stocks and shares ISA where any gains from stocks are tax free guaranteed.
If you have more than £20k a year to put away into stocks and shares then yeah you need to pay some tax bruv.
I have a Hasselblad 500 and I like to fill the whole frame with interesting architecture at odd angles. 1920s and 30s art deco is especially good to photograph.
yeah. That kind of money is top 5% of homes in most of Europe outside very wealthy areas and districts like Zurich. In the UK the average house price is about £300k ($400k)
I agree.
But the realist in me knows it is unlikely to be allowed to happen.
I know that the government will have to service a £15bn debt through borrowing, which will raise interest rates, mortgages, rents and require cuts to public services to pay for. That is on top of the investment needed over the next few years to stop sewage leaking into rivers and leaks of millions of litres a day.
In addition I know that pension funds and large investors will lose substantial sums of money and will look to divest from similar risks, which could lead to more utility companies becoming insolvent. A snowball effect.
Finally, I know that international investment in the UK will be seen as more risky.
What the government will be doing now is weighing up those risks against the cost of raising bills by the 59% that the water companies and industry bodies are asking for. If the worst should happen, will taxpayers be better off with a couple of hundred extra £ on their water bills to pay, or potentially a lot worse off with a rapid nationalisation of multiple firms.
me typing “sudo !!” instead of rewriting the shell command undoes this.
refinery malfunctions truck/ship breakdowns
sounds like “how to get prescribed as a terrorist organisation 101”
I’d be happy if that happened.
I’d like it to go that way too but realistically, no government in the world is going to go after a massive hedge fund or investment bank for failing to stop a company asset stripping a public utility for profit.
yes that would be awesome, but the problem is that “make it publicly owned” means “buy out their shares” which is giving them a bailout, plus “service all the debt the company is in” which is another bailout, before you’ve even got started with fixing the horrible lack of investment over many years
so the shareholders pull their funds, the water companies struggle and the taxpayer has to step in to bail them out.
problem is then that shareholders will pull their money and invest elsewhere leaving the taxpayer to pick up the pieces. clever privatisations always leave the public purse to bail out any losses 😒
the solution: don’t privatise in the first place. it’s like selling all your shit at a pawn shop
would love to but where does the money come from to buy out all the shareholders? you would need to raise tens of billions - remember we just spent £10bn to give people a 1% tax cut
and before you say “fuck the shareholders,” remember that lots of them are your pension fund
place one solar panel on your roof, connect it to your mains input, all possibilities of reliable energy use disaggregation go out the window.
Tor operator here.
If you don’t have a second IP for your relay, don’t host at home. You will have CAPTCHAs everywhere, many sites will block you and your ISP will eventually contact you to stop degrading their IP space reputation.
Most website owners don’t discriminate between Tor exits and relays. They subscribe to block-lists that include all known Tor IP addresses. Major online services will make your browsing experience really shitty and once you’re a “known Tor IP” it will take months to remove that reputation.
You can run a Bridge instead, but you will eventually have the same problem.
