Can’t they just reduce the tax on drinking in a pub so they can take more profit from what’s spent? Most alcoholics drink at home now anyway.

I’m not sure if it’s still the case but Pewdiepie was using his as a home server.

Labour tried to introduce it about 20 years ago but it got killed.

I’ve just been reading the BBC article on it and it says that every other party is against them being compulsory. I don’t think this’ll make it through.

Now Reform will start piping up about how they will block this and they’ll get even more votes. Between this and the age verification stuff I’m almost considering voting for them but I can’t stand the idea of Nigel Farage being PM and they keep trying to emulate Trump.

Between the ugly lump on the back of these and the horrid Liquid Ass interface this is possibly the ugliest iPhone they’ve ever released.

It used to be possible as networks could advertise that they owned IP ranges that they didn’t actually own using BGP, which is what’s used for high level routing. This is what China did around 2010 where they allegedly routed all the internet traffic in the world through China for like 10 minutes. I guess somebody could do that and then just drop every packet.

I expect that’s not possible anymore though, but I’ve been out the game a while so I don’t know for sure.

Is it really Silksong behind this? Though I enjoyed the first game I’ve not been desperately waiting for the sequel and I’ve never heard anyone talking about it IRL.

I do this, it’s been one with other providers but I don’t use Netflix.

I’ve been running Linux for two years but I do find it’s not as easy to use as Windows still, but it’s not worlds apart like it once was. However I didn’t have the experience you had, mine was pretty smooth. I spent some time working quirks out but nothing was breaking, it was just tweak isn’t it to the way I want it. Maybe try hopping to a different distro if you’re having bad luck with that one. I was on Fedora and it’s pretty solid now.

How does this even work? It’s like they don’t realise they don’t own the car once it’s been sold. What’s to stop someone just hacking it and unlocking it?

Plus it’s a backup location for stuff I simply can’t lose, like the photos of my daughter being born and my wedding. I don’t want to trust them to some company that might suddenly go into administration without any notice.

I am just because it’s so cheap. On the family plan I get 5TB of storage for £10.49. Proton costs more than that for 500GB.

Thank God we’ve got the government here to protect us.

The couple claimed that their house got repossessed by the bank and that’s what inspired them to do this big walk that the book’s about. Turns out that when the author was unemployed a friend helped her out by getting her a job at the company run by her husband. The author then went on to steal loads of money over the next few years and nearly drive the company bankrupt; causing loads of grief for the company’s owners and causing lots of mental problems like depression, etc. The author eventually got busted and had to agree to a payment plan which they didn’t keep up with, and that was the point their house got repossessed.

I assumed this was bullshit but she actually said it. Her account’s been suspended.

From when I was a proper little kid maybe the Dizzy games, and a game called CJ in the USA.

From a bit older I get really nostalgic for Ultima Online. That game was great and there’ll never be another experience like that. No separation for PVP, PVE, role players or the like, everyone just crammed in together.

I feel like you’d have to be kinda mad to buy an Xbox over a PS5 this gen. PS is getting all sorts of new games and Xbox gets Halo 18.

Didn’t this turn out to be fake?

I’ve seen banks that offer investment accounts but they only invest in businesses which meet certain ethical standards. It was by the Co-Operative Bank in the UK, which is some community bank thing owned by the customers. Not sure how that works but they do lots of the ethical stuff.

I’ve also seen a charity where you could offer loans to small businesses in developing countries and if they ever became profitable they’d pay you back, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you never saw that again.
