I definitely think the content is dumbed down compared to my issues from ten years ago. Regarding the political stuff, I'd say there's a notable lean in the writing but imo that isn't the worst offender in it's decline.

Can they just start by getting it to hold the setting for a default microphone/audio output?

The infosys part is pretty infuriating. He pushed through off payroll working reforms to make business a bit more nervous about using contractors then handed some more massive uk public sector contracts to infosys. Massively corrupt.

Seems sensible, especially if the upgrades to the cars are already illegal! From my time in the city (Edinburgh so not exactly NYC) the biggest improvement would've been better sound insulation between walls, you really could hear ever

We're living through a strange time but please do not be defeatist and try not to let alarmist (it's trying to push certain actors into action quite rightly) make you feel that like that should ever be appealing.

Totally get your point here, however the counter that always gets me is the rate of quantitative easing in the US/UK. Not sure on accuracy of this but I've seen figures(cityam website) saying around 18% of all US dollars were crea

The night garden is definitely trippy. For the occasions that I lose the battle and let my son have some tv before bed, cbeebies actually goes a great wind down job with the night garden.

Fairly standard for the type of quote the bbc likes from academics unfortunately.

Don't experience the lag but my fans and energy usage goes haywire on my top of the line 2018 15" pro.

Meh pay doesn't bother me - that's an internal problem for them. What does bother me is firefox on a mac (2018 15inch pro), it just trashes the battery life. Too many tabs open and the fans go haywire, energy usage spikes etc. My

Very true! A real difficult task for startups when they try to hire too quickly.

That's fascinating. I can see both the positives of it and the downsides. I recently (around two years ago) worked for a startup which grew too quickly and made some really bad hiring decisions which left them with a lot of loud, disgr

That must be wrong, I have the petrol equiavalent, a 320i and it cost me £32K brand new in the UK.

It sure does, Edinburgh also no plans to make life easier and sustainable for families who actually live here. Train services are unreliable, ever increasing property prices in the city itself and even the satelite towns are getting more ex

People bond/interact over shared experiences. You mention kids, I used to become extremely bored over listening to other peoples stories about their kids. Now that I'm a father myself I don't listen to the story about their k

I'd agree with that, I run stock ubuntu on a thinkpad t460p. I have only one issue which is that display scaling is not fractional, its in set values which doesn't play well with resolutions above 1080p. Thats a gnome issue though

I too have a i7-3770 and it runs fantastic. I've only just realised that it is actually 6 years old, theres just not the incentive to upgrade that there once was.

I've seen popcon in Debian before, tbh I thought it was already in Ubuntu! Some will be happy with and it and some won't, as long as its optional and presented clearly I don't see an issue. Sending crash reports without askin

Seems like can opt out easily, and the information given appears reasonable so will quite happily check this box.

It really should but I think thats a much more difficult problem to politically explain why every case is unique!

I have my amazon safe space set to my greenhouse, imagine my surprise when I found their delivery person had put my item in my green bin instead. Not a chance would let them have access to my locks to my house.

I guess at least they're referring to them as customers instead of consumers for a change.

I'd like one too, if you've still got them! Email in profile :) Thanks

Have you got any links to more info about that? That seems like it would cause a bit of a backlash against BT?

Thanks for the info, a quick google showing the rarity of private prosecutions in Scotland is definitely encouraging!

I can't believe what I've just read. A civil case yeah why not but criminal charges and imprisonment from a private entity after the CPS have basically said its not worth it? Scary.

If only :) The more likely thing (in my opinion) is that people who're passionate about coding will learn on their own and seek out material without the help of these sites. Most of this stuff will probably pass as a current net fad. There
