Nothing more to add here but lovely to see yours and the commentor above you's tastes. I got well into a few of these artists after playing Hotline Miami for far too many hours (followed by HM2, platinum on both). Terrible shame about

Ryanair don’t charge you 55 euros, at least not from what I’m reading [1]. It’s completely free, at the airport, provided you’ve checked in already, which from my experience can be done up to 24 hours prior to your flight. Plenty of time to

I genuinely believe there's an xkcd for everything. I was only reading about the creator, Randall Munroe a few days ago and he's clearly very talented.

I got this for my mother and she loves it, but it’s bloody hard some days! Great bit of kit though for any puzzle lovers.

Helldivers 2 was exceptional for this in my experience - I met some great people from matchmaking, both when I was playing with IRL friends and solo. I know it’s only a video game but it truly felt like a proper bonding experience when you

In my first job I raised JIRA-1337 and was pretty chuffed with myself, being on a team of young, nerdy gamer type folk. My manager not so much, they wanted to raise it (for a meme?) but I was doing actual work rather than watching numbers g

People are prosecuted for this with zero evidence other than an ‘admission’, with the admission being as nebulous as ‘yeah the tv is on’. How can you prove someone was watching TV in court? As far as I’m aware you can’t, but the court sides

That’s got me thinking, who controls that? Do the BBC willingly employ Capita to enforce the licence, or are they mandated to enforce it in some way and Capita just so happen to be the vultures that were cheapest to hire?

This is my theory. My relatives wouldn’t have a clue whether they were lying about being some official inspector and saying they’re allowed to inspect, and they would probably be scared of either an official looking, or bailiff looking pers

It’s not really a topic of conversation that I’d bring up, but I know many people who do pay it so you aren’t the only one. I don’t because I don’t use anything that requires me to, not from a moral standpoint. The BBC has given me a lot of

I doubt Capita would have any fallout from an inquiry, it would be another headline for a day or two then get forgotten by the media. I’m all for it though, they should be held accountable, my first statement is purely cynicism from me.

Anecdotal, but out of my family I’m the only man who doesn’t pay the licence fee, and the only person who hasn’t had a visit. They’ve visited my mother, sister and one auntie that don’t pay - they all live alone and are the sole name on the

For what it’s worth Mongolians call Westerners ‘coloured eyes’ - I wouldn’t immediately consider ‘round eyes’ having racist intent. > weird Chinese language app I can’t really defend that one though.

Everything (the tool) is ridiculously fast, I’ve used it for quite a while now and it’s nice to see it mentioned here.

I may be asking a really silly question here, but > as soon as an IP address is logged as having visited the trap URL (honeypot, or zipbomb or whatever), a log monitoring script bans that client. Is this not why they aren’t getting the f

Always had time to support and mentor people with his incredible skills, would be online at 4am doing out of hours deployments with us, and inevitably get us out of the shit when something went wrong. I was frequently in awe of his technica

I don’t think any large screen manufacturer would give a second thought to this, the average consumer will still want the 4K, HDR, flat screen that is wall mountable. The market the CRTs would steal is practically non existent, surely. I’d

You’re going to have an inspection van outside your house any minute now ;) Amusing that you can fill the form out with (presumably) foreign addresses.

For the majority of my childhood and teenage years the door was never locked. I don’t think it’s a British thing to leave your keys on the seat, but they were always in the hallway, right next to the unlocked door (like everyone else I knew

I read it as they have a powerful enough machine to generate weekend material that doesn’t seem to degrade in user experience or satisfaction (i.e get boring over time) which you may experience when enjoying ‘normal’ weekend activities

I came across this interesting 'bingo sheet' style website for tonights UK General Election and wanted to share it, results will be coming in throughout the night and I'm somewhat unsure whether they're hitting an API to

There is no grass to touch in the back rooms. Jokes aside, what’s wrong with having an interest in a (seemingly very) niche subject that doesn’t harm anyone and is a pretty cool investigation task?

Thanks for the explanation, that makes it much clearer.

This might be a silly question, but how does this even happen? I would have thought they’d finalise the game, get a ‘master’ of sorts and then send it to a mass production facility - how would the deleted archive end up on the master? Did t

In England we definitely use wood in pretty much all houses. The roof trusses, the partition walls, the floorboards, beams to hold the ceiling/upstairs, fixtures (kitchen and bathroom fitted cabinets), doors etc. I would guess the pers

It seems like a pretty basic breakdown, imo. I don’t know much about Flutter or Kotlin but I was expecting a lot more detail in an article hitting the front page. Bit of a nothingburger really, given what we already know about the device. I

I’m a bit late responding, but thanks for accepting that you are unable to drive. As someone who hits the road most days, whether in a car or on a motorbike it’s absolutely crazy to witness the state of affairs going on on the roads. My unc
