True, they are expensive, but that build quality and the availability of firmwares to do what you are looking for with just a quick flash makes them handy AF for keeping in a pocket to play with. I have found several uses for mine which wer

I've had a NextCloud server and an IRC bouncer running on Oracle Cloud with static IP for two years now, free of charge. More than sufficient to host a site, even dynamic.

Unless a cop actually sees you doing a ridiculous speed they aren't going to check for P/W ratio or motor output Electric scooters are illegal in the UK, but police don't have time or inclination to stop their widespread usag

Oh leave GCHQ alone. When the 1337 h4x0rz get a copy of the decryption scheme we can all have lulz at their expense. To paraphrase a quote attributed to Napoleon; "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake"

One of the best reasons to pay after you eat is so you can question the bill in case of an unsatisfactory dish or service. Tipping is optional in many areas, and can depend on the quality of the Front of House staff. Picking up a payment fo

I wonder what on earth these people are dreaming of when they try to stop one person promoting a book by making a move guaranteed to kick off the Streisand Effect and having the whole media machine do it for her? Maybe they're getting

I use W3W as part of my address. When I get a food or parcel delivery and meet the person I point it out. Having been a delivery driver of varying types, a cab driver, and in other passenger movement jobs, being able to pinpoint a location

I wouldn't recommend this without reservations, but I passed my bike test at 40 and got a 1 litre adventure sport motorcycle. I'd ridden bikes in my youth and have been a professional driver for most of my life. Knowing how roads

This guy picked a fight, noticed he's losing, then goes running to the people who are collateral damage in his silly power game? Man up and take your medicine. 'Don't be a dick'. Here endeth today's lesson. Also, lo

When I saw 'Daily Mail' and sex act I assumed par for the course. Was nice to read about putting lights on things to break up the silhouette.

This isn't a bad thing. Financially it's ruinous to buy disposables when you can pick up a simple cigar sized vape with rechargeable battery and replaceable coil/pod for the same price, then refill it over and over again. The

With motorcycles it's of incalculable benefit to be heard early on because we're rarely seen until the crash.

Ali and eBay have been at this for years. I've got a X to sell for £100. I can also sell Y, which costs £50. I'll advertise with the main selling price of Y and the main picture/description of X ... Profit! Most people are se

'Scare quotes' is not the only use of the double quote. In this case it seems that the author is pointing out that the incumbents do not in fact have any inferred or conferred ownership of these public spaces.

Indicators. Little flashing orange/yellow lights that give other road users a hint of what the driver intends. If the light closest to you on the car you're looking at is on, they're probably going to cross your path, and wit

I'm a professional driver and have been since the 90s. The day will one day come where the shitty proprietary map providers that pay auto manufacturers to foist them on us get ousted and we can have a USB-C connection to the car's

Like a lot of people, I got fed up of the tech calls from relatives. I put mother on Mint years ago. An old Toshiba laptop which she uses to read papers and play mahjongg. It ended up developing a hardware fault so I donated an iMac my SO n

Does Zippo predate that? I think Leatherman have a similar warranty to Zippo, and they've been around a while, too.

Why not do the best job you can all the time? I'm sure there are food outlets in your area who would like to hire wait staff with a will to succeed regardless of the customer's attitude and behaviour. Better establishments might e

If it were taught to the young, as it was when I was a youth, it should become a behaviour aped (consciously or otherwise) by peers. Putting a token barrier up in city centres wouldn't restrict access, and would help root the distincti

I'm never paying for Alexa. They get latinum enough from datamining and privacy intrusions. As soon as they put adverts on, or charge for the smart timer/lightswitch functionality, I'm out. There are OSS projects and I have R
