   I generally agree ... however, the one point that lets wired down is their durability. I spent 10 years not changing my favourite wired headphones (replacing them probably 10 times in that period). I've been with my (pretty damned chea

   The difference is marginal in my view. The only difference now is that they wear suits and bleed you slowly instead of putting you out of your misery with one shot. Time for a coffee.

   England? No chance. The locals would be out with pitchforks and burning stakes after the first brick was placed. Your narrative is instructive, though. Thus has it always been so ...

   Lol at getting downvoted for this. I was there at the time in the middle of it. Any other view is the view of someone deluded by the fragmented promise of Symbian. It was a system that was managed into a situation of grabbing defeat from th

   Agreed, Android was terrible back then, but you could see the trajectory and it was housed and organised under one roof (back when Google were doing some things right), as opposed to Symbian who just seemed too fragmented to get lift off.

   What I get is Tesla selling a pipe-dream "next year" that may take a decade or two to solve. FSD is a novelty at best right now (cruise control is handy), and a con at worst.

    Symbian was great back then against feature phones ... but absolutely obliterated by todays competition. I have a hard time believe they would have stood a chance (even assuming the software was evens, organisationally they wouldn't ha

    You're willing to pay the price of those algorithms and the Google ecosystem. Others are not. I'm excited to review this project. Thanks to the creators. This has come at a perfect moment ... as, this weekend, I'm literally d

    I will give Sheets another go soon to see how it's progressed but I've always run up against a deal breaker before. And I say "soon" because I thought I'd have a Sunday-morning nosey around right now after reading y

    Thanks, good to see some options I can dabble with.

    Maybe for replacing Word, not Excel. Google Sheets is handy for basic tasks among small/large groups. Get even a tiny bit "sophisticated" and it's all over.

    Yes, think 2001: Space Odyssey, the jump from monkeys to spaceships. It still happened though.

    No. I was recently incredibly annoyed with my TV "threatening" me that if I didn't accept the regular new privacy policies, I would lose functionality (of course, with the 50 pages of on-screen legalese that you're suppo

    100% ... I'd rather at least get the pleasure of driving, rather than basically becoming the supervisor for my car. Quartlery performance reviews, checking on KPI's. Autopilot and the like are absolutely not on my list of features

    There are countless examples of situations where sustained abuse has happened online and then carries on offline. Sure, post anonymously, and that's fine, but not everyone does (nor should be required to). It's all roses at the be

    "A bad word" ... is that really what is being discussed here? How about "a sustained torrent of racist abuse". I can imagine some feeling unsafe in that situation. Can't you?

    Understood. I apologise though the aggrecious level was off the scale. I thought it was quite a poetic and appropriate response at the time rather than flamewar'ish, but you're right.
