> You believe all children know how to operate a VPN Yes. That’s exactly what we believe. Do you believe that 77% of UK Pornhub users suddenly stopped wanking? Seems pretty implausible to me.

There’s an entropy factor involved though. It’s easier to destroy things than to restore them. We, the UK, will never be able to rejoin the EU on the same sweetheart terms as we had previously. That’s gone and can’t be replicated. In much t

Are you seriously trying to suggest that monitoring of all private messages in Russia and China has stopped child abuse images from being shared? That is preposterous. We dismiss the suggestion of removing the right to privacy precisely bec

I wish this was going to a museum in Düsseldorf, it feels like a missed opportunity. A Kraftwerk museum is exactly the sort of place I’d make a bee-line to as a tourist. I always wonder how Germans view Kraftwerk, as a Brit they feel as imp

Sorry there’s a (hopefully) obvious typo in what I wrote. I 100% agree with you, most bike thefts are opportunistic. I know that high end bikes do get stripped for parts but I think that’s got to be mostly after they are taken and pretty

I think there might be a common myth that having a tatty looking bike means it won’t get stolen. Unfortunately I don’t think a lot of bike thefts are opportunistic and the value of the bike isn’t the motivating factor.

I have a Brompton and no bike lock for this reason. When I’m on my Brompton it goes where I go. Actually I do have a “cafe lock”. Its purpose is just to slow someone down enough for me to catch them on foot. I’ve once successfully used the

Do they? Didn’t Microsoft force all its employees back to the office? That doesn’t sound like they have faith in Teams themselves. I use Teams every day and it can’t even do threading in channels properly. The spellchecker is unreliable and

For the price of AWS you could run Hetzner, a second provider for resiliancy and still make a large saving. Your margin is my opportunity indeed.

Are you British? Personally, I like having a figurehead head of state that is subject to a directly elected Parliament. The King may have cerimonital power but he can never exercise it. As was proved in the Glorious Revolution we can remov

I only buy mass-market cars. I've looked at MG 4s, 5s and BYD Dolphins. I didn't rate any of them. I view all cars as depreciating liabilities and so have little interest in buy either Seal or its Mercedes equivalent.

I guess that’s why Larry, Zuck and Thiel, et al want constant recording of the plebs, so that ‘citizens will be on their best behaviour’. This time there will be no revolution but it will be televised. :P
