The only slow load time I get on YT is that bit where yt-dlp is running.

It's really hot, you get plastered to the inside of the doors when it's busy and goes through Hounslow which is where the Indian population is in London. They named it that themselves and it caught on.

The Piccadilly line is known as The Tandoor in some parts of London, hopefully no more!

That wouldn't even help. It'd have to be part of the original supply chain and certification chain for anything to be allowed out of the country that cloned any parts.

I tried literally everything out there. TikZ is actually the least horrible as far as presentation goes. However it's hard work. I eventually settled on using Goodnotes on my iPad, drawing them by hand and just exporting the images.

This. I have never owned a Facebook account, a fact I am glad about.

Philips brought something as abhorrent to production and it sucked.

Quick note: yt-dlp + VLC speed this right up again!

Not sure what the big deal is here. The tech and engineering team is surely the most valuable asset, not the CEO. Edit: comment retracted. People going with him!

Correct. This is a major security fuck up and the consequence is as intended.

I'll give you a clue: it's fucking expensive and their stuff creeps in everywhere.

Or you could not give them any funding to push their DRM agenda on the web? I am happy to steal the content and I shall do that with yt-dlp and VLC because it is the best user experience for actually watching videos. The browser is not an

It only matters if you give a fuck. You don't have to give a fuck to make an impact in the technology market.

A fine example of why MSFT is an investment and reliability risk in the industry.

LHR is fine if you don't have checked baggage. Timing was 2h14m to be precise so a little over. 11 minutes to get to the airport from here. I was running somewhat late I will add!

Got a kindle. Meh. 2 hours of Andy Weir and some exercise walking around the terminal. I was happy.

Agreed. Japan is exceptionally good I agree. Europe not so much. Germany's rail system is a shit show for example. I had to get a taxi to a car hire place a couple of times there.

Trick is to live perpendicular to the flight path where there is good public transport ;) As for the trains, no. Standing up with a suitcase between your legs is not uncommon. I prefer Ryanair to that. When I travel by air I have hand lugga

Completely agree with this. Anyway shifting all our trips to train travel is not the answer. The answer, which I do prefer, is not travelling at all when avoidable. I only ever travel for holidays and funerals. Never on business. All busine

It's not. It's expensive, noisy, takes a long time (6h door to door) and is uncomfortable as fuck. I recently had to go to Edinburgh. It was £235 standard class to get a train that takes several hours. Or £80 to get a plane that t

Yep. My future is cloud offboarding and cost mitigation consultancy. Been through the fad cycle three times now and worked out where to make money :)

I think that's intentional. It's bullshit too.

I use Safari and Edge. I haven't noticed anything that doesn't work on those.

I just deleted some shit.

I'll be honest. I did a year on an 8Gb M1 Mini and it was absolutely fine. I was writing Go, LaTeX, doing all usual Apple apps stuff, using MS Office, remote admin etc. Used Safari as the native browser. Was using Apple Photos for pers

The trick here is to use Mail.app instead. It talks to gmail. Despite there being something obviously wrong here, web browser and web apps are terribly inefficient resource hogs compared to a lot of native stuff. Edit: and electron crap.

As an AWS Solution Architect (independent untethered to Bezos) I resent that comment. I know slightly more than next to nothing about AWS and I can Google something and come up with something convincing and sell it to you in a couple of min

This is the voice of someone who has never actually ended up with a big AWS estate. You don't click to start and stop. You start with someone negotiating credits and reserved instance costs with AWS. Then you have to keep up with spend
