There is good stuff out there. I watched Pantheon and Scavengers Reign recently, both excellent, but not old stable anime. Scavengers Reign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWQH8cMpWTU Pantheon: https://www.youtu

I suspect they are just pissed off with us. I did a whale watching tour from Húsavík last year on a cranky old boat. We found one but the poor thing was asleep apparently, just surfacing every few minutes to breathe. Immediately buzzed by a

Glad to hear that. I am about to get on the SAC wagon.

I live near a major airport. There are plenty of other fish in the sea :)

I've got a Hertz EV rental this weekend, albeit a Polestar which was on offer. This is not what I wanted to stumble across. However in my case if they pulled this shit, it would end up as a chargeback because it is definitely outside

But the union has little to no legislative power, only relying on lobbying and private legal cases, at which point you end up competing with non-union entities who have a lot more money.

I'm anti-union AND pro labour regulation. Your government should be targeting wealth inequality with legislation and public services on all of these issues. The union tends to become another opaque organisation with a power hierarchy o

This is hyperbole. They are replaceable. It's just more difficult.

This is normal. They are called decoupling capacitors and are there to provide energy if the SSD requires short bursts of it. If you put them any further away the bit of wire between them and the gate turns into an inductor and has some som

Yeah they even gloss over Lenovo's crappy soldered on the motherboard USB-C connectors which is always the weak point on modern thinkpads. Well that and Digital River (Lenovo's distributor) carries absolutely no spare parts at all

The iPad is the notable omission from the Self Service Repair thing they are doing. I suspect it's just classified as disposable/recyclable. (yes this annoys me)

Tha main reasons I own an (11") iPad Pro are, you can write on it, which is really damn useful, you can wedge it places like tables on planes easier, it weighs hardly anything and you can charge it off a phone charger. Plus being TB ba

I have the same problem. I still print mine out and read them on paper. Low tech but it's the best experience.

That's a good point actually. I can't seem to even bend my M1 Pro MBP. It just eats everything I throw at it and shrugs. It's coming up to 3 years old now and looks like and works like the day it was made.

Ah yeah this pisses me off on my M2 iPad Pro. Totally agree there. I'm still not buying it though.

I work in a different sector. If we built planes it'd be raining bodies. If you go looking you will find. And it's almost never pretty stuff. There is however a lot of paperwork filled in that says everything is fine.

The story summarised: they entered the market rapidly as a me too proposition after seeing apple’s HealthKit, did a crap job of it, decided to start again and pissed off everyone in the process. Whereas Apple have managed to produce devices

Yes it is. They have low to no journalistic standards in that edition and it's heavily propagandized depending on their agenda. Their entire reputation is based on the Western version as "look we use those standards everywhere&quo

Just a point about Al Jazeera that is worth mentioning. There are two Al Jazeeras. One which is presented to Western audiences and one which is presented to Middle-Eastern audiences. The media and articles are politically aligned in each re

Well we had the Home Secretary at the time and some US senate person there.

I worked in the defence sector. There are ways around it. They are just not publicised. We had designated US territory for assembly in the UK so that we didn’t trip over ITAR.

That doesn't always happen. Look at TFL in London...

Well as not part of the government they are a hell of a lot easier to sue.

This is resolvable with regulation and operation conditions being in place. We just have very weak regulation in some sectors.

by cjk2 2y ago
I think the free market is probably a better outcome as long as there is oversight and regulation. The problem is weak regulation. I say that because I remember the nationalised services in the UK in the 70s and 80s and they were a complete

From experience, university staff appear to have never worked outside the student and university sector, so this does not surprise me.

Both. I had one weird one. I once interviewed for a gay social network which was going under because they didn't have any engineers left. I am not gay. They tried to convert me. I politely said that while I have nothing but respect fo
