Thank you for bothering to get into that with them so I didn't have to respond to that absurdity ... ironically I think they are just trying to be offended for the sake of it, I'm surprised they didn't have a pop at the UK kn

Online Safety Act that's being cited here is "any sexual image"... as usual with UK laws a "sexual image" is not defined in statute and is a matter of fact for a court to rule on whether or not any given image is &q

My wife already buys a Libre Freestyle over the counter here in the UK... are we talking the same thing? Why are (or were) they prescription only in the US..?

Yes it is unfortunately... we used to use them as it supports a local farmer with a proper price for their milk and the delivery guy gets paid a fair amount but when prices shot up we went back to supermarket milk. I'm all for making s

Even then they have some discretion... A few years back my mother gave me her old MBA she wasn't using, she windows on it but no MacOS for some reason... it wouldn't recover via network recovery because the latest os that model su

The funny thing is Apple even have a support article on how to do this (and actually say in it "may improve your performance") I literally followed it step by step and it was very easy and had no issues.

I recently moved my macOS installation to an external Thunderbolt drive - it's faster than the internal SSD.

So apart from the protected class thing, there's no concept of wrongful dismissal in the US? And what's different in Montana?

Is there no law in the US that requires an employer to find a job for somebody before firing? And that includes being allowed to apply for open roles...

Is that 48 hours even if it's faulty? It's 30 days under law here to replace or refund (your choice) and within six months the retailer is still responsible for providing a repair or replacement (their choice). I do wonder if that

Even the GPS satellites have to take into special relativity - they have to correct for a tiny amount of time per day due to time dilation causing the moving clocks on the satellites to tick slightly slower than the stationary ones on Earth

I said it was handy not something I would go out of my way to get... the fridge has it so it's useful. I don't understand why so many people on here are so offended by a useful feature that from most people's perspective is j

My point about the alarm is that I have neighbours or friends who are willing to pop around and sort shit out. People are taking this waaaayyyy out of context. I said it was handy. I didn't say it was a must feature or even one that ma

They did fine for many years without mobile phones, cars, aircraft and computers... your point is irrelevant. It's just a handy extra to have I really don't see why people find my phone pinging me if the door is left open so offen

Yes? But that still isn't a case for saying avoid it... I didn't say it was earth shattering life changing feature... if it has it, it's "handy". Not something that would make me buy it but useful if it does.

Friends and neighbours? Turn around? My wife works 15 minutes drive from home?

If you're home or not upstairs asleep it's sufficient... it's not a feature that would make me choose the fridge but it's handy when it has it.

Probably a tiny handful of times? And would it have been useful? Yes of course it's useful to get a warning when you're not at home or upstairs in bed. I didn't say it was a life changing critical feature, I said "handy&

I guess it depends what you mean by "play an instrument" - almost all proficient conductors have proficiency in at least one orchestral instrument. There is at least one (so I'm speculating he's not the only one, but it
