In Scotland and elsewhere in Europe you have “commonhold” where tenants own the freehold of their flats. Edit: sorry, in Scotland it is called freehold or feuhold not commonhold but could be considered equivalent. I believe commonhold is al

Many local authority run buildings do not have sinking funds, so large bills can happen. An outcome from Grenfell is the government is considering mandatory sinking funds.

Who are Microsoft competing with to add this feature? Have they decided that Apple has control of the privacy hill and they’re going to get as far away from it as possible? Windows 10 is an annoyance.

I’ve worked at a workplace before that had one of these software packages. It had a taskbar icon so everyone knew it was there. Still a bad show installing it, but at least less subtle than Microsoft’s efforts.

A PlayStation 5 is £450 and will smoothly play any game I buy for it. PlayStation+ for 7 years is £350. Total cost excluding games is £800 for 7 years of smooth gameplay. An £800 PC wouldn’t even play current games smoothly, never mind rele

I am a fan of the UK system. Historically significant assets are free of taxes (inheritance, capital gains) provided they are available for public viewing. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/gds/heritage/colsearch.htm

Get faster internet. Take your laptop to a google campus and download on their wifi. Set up a VPS and download and manipulate there. Plenty of solutions.

Diesel isn’t great either - the diesel gels in the cold and has to be heated again. It’s a real pain, I can see why electric cars are popular in cold countries even if the range isn’t as advertised.

It’s strange that people would rather a small chance of crashing themselves, versus a smaller chance of the car crashing for you. If Tesla is going to be a safer driver than me, it’s already a good investment. If a software bug means I die,

If they wanted to be enviroment they would have switched to USB-C. I'm personally happy about the lack of charger, all my Apple ones go into a drawer never to be seen again.

I am not a fan of that remote control at all. I constantly sit on it, skipping through shows; and I don't get the purpose of the touchpad vs a d-pad. No one uses the trackpad on their playstation controllers, why did apple run with the

I disagree. Trust is earned by a name. Someone new picking up the project should earn that trust again. There should be fair competition between forks - not just the first to claim the name wins.

Raw materials were already being shipped in. I imagine there was more waste from industry than there were British raw materials being used. So moving industry offshore should result in a reduction in shipping. Provided it’s being moved to s

Webex. No temporary unmute. Can’t see myself, why can’t I be a full size panel? Jisti. Can’t dial in. Utterly useless for anyone with bad internet for this reason.
