Yup you just described the UK. Likely more than $20bn though ! Nice transfer of wealth...

This is just like COVID where countries watch other countries react and just go "huh would you look at that" and go back to their lunch. In the UK there is currently a feels like temperature of -8C (early morning) and yesterday r

In window management, anything other than i3 is an unequivocal downgrade. Rounded corners are just...bizarre. Just because the laptop casing is physically rounded !? (Yet the menubar squares it off off at the top, and the bezel squares it o

British governments have a terrible record with all eco schemes (mostly handouts to conmen). I don't expect this to be different And it is of course home-counties obsessed thinking. They can both afford these toys and also have more su

I will never understand the accomodations people make for a pet which gives you so little in return. If most owners were 100% honest and in private I reckon at least 50% would admit their cat is an asshole. I mean they don't even smile

That sucks. The UK gets a lot of stick for being 'stuck in the past' sometimes but when I hear things like that, I'm totally OK with it. We can even do proxy banking at a Post Office ! [0] At least we don't currently req

I didn't say there is no staff. I said "useful staff" and then clarified I meant staff empowered to help during IRROPS. But I appreciate this is about the US and most of my experience is in Europe. I guess things aren't

Oh just 5 years, that's OK then.

I'm sad we've just accepted that no useful staff at the airport is an acceptable state of affairs. They're full of outsourced agents whose contracts are very specific and don't include things like assisting customers dur

How about its real name, the USA? Crazy idea I know

Times are a changing. We can change the English language on this matter too (or more accurately, it might end up changing). It is something that needs correcting tbh. The USA does not own the Americas.

What? You're being a bit "leave Britney alone!" I'm just saying sometimes when there's smoke there really is an actual fire, so maybe mosey on over in the direction of the smoke and check it out

Maybe...in a world where lawmakers didn't put huge exemptions into GDPR for governments and law enforcement etc. Which they did.

That's curious. What do you mean by /almost/ impossible? Slightly more inconvenient / would have to visit a branch one time? In the UK card readers are still widely supported by traditional banks. As is SMS for one time

What can't you do without a smartphone in the UK or wherever you live? Specifically a smartphone, not just a phone number for SMS + calls.

Apple Silicon was as potent a crack as SSDs and Chrome (both immense steps up from what we had before). I nearly left the Apple ecosystem but the M chips pulled me back...
