Oh it was a complete rip off. It was apparently the luxury end of things but they put us in the “overflow” block. Catering was included in that price. It was renewed every 3 months so we moved into a 4 bed house which we rented for £400pcm

Sounds like my student accommodation 25 years ago. We had human shit flowing down the hall on numerous occasions, the rooms were so small you could only lie down in one axis and the refectory food put people in hospital and wasn't even

That sort of nailed it from my understanding as well. Also, and apologies for the cynicism, a lot of the current DSLR following is another rich person's hobby which never produces anything other than 4TB of stuff in a Lightroom DB th

I use my Swiss army knife regularly, as alluded to elsewhere in this thread. It has supplanted a few other tools in an effort to minimise the amount of crap I have. The one I own is 20 years older than me and is a hand me down from my fathe

I didn't notice how big my 13 pro (not max) was until I got my old 6s out. But quite frankly after taking some photos with it, I don't care now. Quick snap at London Bridge station: https://imgur.com/ykYyOh1

Bit of html with some img tags beats both.

I’ve got a Swiss Army knife that’s twenty years older than me. Does the job well and many other ones too and will outlive me no doubt. As for fancy contraptions, these can be avoided by drinking the whole bottle when you open it, preferably

I really like this content but the medium and presentation destroys it.

Key things are adding regularly scheduled daily and monthly items to reminders, image batch processing, silencing my devices when I get to the office, distributing event photo galleries, generating PDFs and scanning and filing receipts for

Yes same here. I have an M1 mini and M1 MBA sitting here. Best computers I have ever owned.

They’re incremental upgrades. Why does everyone complain about this? If they let them rot for 5 years everyone would complain too. I bought a series 7 watch because my series 5 AppleCare ran out, not because it was gloriously a million time

Probably wouldn’t work in the end described. The only way to get it in would be to get the maintainers to accept the patch, then wait for redhat to pull it in, then wait for a stable OS release, then wait for the IT guys to approve that rel

Considering it took three tiers of management and three facilities department members to replace a coffee machine that had an actual service contract in place already, I think something of that administrative complexity would have been beyo

I wouldn’t think too far into this. All that is required is the application of experience and appropriate cynicism. The tech isn’t even relevant and neither is the reality. web3 is a marketing term and is easy to leverage hype on as it imp

I worked for a large defence contractor and getting approval for anyone to pay for that would have been more difficult than actually learning how to fix it myself and fixing it myself. At which point I would never be allowed to contribute t

This works for me too. I bribe myself with small chunks of nice chocolate as well sometimes

That may be a joke but I once wrote most of a ladder logic to AVR GCC transpiler.

It's not fancy but there are some genuinely really cool things in the latest releases. Hide my email (Single use email addresses), privacy protection (remote content proxy) come to mind.

Yes they do offer a web app. It's nearly exactly the same as the desktop Mac app from a usability perspective. I can't really compare to Gmail recently however. It probably has feature parity bar some organisational stuff but is 1

If you're already iOS/Mac users and using iCloud for anything, then worth looking at iCloud+ which now supports custom domains. I've been using this since day one and had no issues so far and the killer feature for me the def

A minute of silence for the poor LabVIEW developers please.

Yes I agree. In fact Apple do that with the MacBook Air. I’d like to see that mandated on all devices.

Can they please mandate replaceable USB-C sockets then because I see a shit load more broken ones than I do lightning connectors. And usually the infernal USB-C things are soldered into the logic board of whatever resulting in damage to tha

I think that’s a little unfair to OSM. While of course it varies in quality, in the last few years I’m finding OSM is far more trustworthy than our offices native Ordinance Survey maps in the UK. The latter feel like they were drawn up by s

No winners either side. And of course no winning for their customers either. I increasingly want nothing to do with battling corporate giants.

They ignore all the bugs in everything. Feels like there’s a skeleton crew at MSFT just applying new turd polish and that’s it.

I actually really don’t care about kindle because it’s only useful for certain formats I tend not to keep anyway and is a lot more convenient and cheaper than hunting down physical copies of stuff. I originally had over 200 books, all read,

ECHELON! More seriously no platform is trustworthy unless it’s airgapped these days.

That’s kind of life though. We have a COM component written in VB6 running in IIS on windows containers on Amazon in EKS. It works but it’s crap!
