You’re going to want to look at those pictures if you have them or do you just collect file names?

On a positive note at least everyone has got over this allergy to incrementing versions. Hopefully they’ll get over the allergy of anything but rolling releases next so we can have some stability and lifecycle control back again.

So did I. Until it aged which it didn’t well.

Perhaps I’m old and cynical but we’ll see if that actually occurs. I admire your optimism though :)

Actually I don’t think it is. Microsoft promise way ahead of time, fail to deliver, reduce scope, kick out a broken half finished product, get the customers to beta test it, change their mind on the direction of the entire organisation in t

Start me up … dah dah dah … you make a grown man cry . Another marketing disaster.

It’ll be Windows 364 or something. I’d say 365 but it spend a day a year at the update screen.

Microsoft marketing is totally schizophrenic. Never believe a fucking word of it for a second and your life will be good.

I think if you look at the actual current state of the repair industry it’d scare you off the idea fairly quickly. There are very few competent people and even fewer business where competence is promoted. I’m going to slap Rossman here as w

Depends on which phase of the moon it is. Best to look at the total cost of ownership over the warranty period and see if you’re happy with the monthly total. Anything outside that is a bonus! Same applies to Apple. Keysight’s semi legendar

That’s the risk you take on with promoting right to repair. It’s be better if we had stronger consumer legislation globally that forces manufacturer responsibility rather than demand we can do the job ourselves. Imagine if you bought a lapt

I worked in the defence industry for a few years where they did this. I also have equipment that is nearly 50 years old in service now (electronic test gear). BUT the cost was astronomical as were the storage requirements for parts and the

2009-2016 Citroen c3 is a winner. Not sure about newer ones. Only computation it has is Bluetooth.

I would buy this in an instant once someone posts a review for a complete unit. This fixes the main problem I have with the RPi which is crappy storage support.

Oh yes indeed. It’s cheap, safe, reliable and runs on mosquito fart quantities of gas.

by hughrr 5y ago
Yea that’s exactly it.

I rest in the knowledge that it is at least a relatively harmless cult in the scale of things.

Model 3 is a much better proposition on features and price though.

He’s a qualified engineer and ran a software company for 30 years. He knows his shit already so I don’t need to. But fundamentally the issues are flawed analysis rather than defective implementation.

Yep. This. I’m even more sharp with the description. It’s a no brand android tablet with wheels. My Citroen feels better put together and it’s made of cooking foil.

I don’t buy on features myself because quite frankly every damn car I’ve hired or bought which has anything other than basic features is chock full of bugs and has to be fixed every two minutes. Auto companies just can’t and shouldn’t write

It makes him tell everyone he's happy but that's where it ends. He's got too much pride to tell the truth. And those aren't quirks; they are big stinking problems. Never write down a problem as something that isn't

From detailed experience on this you want to be both the first person to be asked to take on a complex problem and the last person out of the door when things get tough. Make yourself indispensable through being the person running towards d

So much this. I hope I don't stand on too many toes here. Actually I don't care. My father has a self driving enabled Tesla Model S which he paid a hell of a lot of money for that he doesn't have as he's in his 70s, livi

This is one of those little echo chambers. If you go looking for people who microdose then you’re going to find people who microdose and extol the virtues of it. When everyone around you is doing it because you went looking then you think i

Well there went the last 30 minutes of my life. Turns out I can sustain 86wpm which is better than I expected. Was fun. Thank you :)

I doubt it's a lie. The explanation is simply shit enough to cover all possible outcomes. Really internally it's now being pondered by the Corporate Apologetics team at Microsoft which will follow the standard 3 point plan: 1. Q

Oh crap I’d forgotten about that. First experience with this was my mother calling out of the blue. “There’s this purple monkey on the screen and he’s telling me things” . For a few minutes I thought she’d OD’ed her meds. Then there was re
