I have a 12 mini and have also found that 26 has killed my battery life. I also agree that they didn’t test it on smaller screens, there are lots of cases where things don’t quite fit right. I’ve been wanting a better camera for a little wh

Is it possible? The EU is finding now that it is hard to keep data from the USA, which as a jurisdiction falls as much into that category as China does. I would argue it is not possible to ever consider the internet 'safe' because

It’s a bold assumption that only China is tracking this info though. Mobile operators are some of the worst at selling ‘anonymised’ data on their users

Your comment made me stop and calculate and I was surprised to find I’m similar. When I really need to focus groove salad has always been my thing. Sometimes I find myself reluctant to putting it on because I know I’ll get sucked into the t

I don’t know, I have definitely been approached by someone with that exact statement before. Then I have to figure out what they’re actually trying to achieve to avoid an x-y problem, and figure out the right solution. I would totally expec

I think it's probably from "I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue". I think the game was Film Club, there they have to suggest films that would appeal to a certain demographic. The demographic was "Cheese Makers", a

I wonder how it does work, I remember MS Word having a fairly decent grammar checker when I was using it in school - which predated LLMs by many years! I suspect an LLM wouldn’t be the most optimal choice

Fare, not fair (I’m sorry, it doesn’t matter but I couldn’t help it in a discussion on quality)

Yes, I can imagine this for other things. We have exactly that model for TVs, other appliances, and most especially cars. Getting something on a lease is by no means restricted to houses. Sure, it's not always a great idea, but there a

I think that might say more about your network connection than the site...

I asked because it wasn’t blindingly obvious, and I genuinely want to understand. Taking the traffic enforcement then - we’re talking about a dangerous piece of machinery that you’re allowed to operate in a public place under certain condit

I’m interested in how strong your reaction is to those two examples. Could you explain why those are such terrible things?

We did without it, sure, but I’m pretty sure people in ages past would have wanted to take photos just as we do now

Always good to see more Sinclair C5 content. My one claim to fame is that I am the person pictured 'driving' a friend's Sinclair C5 on the wikipedia page!

I did a double take when I saw this here. I’ve lurked on LFGSS, posted from time to time and bought things through it. Genuinely one of the best online communities I’ve been in, and the best cycling adjacent one by far. Having said all that

Yes it is a joke of some kind. Well, parody/play on/pastiche of an old story about Mel that’s linked at the end. Read it if you haven’t already, it’s worth your time.

minor nitpick, but it's not ownership so much as location. Sometimes the ISP will own the equipment, but it will be located on the customer premises rather than the ISP premises. It's an important distinction as you can't jus

I came to see if anyone else has made that connection. I wonder if he saw this and it was an inspiration? Hard to know because he could quite as easily imagined it.

If you can't be sure or know how to verify that ChatGPT's maths is correct, then surely the output is entirely meaningless?

I think the best approach would be to enroll the device in a MDM solution such as jamf. You can use this to apply very granular restrictions to what apps or websites can be used, and if you set a complex passphrase then you can’t just log i

I think the secret is that they are small enough to be a constant hassling nuisance, so OR now knows that they’ll just get grief until it’s done. Squeaky wheel and all that :)

A lot of stuff is hosted on compromised sites or devices - which are often running some insecure admin interface on an odd port. Very rare in my experience that someone would spin up a new web server on a box they’ve popped.

Thanks - that is a good point. I mentioned lineage only to say I was initially put off because I didn't want to spend lots on a new phone; but this way I was able to get a 2018 model running the latest version of Android. After some mo

I tried a dumbphone but it was a frustrating experience. I recently bought myself a cheap old Android device and installed LineageOS on it. I then removed the play store and browser, and installed a handful of apps that are useful and that

We went to the science museum in London recently with our youngish children. It has some very fancy galleries, with swish modern graphics. But the bit that really caught their attention was the secret life of the home[1] gallery in the base
