   I'm currently over 2 months and 4 emails into a battle to get a tiny amount of compensation for a train delay in the UK. Similar situation, it's not about the money, it's the principle.

   I'm not sure about the accuracy of the article, the problem with the Online Censorship Bill is that it allows the Secretary of State and OFCOM to define what is "harmful", it doesn't specifically mention "offensive&

   You could connect power to the battery connector, like I did recently to a Nook: https://github.com/jonatron/trook/

    You could try cutting some colored masking tape into angular pieces, and sticking them on until there's enough places to track.

    Uploaded about 100 images. Put those images on a page. 50% of them timed out when downloading. Maybe I was just unlucky, but it was a good way to make me instantly lose all confidence DO Spaces. S3 and Backblaze B2 worked fine for the same

    DO's spaces didn't even work for the most basic test of putting a few images on a page when I tried it. I couldn't say it's comparable to S3.

    I just set up a few small sites (not live yet) on us-east-2, because us-east-1 has a poor reputation. I wanted to avoid multi-region to keep things simple, but now I'm thinking I might have to spend the additional time on it. Not ideal

    I can't imagine much new investment into UK datacentres will happen with electricity prices at £0.66/kWh ($0.80). That's a quoted day time price for a fixed 12 month tariff at the moment.

    So Amazon do nothing when this is reported to them. I reported an eBay listing recently, they did nothing. I reported a spam youtube comment, nothing. Google scam ads investigated by the BBC - nothing: https://www.bbc.co.uk/

    A side effect is that it allows anyone running a website to build a database of TeamViewer installs behind IP addresses. If there was a TeamViewer security issue, that database could be useful.

    It's less about the AC units, and more about the buildings. In places like Spain and Portugal, white painted outside walls, shading, and shutters on the outside of windows all help keep the heat out. My house has none of that, it just

    You can avoid deep tube lines for many journeys. Elizabeth line, Thameslink, overground, circle, district are all air conditioned. I've definitely taken slightly longer routes to avoid the deep tube lines when it's been hot before
