The failure was on the GWML, it affected services to places like cardiff, Devon, Oxford, as well as the “Elizabeth line” branded trains running on the line. There’s nothing new about the line. Obviously the overhead power wasn’t there in 18

So people walk out after a 10 minute outage, then it’s fixed, but you can’t turn power on because a few people have decided to go for a stroll?

Your rant is from a decade ago. Everything is delivered nowadays. Sure in the 70s the average housewife wouldn’t work and would walk to to the local shops during the week. Nowadays everyone works, so shops need to be open more hours. The re

The problem I have with Spotify is the money I pay doesn’t go to the artists I potentially to. If I pay £15 a month and listen to 15 different artists 50 times each I would expect each artist to get £1 minus costs, so say 50p. But they don

I’ve never encountered an isp blocking icmp that doesn’t also block all sorts of traffic. I can ping 8.8.8.8 or whatever from almost every connection I’ve used anywhere in the world. Not every router will return a tel expired of course, and

You need a router that takes a standard sfp and can support a dhcp client? That’s basically any router!

Switching packets in hardware is trivial (assuming you have a chip). If you want to process them in software you need something more beefy.

You’re 10 years out of date. With certificate pinning the dubious benefits of breaking SSL and introducing major severity risk no longer works, far too many exceptions to manage Run your endpoint security on your devices

Yes it is. If you want to deploy a typical small office traditionally you’d have wifi, switching, routing, firewall, vpn. Typically some of this would be integrated into a single box (routing and firewall for example), but you have a bunch

Companies aren’t satisfied with selling a great product for a profit, they have to keep growing. Their view is that not doing things like cloud services, adverts, selling personal data, etc is “leaving money on the table”

If private organisations are doing it then it must be good, otherwise they would go bust when other large companies don’t do it and can undercut.

1200 London time, so 1100UTC with daylight saving yes. Point remains, many events are linked to local civil time, which can change - and not just to daylight saving. The Line Islands in Kiribati shifted a whole day in 1994, same with Samoa

When I built a live clock for some new CasparCG based graphics for a major TV program out of singapore some years back, a colleague reviewing it in London tried to trick it with a Nepal offset — apparently they’d run into an issue with the
