   I wouldn’t worry because it won’t work anyway so you’re not losing anything. When they introduced Virtual Secure Mode in windows 10 with big fanfare, there was a CVE that followed almost immediately. The case in point is it’s putting lipsti

   Thanks for heads up - will look into that right away.

   Yes my 22 month old 6s is showing 86% battery and when you take the bumper off it looks like the day I bought it. I run my life off it and it gets used for hours a day. I suffered android for a number of years and you're right. Trash.

   I feel like I've been licking toads recently. So much crazy going on.

   Definitely. I can’t understand why the hell anyone would want to use it anyway. The experience is terrible.

   I just use flex. You don’t have to ship flex as a dependency either.

   Your last point is spot on. NHS did it with Spine 2.

    Or just not bother reading the thousands of syndicated bits of crap and opinion pieces which is what "journalism" is mostly these days.

    Social credit score system in China takes this role I understand. People seem not to like that idea however.

    Rubbish. I have done GDPR prep for my one man limited company. Took about a day. I don’t even use that company! https://www.simplybusiness.co.uk/knowledge/articles/2017/11/...

    I just did this. My options were: 1. Buy a new Lenovo laptop. 2. Buy a new Apple laptop. I went for 2 and paid for Little Snitch and it is literally dead and works flawlessly. Once my family’s windows 10 laptops are off (even if they’re doi

    The first point is a worrying one despite the sarcasm. They are attaching themselves to a lot of major open source platforms and projects. I don’t think this is the old embrace, extend, extinguish approach but something new and unknown. The

    Names.. Satya Nadella is directly responsible here. There has been no response from him on petitions about it. Google the various sources: Ben Evans is responsible for enforcing the state of affairs on .Net core at least. https:/&#x2F

    So it's ok for small companies to leak personal data? Doctors' surgeries are small companies here in the UK. The issue here is that literally every company across the world doesn't give a crap past the end of their nose and h

    Indeed. There are some fucking crazy people out there. I was at a relatively minor gig, right at the front and someone threw a full beer can at the frontman and smashed him right in the face. He picked a stage speaker up and threw it at the

    Well it's not like you find it in a bush these days so you have to put some effort in.

    It is lies. Exactly that. The thing that gets me is that a lot of it blatantly just doesn't work. You walk in, are sold an ideal, walk out, get to work and find out you're suddenly wading in shit. But people are totally 100% happy

    Having managed desktop windows deployments, I sort of agree. They work pretty well up to a point and that point stops when you have to introduce change control. Eventually all the little hacks, GPO scripts and stuff piles up and up and up

    I've been in this since Netware for MSDOS. Your last point is valid in most circumstances but the issues are technical and not with staffing or skill level. I'll outline some of the technical issues I have, with my skill set which

    You can buy a $10 aliexpress logic analyser and lift data off a high speed bus easily. I've got a rather nice oscilloscope that actually does this. However there's a massive disparity between that and actually modifying the bus da

    Yes and no. Having used DSC and powershell remoting extensively, these create as many problems as they solve. Nothing works smoothly. Not a thing. The saving grace here will be SSH because then at least we can drive all our kit across both

    That was exactly it. 3-5 resistors (depending on wattage) 50p. That was the price of a mars bar and can of Coke at the time. Maplin 6p.
