From my reading of the article I think the ferry is intended to service inter-island hops on Orkney where a 200 car ferry would be overkill. Also as the article reports, Orkney has an idiotically huge amount of renewable power available, fa

Sadly it's not just Irn Bru they ruined. Many soft drinks now taste completely off because of the sugar tax thing here. Another favourite treat was "Old Jamaica Ginger Beer" and that's now undrinkable. Sad days for those

Being Scottish, Barr's Irn Bru (full fat) was my go-to as a pick-me-up after a night on the sauce. Sadly now ruined by artificial sweeteners replacing some of the sugar due to government sugar taxes on pop.

As a kid in the 70's growing up in Scotland we were given Lucozade (long before the "energy drink" fad) and quite often Ferguzade (a similar product but made in Scotland) when we were ill. Both had pretty odd tastes back then

I think the killer feature would be if Framework provided schematics so you can carry out component level repairs, even on the replaceable modules.

by teh_klev 5y ago
I believe it's about getting attention and committing to a supplier a certain amount of orders so you get to deal with them directly. If Framework had split the manufacture of this machine between Intel and AMD then the volume of chips

Not actually correct. You needed to fiddle about with code access security using the caspol tool and then they'd run just fine. .NET 4 disables CAS by default though there can still be a bit of faff to get an exe to launch from a file
