I had to perform a fresh re-install on a laptop earlier this year and even had to go to the lengths of physically removing the WiFi card from the machine before I could get the local account option to appear in the installer. What an absolu

You could get ISDN2 installed on domestic premises in the UK. It wasn't cheap though, because as soon as you wanted a bonded 128k channel the cost could become somewhat eye watering for a domestic user (or even a small business). The g

I disagree, five to ten years is far too short. I have a couple of audio devices that are ~14 years old and working perfectly fine. If either of them broke then I'd want to repair them (unless of course the fault was fabulously catastr

Apropos Alternative Reality Games, there's a film called The Game which stars Michael Douglas that's worth a watch. It's maybe a wee bit dated, but certainly enjoyable. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt011917

That was my very first thought as well. We may be showing our ages :)

That's where I bumped into the sequel but couldn't remember the specific tweet. Thanks.

Tangentially, the other week I found out that Dodie Smith wrote a sequel to "The Hundred and One Dalmatians." which is quite barking (sorry) mad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starlight_Barking It has a S

This is utter nonsense. It's maybe the case if you're running a 15+ year old PC with the slowest spinning rust disk and 1GB of RAM.

Those are rules made up for the convenience of marketers and have nothing to do with the technical aspects of mail delivery as defined in the RFCs. Edit just to clarify: KPI's such as bounce rates etc aren't a function of how mail
