I had this on my MacBook. It kept asking me to accept iCloud terms over and over again. The fix was to sign out of iCloud and sign in again. Try that?

Yes you’re right of course but YouTube is not doing anything about it. Where is the middle ground between great firewall of china and an unlimited stream of content that anyone anywhere can target at kids that is available because it fits s

Natural monopolies should be centrally planned, because in this case the market competition is between nations on the basis of which one is an efficient and therefore cost effective place to operate. Companies don't set up competing ma

I’m in the UK and lucky to be registered with an NHS dentist (places are scarce) so they have no incentive to treat problems I don’t have. I have to pay a token amount for dental checks and hygienist visits. Something like £15 a time.

The driving directions in google maps are terrible though. I’ve been using Apple Maps for a while and someone WhatsApped me a map link I didn’t notice it had opened google maps and I was getting annoyed that it wasn’t telling me what lane t

Yep it’s crap. I use ‘USB overdrive’ and a cheap generic 5 button wired mouse off amazon. I find this gets the best latency and customisability for graphics work. My Logitech Bluetooth mouse that I used for travel doesn’t work on Apple sili

I’ve not noticed any of the issues either. Could it be crappy third party mouse or keyboard customisation software? I’ve noticed that Logitech software has sometimes has sometimes caused wierd issues over the years.

Maybe the author has it backwards. Correlation causation etc. Could it be that access to public transport, or better infrastructure in general, gives people the opportunity to earn better wages?

I can totally understand why Americans would want to silence these. I'm from the UK and I was in Central Park with my wife and kids when we got an 'Amber Alert' which said something like 'Black Ford SUV reg XYZ123'

Maybe the organisation that bought the ferry should enforce the contract they have with the ferry supplier so that the ferry works properly? Maybe the contract should have included a service plan? It’s a four hour drive to a city of 100k pe

So if you’ve installed a malicious app from Samsung store or you’ve sideloaded a malicious app, it has close to root access and can access data from any other app on the phone? The keys leaked in 2016 and these signing keys are still being

Yes but now they can't change because the first one to do this becomes uncompetitive, the only way to introduce this in a fair way that otherwise maintains market competition is to introduce a rule that applies to all the companies in

Don’t bother with emails. The only way to deal with companies like this is to write a formal physical letter. Look up the process for filing a claim in the small claims court in Ireland. I would guess that the Irish system is probably prett

Paris-Bordeaux was €15m per mile for electrified 200mph capable line. $20m / mile doesn't sound amazing for a non electrified line that operates at 79mph now and might have sections that operate at 125mph in the future.

Hmmm, are you British? Perhaps you could give some examples? I don't think the UK is relentlessly classist and accents work both ways because having an accent that is too posh in Britain is also a disadvantage. We used to tease someone

I’ve experienced it once in the UK and either the phone network reception was really bad or the restaurant’s website was ultra slow so it didn’t work. While we are on the subject… The worst app crime is the effing calmac ferry app. All the

My local council has been replacing street lights with ones that don’t leak light upwards and also only turn on full brightness when you walk close to them. I wonder if other places have done this to an extent that would affect the data.
