   I don’t think those ages are right (the maths do not follow, so I’m almost certain they are not). In y11 you turn 16, not 17. https://www.gov.uk/national-curriculum

   I see your name every time Apple are mentioned, did they hurt you or something? If you don’t want to buy their gear that is fine but this crusade you’re on is boring.

   Currently sat in my home-office, mid British heatwave, and my trashcan Mac Pro has been the primary noise for days; I wish I needed this.

   I added motion sensors to most rooms in my house about a year ago and I’m surprised how much of a quality of life upgrade they have been, maybe give that a shot. It all passes the wife-test too!

   I am a native speaker, and we are being far more than “identified” by these invasions. Why should Apple be using softer, less accurate, English to protect the likes of Facebook? This is not something to sugar coat, it is something to call o

    They’re not the same, but I’m more curious how you managed to miss the pages of outraged comments here on every thread pertaining to AirTags (for extra fun you can also check the outrage in the thread where Apple announced they were giving

    I did this to a bunch of companies a while ago now, the results were incredibly boring with the exception of eBay who delivered the data by posting a USB drive to my house.

    Am I missing something or do none of these links even mention AWS? I’m also unsure how the explicit trust from the government (“consider that govcloud exists”) is somehow evidence for their untrustworthiness?

    I follow Simon on Twitter and discovered his TIL site a few weeks ago -- it has to be one of the best things I've found on the internet in a long time. Refreshingly useful and personal, if you're reading this: thank you Simon!

    Ah, memories! Later in the 90s they (who?) introduced a new automated service which I think was called “0800 REVERSE”. The beauty of it being automated was you could quickly give the required message in full, or even the number of the payph
