I’m remembering, I’ve wanted a NAS for ages to replace my WD Book backup drive.

The sad reality is any major corporation is capable of this, they need the profits to keep rising, even if they screw over their employees and customers in the process.

“Hey, sorry I sunk your boat, we were playing a game and it kinda got out of fin tip”

These come with EU Green Deal grant money lobbied for by the fossil fuel industry, in a desperate attempt to continue petroleum based hydrogen production.

The investigation relates to how MediaLab’s Imgur social media platform uses children’s information and its approach to age assurance.

This makes it sound like they just don’t make sure users are over 18 sufficiently. If it’s not the OSA, then at least part of the decision will still have been not wanting to get caught out by the OSA.

Either way this government is unwilling to reverse any of these authoritarian Tory policies and is slowly killing the internet.

Fixed the headline: “YouTube agrees to pay Trump $24.5 million bribe using the ‘lawsuit loophole’ to the emoluments clause of the constitution”

Hypx! You’re back!

I missed your oil lobby talking points, still pushing hydrogen in the year of the production Sodium battery?

Is there a point where you will accept that Hydrogen is only going to be useful in the most nichey of niche of applications?

Instead of the telescreens it would be the BritCard App, constantly recording audio and video, alerting citizens when it’s time for their “Two Minutes Hate”, and regular unskippable announcements from Big Brother (probably Nigel Farage)

George Orwell’s 1984 - set in 2034 London, you wouldn’t have to use much imagination to be honest, it’s basically writing itself.

The petition is titled “Do not introduce Digital ID cards”

Sounds like a demand to me.

Yes, but that was part of the Tory election manifesto, so no petition was going to outweigh that one.

This was not mentioned at all in the Labour manifesto, or really before this week.

I signed this 12 hours ago and still have not had the confirmation email… so I suspect there are many more signatures to come,and it’s over 2mil now

Right there with you, and Brexit and other countless petitions… I’m going to speak to my MP next weekend about this and the OSA.

Hopefully there is enough backlash to put them in their place.

We got rid of almost all of the hereditary ones, I think we are down to 90 out of ~800. So while they are not all gone it’s getting better, now we just need to sort out the “cash for peerage” lords. Having a second chamber to sanity check the parliament is not a bad idea, as long as they are genuine experts granted peerage after a lifetime of service to the country or their field.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a petition make any difference, but it’s over 1.8 million now and getting 30k+ per hour… and this is just at the announcement stage. That’s 3% of the population actually bothering to sign up and click the email link in the 1st 24 hours. If they ignore this then they are telling us that the will of the people can be ignored, and only direct action will change their minds.

TLDR: this was solar mirror collectors, that heated central water towers to run steam generators. Solar PV is far more efficient and now much cheaper.

Ending investment on failed technology and instead investing in solar PV is a good decision.

And governments… I’m in the UK and waiting for Microsoft, Discord etc to ask me for my passport before I sign in.

That’s fair enough, I had a headphone to lightening adapter permanently plugged into my headphones for about a year… I went through a pair of headphones about once every 2 years, the cable would get snagged on or trapped in something eventually. Had AirPods for 5 years… I’d say in another year I’d probably be at the break-even point from an e-waste perspective, but I’d probably have to keep them for another 15 years to make up the price difference.

Would a USB-C to headphone Jack converter open up your options? You can buy one with usb pass through to charge and listen at the same time. I really wanted to keep my headphone jack but I’ve gone to Bluetooth and it’s pretty good tbh
