Yes, if they're not protecting the outside then what are they not doing on the inside

I know where you're coming from, I have an 8 month old. I work from home so I tend to find I'm doing various stuff for the baby like changing nappies or doing the washing. So when it's interrupting my work I get annoyed. I then stop work at the end of the day then I've still got baby stuff to do. Also there is the weekend where I need to do DIY or other chores. So there is the frustration. But now it's holiday season it's not really an issue as it's not disrupting my work and I do get a break unlike the normal working week.

As an England fan, I didn't think they were that good against us, England were the better side who just couldn't convert. The ref helped them a lot, their first goal came after they fouled an England player and they didn't even get the ball when doing so. Overall they don't actually look world cup winners playing us.

This article approaches the drugs for being used to treat depression. I am on 2 anti depressants and not because I have depression. I take Fluoxetine in the morning to help with my foggy head due to fibromyalgia. I then take Amitriptyline in the evening to help with chronic pain so I can get to sleep.

A lot of drugs are licensed to treat X but doctors will use them to treat Y.

Still better than bitbucket

Where I live in the UK, they've converted multiple office blocks to student accommodation. They are also tearing down block of flats due to other structure issues. Generally it's easier to build housing on green field rather than brown sites due to contamination etc. Once you convert the office to housing, when you need office space you'll have to build it somewhere

Oh and I really think the government should just ride roughshod over local authorities and allow wind turbines, solar etc to just get built with minimum fuss. Hell I'd even say the government should own nuclear power stations and just have someone run them.

In the uk here,. I'm lucky that I don't have to often check my bank account to see the balance. But boy, I am not looking forward to the winter, the government is paralysed and doesn't seem to be doing anything, when the new PM start I don't expect things to get resolved. When I moved house I didn't even have any supplier options as no one was taking new customers, I didn't even get asked how I'd like to pay, I'm straight-up paying for the full usage each month. I have no idea how those on lower incomes are going to cope.

I don't think most manufacturers go out their way to make sure a part breaks down and it's cheaper to buy a new one. If I had something that broke after a year and can't be fixed, I certainly wouldn't buy that brand again for that item.

I think it's purely a trade off with doing its job and be cheap as possible but having a spare part available for it.

I remember reading somewhere about the cost of something in a VW engine bay, maybe an air intake box, they designed it to last X long,like the entire life span of the car, but it costs more to achieve, but it would have been cheaper to just design it for less life and if/when it did break you'd just replace the part and it's cheaper overall.

Surely with utility plans you can just use a mole? Dig a few trenches and just use a mole to go between them. No need to dig the entire length. I'm pretty sure this is what utility companies use in the Uk if they can't drag the utility through the existing duct/pipe. Imaging installing fibre to a neighbour and having to dig up every single pavement/road to do this.

Got one of these during my second year of uni. Couldn't afford a full blown laptop, this handled the job good enough for me. I was able to read class notes, do some coursework on it when the lab was full. Even got it run a LAMP stack for some coursework. I still have this in my loft space, I just can't bare to get rid of devices.

In my view, someone from the uk, they generally buy companies and strip as much money as they can out of the company by selling bits off or they buy it and load it up with debt and then take as much money as they can out.

Reminds of another documentary where something similar happened in Greenwich. Or maybe it was this one...

To be honest I don't think many people will care about this. I think as a whole the car market will struggle and stagnant for the next couple of years. We're stuck in this shift to electric while brands start to reduce ICE options.

I've got a car on PCP which is due to finish, I'll be taking out a loan to finance the rest of it, normally I would look at upgrading, but I love my diesel and they no longer offer the engine for my model. So going for an electric vehicle is too expensive for me, I've got a baby, moved house, last thing I want to be doing is spending more on a car. I'm sure they are are many people out there who feel the same, now is not the time to get a new car.

I'd love an electric car, but it's just out of reach and lower down my priorities

I moved away from bitbucket to github to get away from these sort of issues.

I can remember when Gmail was first released, someone made an app that used Gmail as storage

While this is cool and handy, sadly not of any use to me.

According to Uk ICO (Information Commissioner Office) Fingerprinting has to have consent.

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/what-are-... "PECR also applies to ‘similar technologies’ like fingerprinting techniques. Therefore, unless an exemption applies, any use of device fingerprinting requires the provision of clear and comprehensive information as well as the consent of the user or subscriber."

TBH I don't see how azure is dead end, it's just another cloud provider. If someone told me they manage everything in azure then I wouldn't be worried about them coming to work on say AWS or GCP. If they know the concepts and know how to navigate a platform then jumping to another cloud provider isn't much of a big step.

Likewise C# has been around for a while, sure companies may move away from it, but it will always be used, but again someone who can do C# are probably in a good position to pick up another language as well.

I've got 2 AOC monitors (2369M + 2490W1), On my mid 2015 macbook pro I had no issues (apart from window server using all my resources when they were plugged in). I'm the new M1 Macbook pro(work laptop) I'm finding quite often I am getting small vertical bands on both monitors randomly, these are more noticeably when using dark themes. I've changed cables and colour profiles and not really fixed it. I've not had this with my old laptop or even my desktop pc.

I would swap them out for 4k displays but it's just too expensive for me. I have been using my glasses more to use my monitors thinking my eyesight is getting worse but it could just be the monitors...

I had this with my mid 2015 macbook pro. Window server would be using 40% of my resources when using 2 external displays.

Ugh. So they'll block this but the government allows the likes of private equity to buy companies who will then assert strip or load up the target with debt.

I've not read the article yet but I would assume if the battery could take the load, then having charge points where the infrastructure can handle the load and deliver it would be ideal. Like you say as long as you recharge overnight, it should be good for most People

I had a few issues for a few minutes but then it was fine. Still better than bitbucket, they'd have issues for hours and no status update, at least github acknowledges issues straight away unlike bitbucket.

Whats new? This has been going on for quite some time. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-united-tech-pratt-lawsuit...

The worst part of the story for me was the puppy. I couldn't care about her, but poor puppy

Even after this we had issues. Pull requests can take quite a while, diffs not working, git slow or timing out.

Bitbucket recently has shockingly poor reliability. Quite often you see nothing on the status page but see other people having issues on twitter. We've nearly migrated everything to github, plus github has better features and more powerful.

The scoping of pat currently are terrible. If I want a read only access token, the user needs to be read only, if I went write, user needs write permissions. This means I need 2 users

And with this, they are still better than bitbucket
