re #7, I hope they are also saying no ‘secret questions’ to reset the password?

When your first notification about the change is a Mastodon post telling you to look for a pre-checked checkbox that wasn’t there before…

Previously.

That’s … even worse than the headline! Not only did the budget not include the £4000m yearly cost, it actually said that it expected -£230m (making money not spending money)

Wikipedia can also be useful to find software - e.g.:

• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_vector_graphics_editors
• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_integrated_development_environments
• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_audio_player_software

or look at the Wikipedia page for whatever you want to replace and see if it’s in a category such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Audio_editing_software_for_Linux

You can even do this with things that aren’t software, e.g. Homebase -> UK home improvement stores -> Screwfix.

This week’s Private Eye cover has Rishi singing to the tune of It’s coming home, “We’re coming third! We’re coming third!”

That, and hosting & domains got expensive. It used to be a trivial cost to have a website, now the prices are all “introductory offers” with asterisks.

Once several different instances have downloaded the same video, they could share information on which segments are the same?

Ads would change for each download based on all the factors used in the automated ad auctions.

Had a “pay as you go” contract since 1997 (not with T) - they told everyone that you need a new SIM for a network upgrade which required deactivating the original SIM. New SIM didn’t work in normal (Nokia 1110) phones. Then they sent SMS saying that they weren’t going to honour the original PAYG phone contracts.

In English is this why we say fifteen instead of tentyfive?

Can you add a banknote or EURion symbol somewhere to dissuade image-processing software?

Arguably that may be related - cryptocurrency people needed a new thing to prop up their Nvidia shares, and “AI” fills that niche.

Does the US only spend double per capita than we do? I thought cost was an order of magnitude worse in their private healthcare.
