Yeah, I can see that from the photo.

MS is who they choose - I think its all bundled in with windows and azure and dynamics and office and that stuff. I think MS is trying to use their B2B OS deals to get some market share from AWS, so they're probably offering cheap deals for now.

MS doesn't allow 3rd party 2FA. They created a proprietary algorithm so no other apps can do it.

oops my memory failed.

It'd mostly be in 16s in the supermarket. So each pack is probably 2 days at the max dose.

It is probably just a video he's making about how to self-host a 3GW nuclear power station, so that you can self-host a hundred million raspberry pi cluster.

I think in UK paracetamol is sold over the counter in 28 x 500mg tablets most commonly. Larger packs or higher strengths are prescription only I think.

So 1 pack should last 3.5 days at the max adult dose of 8 per 24h - but I think it'd recommend seeing your doctor if you get into a second pack and you're still using that maximum dosage.

Generally shops will limit sales to 2 packs, but it's easy to shop around so that's no limit.

As of now, I find very few apps beneficial, convenient or time savers - maybe I'm a weirdo luddite. Most apps seem to be for pastimes anyway so saving time seems odd - I prefer to take time to savour my pastimes. I think mp3 player app, and organic maps are the real ones that I actually find useful.

But refusing GPS/microG and therefore Microsoft Authenticate will become a problem for me quite soon I think. For now a phonecall still works, but I think it's only a matter of time. Once that goes I might have to quit my job, and will struggle to find one in my field that doesn't require it, so I guess I'll have to look for less skilled work or retrain, and I'm far too old for that shit. That's where it'll get constraining, when the tentacles of bundling enwrap and bind many other aspects of real society.

I really hope the EU keeps on at MS for bundling and other market power abuse, it seems so obvious that they've effectively ignored the fines from the old Internet Exploder case, and ramped up their misbehaviour regardless.

Of course the twats where I live are easily radicalised against EU regulations (or any regulations really) , so I'm probably still fucked. But at least someone needs to stand up for consumer rights and competition and keep kicking MS in the balls every time they pull their dick out to fuck consumers. Ideally kick them harder and harder too, 'punitive damages' are more than justified due to them being a repeat offender.

Are there any flies buzzing around?

Oh, I know full well what a fucking spad is.

I just fucking hate them collectively, individually and linguistically.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Spads.

A appropriately ugly term. It conjures images of them being cut into long chunks and deep fried in oil. Either that or some archaic, non-PC term for a person with some mental deficiencies

exactly, democracy needs checking not just because of cronyism, but the fucking morons that keep getting elected by an ever diminishing share of the population. 1997 was the last time turnout was over 70%. In most UK general elections since then, the winner has not beaten abstentions. My 'protest' non-vote should count.

I'd like MP voting power should be scaled down somehow by actual vote share (including abstention), for many votes - maybe not some essential ones - but with the same absolute threshold to pass a vote. You'd probably have to do that at party level to avoid under-representing some constituencies. Hardly anyone trusts these fucks so their power to fuck things up should to be limited to when even more of them agree cross-party.

As for other layers, I'd quite like some sort of randomly changing jury based tier to rule on some things with cases and evidence presented like in a court. Probably with some sort anonymity layer - where some third party only knows the identities of the jurors.

Lords should maybe be "qualified expert" level tier - but it'll always get cronyist to some extent. That said if they're in as a supposed expert accountant, and they don't pay tax - they can fuck off. So the need for "expert" credentials could provide a basis for challenge. Certainly my random jury level tier could have the power to kick out lords if their credentials were challenged.

HM Senior Coroner for Lancashire Dr James Adeley:

"The current system for 'ensuring' drivers meet the visual legal standards is ineffective, unsafe and unfit to meet the needs of society as evidenced by the deaths of Marie Cunningham, Grace Foulds, Anne Ferguson and Peter Westwell where the DVLA continued to provide licences to drivers who had failed to meet the legal sight requirements."

Terry Wilcox, of Hudgell Solicitors, representing the families of Mrs Cunningham, Mrs Foulds and Mr Westwell, said loop holes that are available for drivers who want to evade reporting on their eyesight are "jaw-dropping".

Rob Heard, chairman of the Older Drivers' Forum, warned that more people would die if changes were not made soon.
