When will we see the stats?

Firefox starts and one click gets you to the turn off AI page.

When will we see what % of users took that option?

Windows Update still resetting things

We have a Windows 10 box, running some VMs, where we run update once a month, which we did on Monday night.

By mid morning on Tuesday we were getting numerus reports from people dependent on the various VMs that they were being kicked off but could get stright back in

We looked in and things OK. Looking at the logs, Windows 10 was going to Sleep every 20 mins. So running the latest Windows update re-enabled Sleep function.

Why can't they just leave setting set?

Typical Govenmental Behaviour

Council Planing Inspector visits your building and says you don't comply with regs, but won't tell you what you need to do to become complyant.

EU Invents a number and expects countries / companys to pay without any acurate explination of how they got to that figure

When only companies are blamed it keeps happening again & again & again

Until individuals know that they could get caught and personally suffer, rather than hide behind "corporate responsibility" where only the shareholders loose some will keep doing bad things.

Would the banking crises of happened if traders had money taken from then when decisions they had made when bad and it was shown that it was a fiddle?

PPE somebodies decided selling polies nobody could claim on was a good idea and they still have their bonuses.

Fiddling the results to get your car through emissions test or your plane in the sky, would you have done it if you thought you would go to jail for 20 years?

And if it wasn't you save your skin and grass on the person who made you do it.

If you want iffy accounts to pass audit get the big big boys as auditors

Here is another case where you want your accounts to "pass" an audit get one of the big boys to sign them off. The situation is so bad the govenment is actualy changing / looking to change the law, what good that will do who knows.

It nice to see one of them paying for their incompedence / frudulent activity.

Who still uses a 5 year old "smartphone"

Phones are getting better but how many 5 year old phones are actualy out their still working?

In the days of the Nokia Communicator and when smartphones had a physical keyboard, very few of mine reached their 2nd birthday. Now with no moving parts they last longer but with battery life / broken screens / higher hardware requiremants to be usable. Who actualy uses a 5 year old phone as their main everyday phone?

Good way to save money

Shortly we will have had over a year of online courses being given. So that should be years 1, 2 & 3 s lectures all recorded and avalable for veiwing. Now just stop paying the lectures, and make the courses cheaper.

Measuring Course work: Use the aproch of one of my lectures in the days when we wrote ink on paper - the thicker the submision the higher the mark.

He didn't read them as even if you skim them you would see your name, and one of my class mates in the the middle of an essay wrote "Professer Wragg you don't read these do you" - no comment.

Numbers Ported to VoIP still not safe

You would think if you had ported your numbers to VoIP they would have been safe. But as the BT exchange still takes the first part of the incomming call our customers lost their numbers they had ported away from BT.

Is there way to escape BT?

Windows 7 still servising customers in Sainsburys Cheltenham

Just walking out of Sainsburies Cheltenam and I see the Wndows 7 flag flying on the PC a the customer services desk.

It is all trade war.

America’s issues with Huawei & 5G is much more about it’s trade war with China than security.

It is data that is going to be using this network, data (much to the spies annoyance) is now end to end encrypted so what ever network it goes over it is “secure”.

So all the network manufacturer could do is shut it down. How they would sneak that access in, would be interesting with scrutiny their kit is receiving.

The only insecure is standard VoIP voice traffic, so anyone can listen into a VoIP call, and they don’t have to be the manufacture of the network to do that.

To get the data, you need to get the phone, hence the fuss with Mr Amazon’s phone or Mrs. Merkel getting hacked.

There are only a handfull of 5G newtwork manufatures, get rid of the cheap (high quality) Chinese, and we all pay more.

Where are most phones made? In China, so let ban all phones made in China, and thus make all phones so expensive nobody can afford them, an then we will be secure.

They still haven't learnt.

The new boss's priority is to to get the MAX flying again.

How about actualy put safty first, not planes out of the door?

How about remove the software that makes it feel like a normal 737 and get it feeling like a different plane and get that new plane properly tested?

Don't give the money to BT

Round here GigaClear have been doing a great job connecting villages BT didn't want & I have 1000Mb/s connecton for £70

They where doing without the extra cash, why give BT more cash when others do it for less £££

One of the 3231

Being one of the 3231 who downloaded the app for my wife, she has an Android phone but no NFC chip, putting her phone in the same catergry as Apple owners, the hardest thing was getting my phone to find the chip in her passport.

Being organised I had also got her on the previous scheme where she proved she had been working here for over 5 years and she got a residency card, I am now told that no longer counts.

I know govenment officials only see what they want to, so I have worked on the jump through the hoops before they stop you at the airport & say you can't come back in, you don't have correct paperwork. Get it before the rush.

Now how do I get one of those visit Europe Visas?

White Boys can't shoot basketball?

What more of the vidieo https://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/7663121/813762f0/niet_lang_genoeg_om_te_basketballen.html

Why is the only back robot the one who can make the shot?

What cost per recruit?

The only number i see is 1.3bn, & it would be nice to see the numbers but the Army is 80,000 strong, say they need 10,000 a year and this is a 10 year contract.

That is 1.3bn foe 0.1m or £13,000 to recrute each person. Why not save the money on the over heads (oh silly me the is the MoD) and just advertise a £10,000 bonus you can collect after 5 years service?

Stop 5G

Don't waste money on 5G kit, just get 100% 3G coverage through out the UK if you want happy customers.

Try keeping a call on a train or in pub in the country with stone walls.

Why so long? & BT is toast

Living in a Cotswold village BT gave up on FTTC for us so Gigaclear cabled us and I now pay £70 per montth for 1Gb up & down. Considering the villages in the middle of nowhere that now have this service which has come from BT saying F-You to FTTP in under 3 years, why so long for you city folk to catch up?

BT is now toast their hosted service is 3 times that of others, they wont let you connect to their SIP trunks unless you buy their overpriced hadware, now the Internet backbone is going to be provided by others, what will they do?

They are getting out of PSTN - so they don't need so many people

The market is moving to VoIP, so bussness & residental only need an Internet connection - 1 per customer. No switching voice at the exchanges, no income from phone calls, so they need less people.

But you can garentee the ones that go will be the ones who know how things work & how to get things done.

Project Fear is still alive and well at camp remoan.

In all these stories just substitute US for EU and you see what rubbish it is,

We are at the top table with the US for spying on people, and we are not part of the north american trade alliance.

The EU & UK will still find a way to share info outside any currently being negotiated stitch up where we keep paying our money to subsidise life in Eastern Europe.

All products have a support life

All products have a support life, after that it's tough.

But we have to keep using "x" as "y" will only work on that.

Possibly you should have made a better choice than "y" or ensured it would run in a broader environment.

How much only works in IE or IE6?
