For telecom, at least, governments have legislated against Huawei equipment, Nokia is going strong from a European side

By credit card, it's quite useful for the reward points - I'm fairly sure it was MC and Visa only (no AMEX) last time I did it, though that may change with this new payment provide…

Depends on the tax - I pay my vehicle tax through the gov.uk website!

A lot of the app compatibility issues on current machines are down to Qualcomm's poor drivers - the actual core bits are mostly okay.

That's what makes domains true FQDNs :) I read an interesting blog article on this a while back: https://lacot.org/blog/2024/10/29/the-trailing-dot-in-domain...

I agree, I quite liked Ostriv (I tend to play a fair few city builders) - definitely felt a lot more 'in-depth' on certain parts than, say, Foundation (which has more systems, but …

The Defunctland video on the history of the Fast Pass is also definitely worth a watch! The part where he runs a massive simulation is very much up the typical HN-user's street

Amazon doing dodgy things with PC parts is why I will no longer purchase them from there - I'll happily take the extra £10-20 hit to buy it from another "proper" retailer (ie, Scan…

I've used basically every Windows on Arm machine - I actually quite like my X Elite ThinkPad T14s Gen6, compared the the X13s - feels like they got everything right, that the X13s …

I've also had no issues with IPv6 on my Mikrotik router (RB5009) - I did have to set the MTU to 1280 because of some poor IPv6 implementations elsewhere for a stable connection, th…

There was a talk on this at Blendercon last year!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVn8wQ3tKxA

There is a wide variety, MHEV is quite popular here due to lack of home charging, as many people live in terraces, etc We have a selection of smaller popular hatchbacks with MHEV a…

I believe this is what STIR/SHAKEN was trying to do, however getting global adoption (which is what would be required) is where it fell over

Agreed - I went through a few past ones, and unfortunately it just felt like you had to be fairly familiar with US products, landmarks, etc I loved the concept, just not some of th…

In my recent experience renewing my UK passport, I found I was able to submit the image regardless of the complaining it gave, I just had to write a note as to why I thought the im…

I am keeping an eye on the Ineos Fusilier ( https://ineosgrenadier.com/en/gb/news/introducing-the-ineos-... ) for something along those lines - it will have both a full EV and a ra…

I still manage to attend lots of LAN parties in the UK! The major one - several thousand - Insomnia (although I volunteer for that), and a host of smaller ones with a much more com…

Depends on when you interned! Before 2018 you would get a green badge as an intern, 2018 and onwards you got the same blue as everyone else, when they moved all the offices to GDAS…

HP's SUPD has support for ARM-based platforms, which I have found to work well on the more modern printers I have tried

Monogame, though it doesn't do much hand-holding: https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame Webassembly support is spotty, though in progress AFAICT. Used by a few 2D games like Stsrdew…

There is also Insomnia's smaller sibling LAN, "StratLAN" - captures the old school small LAN feeling a lot more!

> Do people still type "www."? From my experience, yes. I am getting merried next month - we have a wedding website via "with joy", which had a URL a bit too long to fit on our wed…

When I did my A-Level (UK exams taken at the end of 16-18) Computing exam, this is pretty much along the lines of what they did. Program source was released a month before the exam…

Also if people are interested in further speedrunning videos, I very highly recommend "Summoning Salt" on YouTube!

I got that and Moonlight mixed up, my bad :) message edited
