I'm assuming it is quite nice, but terrible adverts popping up all over the place and distracting from the overall experience, so I only skimmed through it before I closed the wind…

My last tablet was a Nexus 7, so I wouldn’t know ;) But on a more serious note yes, I agree with you. Tablets - absolutely great for the use cases you mentioned, for everything els…

Maybe. When a decent Chromebook is £697 ( https://www.johnlewis.com/lenovo-chromebook-14m9610-laptop-m... ) it doesn't make economic sense to get one.

I wonder if Apple is positioning these to counter Google's Chromebooks? The pricing makes sense, especially as lately I've seen some pretty expensive Chrome devices: £500 - £700...…

Currently working my way through Melvyn Bragg's back catalogue of In Our Time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl/episodes/player Also from the BBC, the 13 Minutes series (?…

I have no idea why you’re being downvoted, since what you say is objectively true.

Bizarrely when I do that it tells me “uBO Lite is not supported by this version of Safari”. On an iPhone 13 with the latest version of iOS. I’m very new to the Apple ecosystem so i…

That's genuinely awesome! I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time! I don't have a background in coding, rather I'm just a humble engineering tech but this sound…

This was talked about on here just last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42999044

Sadly Libgen seems to have been down for the past couple of months, there is some discussion whether it will ever come back or not.

That exactly what I was going to say: what makes him think that a HDD bought in 2013 and buried in a landfill site since then will work when its plugged in? Personally I have my do…

In my case, out of nostalgia for the Google of old. I paid for a Pixel phone and was very unimpressed with the experience, so much so that after a lifetime on Android I went and bo…

That was my experience as well. Generally speaking the Pixel 7a is a competent phone with one (big) flaw. The battery life is truly terrible, and the charging speeds are glacial. I…

I do as well, which is why when I went to Athens for two weeks last September, I very much looked forward to lots of smoky old orthodox churches. Alas, it wasn't to be: the vast ma…

That's very true. Luckily I am not, and so I can enjoy cheese in all its forms. As to whether it's "good for you" or not... I suspect moderation is the key word here.

NATO was quite happy to bomb Serbia and Libya, to name but two.

As somebody who has lived in that neck of the woods, I would want nuclear weapons and war in general to stay very, very far from my shores. Equally I would want the current combata…

Yes.

...having a bath with water warmed on the stove in huge pans. Equally good memories :)

The hot water was "scheduled" - usually twice a day. I don't remember that well as I was quite young at the time, but I think I was meant to be on for a couple of hours in the morn…

Technically you don't need a degree to be an officer in the UK: you only need A Levels (finish high school) to go to Sandhurst and begin officer training. In reality however someth…

UK: England

Your experience sounds similar to ours. We're an engineering company in the UK; in better days we paid £3,000 for 1,000 chips. Today we paid £58,000 for the same amount.

(To quote Speer: "I didn't know, I could have known, I should have known." He's been vilified but I haven't seen anything to paint him as a liar as far as this is concerned.) Read …
