    I assume it's also illegal as someone underage to access all the things protected by the age verification app. So we don't need the app then :-)

    2 MacOS VMs due to licencing. You can run as many VMs with other guest OSs as you want.

    Number 2 is what everyone else needs to do. It's so annoying being on a call and not being able to hear people because they have a cheap microphone, or use the one in their laptop.…

    The reason they do this is to have a low headline price, yet push you into upgrading more than just the RAM. Customers see the low 'starting from' price, but then get pushed into u…

    In my experience, power is the most common data center failure there is. Often it's the redundant systems that cause the failure.

    I've had lithotripsy and it certainly wasn't done under general anaesthetic. They just gave me painkillers and the procedure was fine. I was in and out very quickly - something lik…

    I told it to put spaces in between the letters - it managed that one. My exact prompt was: Text where each letter is separated by a space is not the same as the original text. By w…

    GDPR still applies in the UK. Most EU law was kept intact when the UK left the EU. The only difference is that the UK courts enforce it, and it applies to UK citizens. Maybe the US…

    The UK has retained almost all EU law, including GDPR. If GDPR is a problem in the EU, then why isn't it a problem in the UK given the law is identical?

    Googles pricing doesn't make sense when you compare it to themselves. Pixel 7a: $499 or £449. At current rates, the 7a works out cheaper in the UK - it should be £480 inc. VAT. Pix…

    The 1:1 at least had some rationale given UK VAT and greater expenses. But this is 50% more expensive ($499 is £399 at current rates). And why use different rates for the Fold than…

    US Price: $499 UK Price: £599 I get that technology companies don't just directly convert USD at the appropriate exchange rate, but this is ridiculous. Especially as the conversion…

    I believe they mean dedicated fibre as in a home fibre broadband connection. In the UK that can mean anything from VDSL to FTTH (thanks advertising watchdog!). These aren't being u…

    It heats the water tank, just as people heat their water tanks now in the summer. No difference really, except some of that energy is free to the homeowner.

    Modern thermostats are a bit better than simply turning the boiler on when cold, off when hot. They are Time Proportional & Integral (TPI) devices. Put simply, they 'learn' the cha…

    Not cool to post with a title slamming Cloudflare when you admit at the bottom of the post it may not be them. Until you are sure where the fault is, best not to start making accus…

    Don't smart thermostats take into account how long it takes to change temperature? Mine certainly does. Since each building will have different properties, they effectively have ji…

    Welcome to the UK, where the Premier League matches are split between three different broadcasters. So there isn't even one place you can go and be sure of being able to watch your…

    It's an outdated term. I recommend reading Hans Rosling's book Factfulness where he addresses a lot of common misconceptions. If anything, it's fun to take the tests and compare wh…
