    I still have a Cobalt CacheRaQ (caching proxy server) and a Cobalt VelociRaptor (Firewall) (the blue Cobalt branded one from before they became Symantec products).

    Same here in Denmark. Maybe it is easier due to a flat company structure, and micro-managment being less common. It is not expected or even tolerated by workers, who will just jump…

    Doesn't work on all phones, like my Pixel 4. That was a big surprise. There is no way to connect anything else but BT.

    The recent issues did not have renewable energy as the main cause. Fox News is entertainment, not news (by their own claim).

    I have lost a few save-games, so I can relate. In my case it was because I forgot about them or the fact that, I did care if they were lost (I rarely game at all). I have an "offli…

    I don't have any annoying router or CPE from my ISP. Just fibre to the basement and an ethernet plug in the wall in my apartment providing 1Gb Internet access. So I have a few Edge…
