Yes I can't look at it. It should be interesting though so I've bookmarked it to come back to. I'll use a browser plugin to 'fix' it if necessary.

Oh the agony of not being able to say the next thing when everyone’s waiting for you to speak. Right in the middle of what was supposed to be a great point - in my mind, at least. …

The Office for National Statistics shows a continual fall in the long term rate of theft for the UK since 1995. From around 11k incidents per year to around 4K. A steady decrease.

Apple Maps has replaced Google Maps for me. I’ve been trying to move away from Google and this has been an easy one. I don’t notice the difference most of the time. When I do, it’s…

If you use your own VPN to home then you can access everything on your home network without setting up port forwarding, if you have stuff like that. I used to but not these days. Y…

Sync to local storage, drag and drop, sync happens to other cloud.

There is always going to be major flux as new architectures are evolved until they are stable. If this was hidden, there would have been little input from outside Microsoft. While …

The RISC PC [1] was based on ARM but had a ‘guest processor’ slot which could be filled with an x86 chip amongst others. You could run Windows in a window on its own CPU. [1] https…
