It would depend on what mood I'm in! Although if I forced to only pick one, it would be DS9

> You are, generally, supposed to put the new answer on the old question

If you're asking the question, you don't know the new answer.

If you're not asking the question, you don't know the answer needs updating as it is 15 years old and has an accepted answer, and you didn't see the new question as it was marked as a dupe.

Even if you add the updated answer, it will have no votes and so has a difficult battle to be noticed with the accepted answer, and all the other answers that have gathered votes over the years.

I won't hold my breath. It'll take 5 times longer than planned, cost 10 times more, won't do everything it originally set out to do, then won't work on the tech that everyone will have when finished, and a future government will decide they don't like it and will start over.

By default for me (in the UK) it still seems possible to view porn in a Google image search in an incognito browser tab. I don't think non technical parents can be expected to change their DNS settings to something safe to block it. I'm a bit unclear as to what the online safety bill is solving if Google can ignore it.

I would have suggested HumpAI if hump didn't have another meaning that might attract users you didn’t intend :)

I had assumed 'Flatten PDF' was to make the PDF smaller so just used it without thinking or comparing!

So do these collectors have the ability to play back these recordings? If so, could they at least make some recording (even if pointing a camera while playing back would be better than nothing) to send to the BBC. Otherwise if they have no means to play it back, I fail to understand why they'd not want the opportunity to watch their collection!

I remember using 'elm' for terminal based email back in the 1990s.

I'm guessing she was briefed to sensationalise everything to try and keep it exciting. It was too much for me, I mostly watched the much more calm chessnetwork stream instead

10 years ago I was put at risk of redundancy with the rest of my team. I was ultimately fortunate to keep my job and was told later I was never at risk, they just had to include the whole team for some HR reason. However due to the stress at the time both my mental health and physical health (IBS) hasn't been the same since.

I hadn't used a shell prior to 1993, looking back I'm amazed at how much I learned in my first few weeks using black. Fond memories of using elm for email, tinyfugue to connect to muds and writing my first web pages. I can't remember if it was black or sable that a small group of us crashed a few times with a deliberate fork() bomb. Not our proudest moment looking back!

I got the exciting job migrating Oracle Forms to Oracle Jet and learning new JavaScript stuff. Job now: Spend half my life having to rewrite everything since the Oracle Jet team constantly deprecate features, replacing them with some new "Looks the same but completely new API" feature that I then don't have time to learn

Software for the Agribusiness sector - mostly around the manufacture and selling of animal feed. So data entry, processing, interfacing, reporting. We had the legacy system which was a text terminal interface, as well as a newer browser based system that interfaced via webservices to the OpenVMS BASIC code. After 40 years it went end of life at the end of last year.

I spent 20+ years in my day job programming in BASIC on OpenVMS without using line numbers or GOTO's. Yet the first thing I did here was fall back to my childhood Sinclair/BBC BASIC of trying 10 PRINT "Hello" 20 GOTO 10

Perhaps Google just wanted to scare businesses on the legacy plan into migrating to the paid service, expecting that those who could afford to pay wouldn't leave it to the last minute.
