Just as no-one would begrudge a dominated race from poking fun at the dominant race, I don't see why you are so on your high horse about the dominant age group getting the same. 'Punching up' is fair game where I come from.

I'm afraid I just don't get your outrage at an innocent comment poking fun at the most dominant section of society. But, as you're the second person to have taken offence, I'm going to delete it anyway.

I could substitute it for child, another group of people who are broadly less likely to know where the setting is, and it wouldn't be offensive that way either.

That alone is a disgrace.

How many of those are there? I've never encountered more than maybe one or two. Even illegal premier league streaming sites don't mind adblockers.

Me too, ad blockers and all my media on Plex, etc. For me it's only when I watch live sport that I see adverts now, which I quite like, it's like a little window into what most other British people are seeing when they watch TV all week.

> iPad can't receive images over Bluetooth

Christ. We were sharing images over Bluetooth between mobile phones when I was a teenager in about 2005.

Revenue? The fine. Reputation? The outage.

Companies who host on AWS don't care that the retail arm abuses its market position, they care about reliability.

1 in 6 adults in the UK have poor literacy skills [0] so it's important for the Gov website to clearly give information to people who maybe don't have the best comprehension even in their native language, especially when it comes to government/legal matters.

I have a Giffgaff SIM for this reason. The expiry is 6 months and I have remembered to use it within that period so far. Not ideal but I would imagine you need a 2FA code more regularly than that.

I wonder if used with a smartphone (mine is in a dumb Nokia) whether you can automated a SMS send or outgoing call once every month or something?

Any company has to follow the law where they operate. Being an American-headquartered company doesn't really mean anything in this context.

That's really interesting and completely the opposite to here.

In London, most stolen bikes are expensive (or expensive-looking) and they are primarily resold within London.

We have had this level of professionalism in London for some time now. It's not necessarily true that you must ride an older, uglier bike, though this will work.

All that is needed is to be the least stealable bicycle in the rack. In my case this means two locks of different kinds. It's a big deterrent and they will move on to other, easier targets.

If you can avoid being the lowest hanging fruit, you will probably be alright.

It's wild. I believe the cup is somewhere between double espresso and Victorian teacup.

This is basically the case for every search I make now. Recipes, how to guides, DIY, programming, you name it. The SEO spammers have taken over the world.

I"m doing by bit for those lighting sockets, I've just had about eight or ten installed all around my house. Turning on lamps from the wall light switch as you enter a room is a massive quality of life upgrade.

I ride my bike like a Dutch person, which is to say I ride it everywhere. The infrastructure is getting better BUT I live in the borough of Waltham Forest which is miles ahead of anywhere else I have seen in the UK. Every main street has a separate bike lane and car driving is made to be deliberately painful. We affectionately call it Walthamsterdam in my house.

Yes, you're right, here is far better than the FT. Badly phrased on my part I think. If you have a subscription and aren't using github/iamadamdev/bypasspaywalls then you can block or mute individual users.
