Used to like Dvoraks articles and Cranky Geeks back in the day.
Unfortunately he joined up with 'v-jay' Adam Curry to do a podcast. That show is basically Alex Jones lite. For example laughing about the white supremacist terrorist killing of Heather Heyer, edge lording it didn't happen, "Crisis actors" etc.
I don't think this works on Windows 11 Home (or or perhaps in S mode). I have set up a desktop this year where it did work, then more recently I set up two Laptops in S mode where it didn't and I had to follow other instructions.
For that I had to create a microsoft account. I could then create a local account, and delete the microsoft account.
Which frankly is terrible. It has pushed me to now make Linux Mint my main personal OS. I've been using windows and been a fan of Visual Studio for decades.
There is an episode of the "you're wrong about" podcast, that discusses homelessness. In that episode there are several discussion about several projects in California around homelessness. Those projects provided housing. The studies based on those projects showed that overall the cost was less that not having some housing and services. The podcast goes into more details, but as I remember this was because
* It removes much of the medical and police cost
* If people who are struggling don't have a roof over their head, it makes it incredibly hard for them to get a job. Having some stability meant that many could pick them selves up and get a job and so forth.
The end of the episode points out even though the programs were a success by most metrics - including being cheaper overall to tax payers - they were shut down.
> The largely unspoken kernel of this writer’s argument is that Curtis is wrong.
What I'd like to see is some concrete examples of things Adam Curtis gets wrong.
Unfortunately the article referenced doesn't appear to have the goods, and the crux of it appears to be a critique of the style. I like the style. It's accessible. It's interesting. It's engaging. Which was his intent as he has discussed in interviews.
So the majority of trade was/is/likely to remain with the EU?
Perhaps I should clarify on the EU law point. I made the point that most EU laws were copied, but the trade point was not about laws in the Uk. It's that UK companies will and do voluntarily comply with EU laws. They do that so they can continue to trade with the EU - the Uks largest trading partner. Moreover previously the Uk had a large seat at the table in deciding such EU laws. Now the Uk largely complies either by law or by necessity to trade with laws it doesn't even have a say in.
On bendy bananas, it also turns out...
> EU ‘bendy bananas’ regulation to remain despite Brexit
Not that this is some huge deal. It's just another (somewhat amusing) data point in a project that doesn't appear to have any significant tangible benefit.
Moreover I'd claim it isn't going to get much better, because how can it? The UK made trade much harder with it's main trading partner.
This. The Uk copied large amounts of EU law verbatim.
That is not a blip due only having recently left. It's due to their main trading partner is the EU and it will remain the EU. To trade with the EU you have to follow EU laws.
I'm afraid the bendy bananas was all FUD. And the "benefit" was chlorinated chickens.
I use an old ipad2 as a music controller. I have my music stored on a [subsonic server](http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp), and then use one of the subsonic player apps on my ipad, connecting to my old skool amp via a bluetooth adapter.

Ugh.
I would post the link to the episode, but don't want to give them any traffic.
