I took the impractical option, but in fairness, only after all other options failed.

Guess you can’t change arseholes but you can sure as shit change houses.

Let’s hope my doomongering is just that, with other countries in Europe starting to swing that way I hope it’s not sign of the future.

An overwhelming majority by seats but only 33% of the popular vote.

36% voted Tory/Reform so voters have not shifted left but split the more right wing vote

I’m guessing the dog is 14

I think the Austin Allegro would like to challenge you for a car with absolutely zero redeeming qualities.

You could try https://2fas.com/ open source mobile application with browser extensions and cloud sync for backups.

Or www.bitwarden.com password manager is also open source and for a small “premium” supports 2FA for mobile/desktop/browser.

The only saving grace with Samsung washing machine was it had two years of warranty and after about the 6th repair in just over 14 months the retailer swapped ot for another brand.

Typing this on a S24 Ultra and have numerous tvs but will shy away from any elctro domestics in the future.

Pineapple and apple go well in pasta salads. Again not at the same time but the added sweetness and texture helps enhance the salad.

I had a similar issue with Mint on my Latitude 7480, ended up using Fedora where everything just seems to work.

Best advice I can suggest is always use a live USB because if something doesn’t work there it won’t after install either.

For Huawei , if that’s the case why did US not target all Chinese manufacturers and only the one that, at the time, was becoming the most technologically competitive one.

As for EV the argument regarding takeover as a wartime industry whilst maybe true not it still smacks of US protectionist practice rather than a genuine security fear.

They did the same to Huawei and lots followed. This has nothing to do with security and all to do with preventing China’s leap ahead of US as a global economic technology powerhouse

If I even tried to plug a USB into my laptop security would be down on top of me like a ton of the proverbial … the same way that the only true way to be secure is don’t plug into the internet the only way not to piss off corporate is don’t f*ck with their stuff.

Good to hear, I’ve not had any issues so far. The only “niggle” I’ve had is when pairing my Bluetooth devices I’ve needed to turn Bluetooth on and off for each pairing bit once done they’ve reconnected fine.

Thanks. Finally after Mint didn’t recognise my network adaptor I tried Manjaro (everything worked great, but I don’t think I’m ready for Arch) so ended up on Pop_OS … everything works so I’m going to stick with this for now.

My weekend project will be install mint for my first flurry into Linux.

I’m going to set it up for some light gaming and media streaming.

Running on a Dell Latitude 4980, long term hoping to learn enough to set up a home jellyfin server.

To each there own, but if your cousins up for it I’m game.

I have Disney+ until Jun when my annual subscription renews.

As they’ve decide to hike the price I won’t be renewing, for the little it’s used they can pull from other sources.

I’ll keep Netflix for the others in the house.
