I had some friends who would go on holiday and come back with VHS tapes with badly photocopied covers. The films were really bad quality as well. I was too young to understand what piracy was so I just thought that really bad videos were normal in the country to which they were going.

I read the article it says the lobbying organisation behind air con, etc, doesn’t actually want this. They’d rather investment went towards newer tech as supplies of the old materials are dwindling.

I don’t get this knee-jerk hate. He’s a big advocate for climate control. He’s preaches about is so much Parliament stopped reading his letters and inviting him in.

I honestly don’t know why we didn’t get more votes, I feel we’re closer to Europe now than when we were in the EU. When Trump had his eyes on Greenland we had their back.

Why are booking.com acting like it’s not their place to say where people can and cannot travel to? They’re settlements internationally recognised as being illegal, it’s basic handling stolen property.

I’m sure this is exactly what the public want from the Labour Party, more infighting.

The guy who created Father Ted is a massive right winger and probably supports Israel so not a perfect move.

Actually, after writing that I checked and he’s really annoyed by this, so maybe it’s a double win.

You have to be a real piece of shit to go against ParkRun. I think it’s one of the most wholesome things around. Just a bunch of volunteers get together to encourage people to get out and exercise with absolutely no judgment and nothing but good vibes. Even on Xitter they’re getting torn to shreds for this.

I’m English and I was driving through Europe and ended up in France. I was at a petrol station and when a new cashier opened up and everybody behind me in the queue just walked past me to the new. I was sort of stood there in shock waiting for someone to let me go in front of them before I suddenly remembered and I was like “Oh yeah, I’m in France”.

It’s no wonder it’s dead/dying. I’ve been searching for something on Google, DDG, and Kagi this morning. I just tried it on Ask and it was by far the worst results. Not relevant by miles.

This is why I cancelled Netflix. Spend an hour picking something, eventually settle on something you don’t really want to watch and just play in your phone.

Does anyone actually use eBay anymore? I just avoid it now unless I have no other choice. I don’t know of anyone who hasn’t had multiple terrible experiences and then said that eBay just didn’t give a shit.

I don’t really get this joke as I’m not a developer but does it have something to do with that thing where I try to search the site and it tells me it’s getting too many requests from my IP, even though I haven’t searched it in a month?

I expect they signalled their desire to be detonated by running away from the battlefield and the Russians kindly obliged.

I’m more of an Aldi guy but I’ll give Lidl a go. Here’s the link to the cloud company for those interested:

I work in cyber security and I have lots of smart home things. I also assume my network’s being compromised at all times and keep anything really important on paper in a safe.
