It’s called “perpetual” but obviously, it’s capped at a certain very reasonable limit.

An AI trained on old Internet material would be like a synthetic Grandpa Simpson:

“In my day we said ‘all your base’ and laughed all day long, because it took all day to download the video.”

And how about archive.org ?

I had a Kia Rio. They sent out a safety recall warning that an ABS leak could cause a short and it could catch fire (this is after the big problem of them being easy to steal).

They’re was no fix at the time. The only advice on the recall was “avoid parking near structures” in case it set fire to buildings.

Months later the fix was available: a smaller fuse that would blow before the short got hot enough to burn.

Imagine Software had made a name for itself, too. It was reasonable to see that name and expect some quality.

Phones used to have a round charger socket, a USB socket that could also be used to charge, plus the headphone socket and SD card slot. I’m sure they could have found room for both USB C and Lightning, with all the other things that were removed.

Why not the black ones?

The IT Crowd is boosted by having a quote that’s genuinely a best first-response to IT problems.

Thanks very much. I’ve been using veracrypt for years, it’s good to know that I have another option (especially to simplify things for family members).

But that’s not the case for Windows Home, is it? The FDE setting just takes me to a page to upgrade to Pro. My laptop does have TPM.

Ooh, I’ve thought of one: a helium balloon. Imagine the tension as he occasionally forgets to hold the string!

Can I just suggest that to mix things up a bit, this one should be set on a peninsula.

The older fingerprint readers that were on the back or below the screen worked perfectly and near-instantly (I’ve used several Nexus, Pixel and Moto phones).

At least some of the newer in-screen readers are slow and unreliable. I’ve heard that the ultrasonic ones are better.

Never buy from a seller with a name that could be an airline bookinng reference.

I bought a PC kit and it said “some assembly required” so I always try to link at least one asm file in my projects.

I’ve seen a collection plate with a tap-to-pay terminal so that would make it more difficult.

It says “crowdsourced traffic” so maybe they want lots of users to gather traffic data from.

The FAQ says that it requires an Internet connection.

It also mentions e2ee, which isn’t too reassuring when one of the ends is their servers.

The “get shared and with whom” link in that article has “how to opt out” information.
