@SuperDicq I admit it should be upcycling

Re Microsoft win 10 machines.

Don't believe Microsoft

"because they can’t be upgraded to a supported OS there will not be the normal secondary market for those buying new hardware. This means there’s no boon for charities or other good causes, and instead this is a recycling or landfill choice.

This is criminal.

Recycle to Linux.

Every time I read "Lunar Lander", I get this in my head.

The 80's really did have an effect on me.

Building PCBs "on mass"

Frying tonight :)

@DeltaWye Yes, for the cost, its really good, low melting point solder of course.

Theory: Surface mount components are weighted, so they always fall value face downwards.

@neil so their website site is now in the high risk category due to hosting "offensive language"

ISPs should block them, to protect their users under the online safety act :)

Adobe reader has enabled the AI "leak your documents to their cloud feature" with ZERO warning.

They text my land line number, Which has an answering machine. Which then only records the last half of the message, so I don't know who or what it was for.

And I can only respond to the web address, no number given, which includes a 25 digit ID code which of course has ben read out and saved in the message. Chances of me typing this in correctly, zero.

If i ring them, they will have no idea what its about.

@evan Probably showing "developers" is a massively wide term these days.

Note to self don't setup txt only linux servers on 55" tvs

@MLE_online @fredy 11 busses on top of each other, or 11 busses side by side or 11 busses end to end /

Words to strike fear into any network engineer.

"The Electrician has wired up our cat 5 sockets, can you make them live."

I love Evri's web site

Says they have your parcel, and asks, If you aren't going to be in to change delivery.

Without actually telling you when they are going to deliver the parcel.

Ebay's car/engime parts sales push has gone a bit weird.

Seriously, these are from the same listing

WTAF!

Who would design a web site that doesn't populate the list of products, until you enter the quantity you require.

I mean, yes , as a filter, but give the end user a chance.

@trcwm @Dtl anyone got a trebochet?

@trcwm @Dtl trebuchet sourced...

Tell me you have been doing networking for a while, without telling me you have been doing networking for a while :)

In my network cabling box. (With the crimpers)
