  • I'm quite intrigued as to what our modern world would look with corporation's - what? - assets? - capped at $999 milion. It costs about $120m to build a single container ship, a Boeing 737-700 costs about $89m, Amazon set aside $1bn to film its Lord of the Ring series.

    Probably the end of multi-nationals, I guess. Interesting

  • Don’t play dumb.

    The irony is strong in this one. But if you really want to believe that intelligent agencies don’t work covertly overseas, I’ll leave you to it.

  • Alcohols cultural and historical position in society

  • My neighbour has it. She was a live wire teacher in her early 39s, fit healthy, joined us on on Parkrun every week. Still suffering, working half days.

  • Because clearly a secret service of one country could never infiltrate FedEx’s distribution depot in another.

  • If I’m (say) the UK intelligence service and I want to spy on (rolls dice) a group of people in Switzerland- it much easier for me to intercept their packages and patch them in transit then having to talk to Apple.

  • Or send, you know - a text message

  • I’m sure it’s fool-proof and no state-level actor will ever find a way around it

  • Apple are much much smarter than me, so I'm sure have mitigated against this, but this feels like a securirty nightmare waiting to happen:

    Bad guy gets hold of the technology, works out an exploit to send unofficial update and then "patches" a containership full of iPhones.

  • When it comes to page layout it can't even wrap text around an image. Almost any WP is better

  • Yup I have solar panels and a 5kWh battery. The panels don't do much in the winter, but the batteries have proved their worth with the tariff. I have a few other automations like the immersion heater coming on when prices go negative

  • I’m on Octopus Agile. They were paying me to use electricity the other day

  • I use Canva at work and generally find it absolute crap

  • Interesting. I’ve used it in UK, Australia and France and have found it by far the most accurate compared with BBC Weather or the Met Office app. If I’m camping and it tells me it’s going to rain in 10 minutes it’s worth listening to

  • No, you made an absolute assertion. I questioned it. You’re now saying “dunno”

  • Thanks for a good answer. My opinion of the weather app is it’s pretty awesome, however
