Sounds interesting. I'll take a look, thanks.

Yes, but then it's a bit hypocritical if we don't point out when something isn't globally-relevant just because it's Britain-relevant.

Very Britain-centric news; I wish c/worldnews were more specifically global relevant.

As for the article, it's a shame it doesn't address all of the 10 pledges and whether or not they're being honoured in current Labour policy.

It also doesn't do a very good job of analysing the pledges that it does include. Regarding income tax - is current Labour policy to not increase income tax on highest earners (or preferably, CGT/land value tax or something that more effectively targets the most wealthy)? The way the article quoted Reeves kind of felt a bit word twisty, but I'm not sure whether that was accidental or deliberate.

I primarily use DuckDuckGo now, but very occasionally I use google when I feel like DuckDuckGo hasn't come up with very good results.

(I also use Google when I need a word definition - I like the layout and ability to see synonyms quickly.)

Bing I don't use because I just can't stand the results page layout.

Any other recommendations?

I'd swap the flashlight for the body armour - easier to find a flashlight out and about.

Gunna have to experiment with this, however my PC is set up next to our sofa so the distances might not work out.

If by 'can' you mean 'place where shit goes' and by 'place where shit goes' you mean 'work', then yes.

Huh, that's interesting. That might be exactly the cause of the issue I was having with them (plugging in 2.4Ghz keyboards and mice into them).

Forget daisy-chaining. I gave up on finding a single decent USB hub, let alone connecting them together.

Yes - reductive and asinine of me. Sorry!

I am a long time fan, but the price is just too high to justify for me, unfortunately.

That's a premium tier price tag for less than premium tier service (in the sense of long patches of development silence).

Possibly? I was agreeing with you, I thought?

Good to see Australia completed unaffected by the tobacco lobby...

Yeah, protecting billionaires is the status quo. The fact they happen to be Israeli this time doesn't factor in.

Seems like she'd qualify under Category 2 of Arap, but I can't see any obvious details on the actual decision criteria they use.

Also on free version, also haven't seen a single ad.

However, this long absence that LJ is renowned for highlights the reason paying £100 is too steep for things like Ultra or whatever it's called.

I'm a Brit and I know exactly what they mean by a nike tech twink - and that's the first time I've ever heard the phrase.

And to repeat. You have no idea how the file system on android works. You most definitely can delete/backup/etc the photos, screenshots, etc on the phone via USB. You can not easily access app data as thats encrypted and stored elsewhere.

Not if the phone doesn't give permission to lol. I speak from personal experience of a Pixel 3a. Previously connected and all.

Nope. Had this happen with my wife's phone. Because developer mode had not been enabled previously and the screen was completely inactive, there was absolutely no way to wipe the phone.

Choice was either pay a stupid amount of money to get the screen repaired (and I've had a bad experience with screen repairs actually working) or bin the phone and hope that nobody bothers to try and fix and then gain access. :/
