I used to subscribe to Linux format! I got the back issues on exactly/Exact Editions too, so for a while I could also view every issue on my android tablet. Those were the days.

I don't even know if Exactly is still around anymore.

Edit - nope, I was thinking of New Humanist magazine, oops. But I did used to get Linux Format through the door. I remember they used to have rackspace ads on the plastic weather cover

Yea, no. This is only considered 'work' if you're a physics teacher.

And quickly, before it's closed down.

Same for composer Ralph Vaughan-Williams. Since the last name starts with a 'f' sound, people think it's 'Ray Fiennes' or 'Ray Vaughan-Williams'. Granted Vaughan-Williams is a very niche example that most people would not have heard of.

I hope I'm not wrong in hyphenating his surname.

I was thinking Tom Scott or Auto Shenanigans

FUCK no. At least it's coming from truss, who is trying to be relevant. That's all. Anything with her name on it is doomed to fail.

Am UK citizen living in US. Halp.

Send them.... Back?

Well, the design of the plug also implies the design of the socket. I was born in the eighties, and I've never seen an electrical socket without a switch, except for the appliance socket used for the cooker, which is behind where you install the appliance - the switch is higher up, above the countertop where it is accessible.

Basic extension trailing sockets don't, most of the time unless you buy a snazzy one. But it's by no means a recent development.

Tom Scott has a video all about the UK power outlet plug and socket and it's an engineering marvel. The switch is just one feature.

There, Grauniad. I fixed your copy for you.

Maybe nothing. It was dormant for years. When they wired it up they ruined its ability to ever rotate ever again. St John's Precinct had gone to shit and they have no money, so unless they can funnel their ridiculous cash cow of a car park into fixing it up and putting a restaurant back in there, I can't see anything happening in it.

There was a rumour about it being turned into a Weatherspoon's. I hope not.

I did the gallery tour last time I was there. That was nice. Maybe the owner can continue to operate tours, it could remain quite lucrative in the tourism season. Liverpool has no shortage of visitors. Just keep maintaining the lifts and it will take care of itself.

No, but it implies that the brand has attained a certain level of quality to the point where some rich pleb sponges have decided they rather like it. The papers want to know who's shirts you wear...

Yep, same with the-shitty ass Kaiser Permanente app, which itself is just a webview wrapper around the crappy kp.org website. I cannot screenshot my test results, or any other screen within the app, but I can go to the same-ass page in my browser and take my screenshot from the website.

+1 for PipePipe! I love it and it Just Works®. Quick updates too.

Yay. I just tried it and it works.

Depends. It was dogshit when it launched, but now I get over 100mbps down. I did have to relocate the wireless modem box they gave me, though. And of course, YMMV, as did mine at launch.

Correlation ≠ causation. Exactly. But it is an interesting connection. It won't make me better but I'll take less worse!

Don't put the headset on.
