I'm in leeds and pay £30 a month for 1gig with virgin. You sould move house. Get better broadband.

As long as you have adblockers, what does it matter? I get the "no clicks" kind of protest, but that only works if they're able to serve ads. If you remove the ads, then they're not getting the impression, which ultimately means they're paying for you to visit the site.

I have the pixel 7, and I have found that not having any friends, and surfing the net on other devices really helps the battery to last 2 days!

Labour's authoritarian streak is slightly more than the tories. Only sightly, mind. Labour have zero intention of stopping or (if it goes through - it still needs to go through the Lords yet, and as I understand it, they're not as keen) if it goes into law: removing it.

That welfare budget is a load of of shit, too. If you have a look at the actual breakdown, most goes on housing (read: private landlords) and(!) pensions.

Some crafty fucker in the dwp had the genius idea of splitting up state and civil service pensions, placing civil service pensions under the welfare group to make the welfare bill higher. Out of the welfare budget I think only 5% of that goes on the unemployed. Out of that 5% only 1% of that 5% figure goes to the long term unemployed. (Being on the dole >6months). Yet they only bang on shit the feckless and workshy...

Shouting at it will solve the remaining 2.3% of edge cases.

Have you tried turning it off, and then turning it on again? This fixes 97.8% of problems

That's how I read it too. It's not "look how well I'm doing without a smart phone", it's more like "I don't want a phone, but have no issues placing the burden of my actions on others"

It's not him that gets consequences of a leaked number.

In my experience those posts are full of comments like " had my brother printer coming up 200 years, they're solid!"

Thats all very well and good for line of printers brother were selling 200 years ago, but what are they like now? I have heard everything from "they're essentially the same" to "brother has sold out" so now I don't know what to think, and £500 is a lot to drop on something they might just be as bad as HP or Epsom.
