Broadly? I thinks that's a very American centric perspective. About the last system of justice I'd like to find myself at the mercy of outside those in totalitarian countries is the American one. It has earned itself an awful reputation, in Europe, at least. It's such a shame that countries like the UK appear to be behaving like client states of America.

I'm exactly on 93% too, I'm am going to clean out my Google drive which is full of stuff I could put elsewhere and will give me another few years. It's about time they increased their limit from 15GB though!

Tesco give you an effective 1% discount on some future purchases for using their clubcard at the checkout, that's provided you use the coupons they send you periodically before they expire. I prefer to do as little shopping as possible there and instead shop at the far cheaper German discounter Lidl down the road. They don't have any of that loyalty crap.

Can't imagine confusing orange with yellow. Do you know what the general consensus is on the color?

Same reason high visibility jackets are I presume. I always think they're green but others tell me they're yellow. I have normal color vision as do at least some of the people who see them differently

I'm using them for years as a form of backup. Very reasonable priced, works flawlessly for me though I mainly use as a form of backup for a synced folder. GDPR compliant.

I remember being called by someone to whom we'd sent a trial installation CD, this was in the days before remote desktop software. They didn't know how to insert a CD and were defensive with it Why can't you make it easy for normal people?

I think most people get it that prize is twice as likely to be behind one of the two other doors rather than behind the door you pick. So one time out of three you'll get it right while two times out of three the presenter indirectly indicates the winning door.

Edit. Be nice if my downvoter would explain what's wrong with the above.
