I tried to go back to using an old but trusty iPhone 5 in 2018. I found that I couldn't get a signal in half the locations I used to get signals fine previously. Technology had marched on, and so had the mix of 2G, 3G and 4G bands.

Given that our beige computing boxes used to be out of date within two years, I'd say six years for a phone is good going. Time to get a new iPhone.

Our legal systems have already become like this. Only those with the knowledge on how to navigate the system or those qualified to interface in the expected protocols have any hope of achieving results.

Super-corporations are now just the next rung down, adopting all the habits of their superior, but without the responsibilities.

I do wonder if there is any overlap between the Culture novels and The Algebraist. I seem to remember mention of aHumans and rHumans in both -- a fascinating idea really.

Works perfectly on Mullvad Browser, Firefox and Safari. Remember: friends don't let friends use Chrome.

Hands down the best TV show I've ever seen, and so well matched with Max Richter's soundtrack. Very much looking forward to the last season.

I can't help but think the other parties would put forward better policies that don't alienate the electorate nor swathes of international business. Some would say the current conservative cabinet are the low-grade remnants of the recent party turmoil, and their policies demonstrate this. Unfortunately for us, they really have nothing to lose over the next year.

The current conservative government is on its last legs before being banished for at least a decade. It appears they already have their eyes on the lucrative private sector and are willing to vandalise the UK with little thought to public protest.

Any mention of Frontpage should come with a trigger warning! After all these years, I still haven't forgiven Microsoft.

"banished handguns so you can no longer protect yourself..."

I think this view has been quite comprehensively debunked by now. I for one do not want to live in a country where most people have access to handguns.

Field 6 "sharedfromaid": "aid of the sharer's Site/Secure Note" is unencrypted. The hackers will be able to infer relationships between Lastpass users.

Field 10: "genpw": "Is an auto-saved generated password". Good for deciding whether to brute force or not.

Yikes. I can't imagine why anyone would trust Lastpass after this.
