Pricing section of your website has no prices, I'd suggest calling that section something else.

I watched a video where a guy asked people how many moons the earth has, the person on the video said seven. I am not surprised in any way the script had huge success.

It is great and should be celebrated. For me the big win is no longer having to hand over high-way robbery amounts of money for the Heathrow express. Having a better and cheaper service to Heathrow terminals is brilliant. Byeeeee Heathrow express!

I have pretty much this existing setup. One thing I'd add is that it's quite noisy. If you have somewhere you can put it, and your house is all cat 6'ed up then great. But if like me you have it in the same room as you, you wil notice it. And it's not the pc, the fractal case has very quite 120mm fans, it's the HDDs.

I remember being on a stand next to SGI at E3 in 1997. They had a giant black truck in the arena like the one that Knight Rider drove into. They were selling these machines that looked way more powerful and expensive than anything the games industry could afford. People at the show were mainly debating when and if Intel could release a 1ghz processor. Stange what you remember.

Don't worry Bill, this becomes a mere twinkle in the night sky when you realise you missed 'the internet'.

I went for an interview once at a hedge fund. There were a surprising amount of questions about web scraping. I very much got the feeling it was an active and ongoing problem. So yes I do think there’s a business in there.

At this point I feel unsurpringly betrayed. As others have pointed out there is no going back. With little to no visibility on what the phone, the ipad, the mac-mini is doing, are they safe? I hear there's no device level scanning, has that been confirmed by someone other than Apple?

What are you guys also doing? Is there a website that helpfully details how to get yourself out of the eco system?

I can tell you what I have done so far, but it's very much work in progress.

- Removed all photos from iCloud and turn off all iCloud stuff.

- Backup up phones to my mac (encrypted), will transfer to nextcloud and NAS.

- Built a NAS and now storing photos there - looking at. running PhotoPrism, but haven't made that work yet.

- Transfered useful cloudstuff to Hetzner's NextCloud hosted. and enabled E2EE on certain folders.

- I use NordVPN but I always have done.

I realise it's a lot of effort to go to so I can privately store a pictures of me eating an ice cream in Rome ... but as we all know that's not really the point.

Is there a credible open source version of G-suite that you could drop onto a self hosted VM (similar to how you might host GitLab)?

It would offer email, photos, and office. Would also receive all the necessary security updates.

There has to be a business in there as gitlab seem to have done quite well with this model.

Then we could all move to that.

There’s an increasing groundswell of trust in AMD and their Ryzen chip. It’s great news, I’ve owned one for two years now and it’s fab.

The new XBox will feature a custom Ryzen of some form. Who’s next, Apple?

Queue the market for Tesla hack garages where all upgrades can be turned on for £100.

I remember having ‘a go on the Internet’ round my friends house in the early nineties. He said go on type anything you want to know about.

So I searched for ‘Amiga games’. It came back with a screen full of junk.

I looked at my friend and said ‘none of this has anything to do with Amiga games’.

He said no you need to ‘+computer’ ‘-Spanish’.

I said to him, ‘who’s crappy idea was this?’

Needless to say we all got better at booolean searches and Altavista was light years ahead of yahoo.

Google was a welcome change, made the internet a cool place for about 10 years.

I completely agree with this. It's a process that's practical, fair and scalable.

I'm currently interviewing and so far I have had a 48 hour weekend project, a 3 hour code assessment, and I'm expected to endure 3 days of interviews. I'm fairly close to throwing in the towel and saying I can't be arsed with this.
