I like them all bar the psychopaths. And if you’ve had a run on with one of those no explanation will be necessary

I bought a new small laptop for travel with Vista loaded on it, fairly highly spec’d for the size (4Gb RAM, dual core processor, 64bit etc). Mostly ran OK except for the constant UAC prompts, the weird file system but worst of all the Wifi which ran atrociously and would not connect without resetting the router… which is not doable on hotel or airport Wifi. Took it back and asked for it to be upgraded to XP which had been dead reliable on my home and other Wifi, went back and forth with it for months before I gave in and bought another small laptop with Windows 7 on it which ran flawlessly, Wifi included

How did they manage to do so spectacularly badly? I think part of the problem is that they were trying to predict times and locations, rather than focusing on individual offenders. Past record is highly predicitive of future behaviour, i.e. if an offender has committed assault half a dozen times, it is highly probable that they will commit another assault or similar violent offence again, we just dont know when or where. Poor quality data may also be part of it - garbage in, garbage out

Yeah I have a midrange Samsung A31, its more than adequate for my needs

The thing is, we dont generally needed the noisy table muted, we just need it reduced in volume enough at our own table so we are able to carry out a normal conversation

You should ride around the city centre here, you will have so much glass in your tires in no time flat, you’ll love it!

I dont know, I have never had to replace one, so never had to take one off. The one time I ever had one fail was when I hit a piece of timber with multiple nails in it, and I got my local bike shop to swap it. Tyre was already over ten years old at that point, and given I ride somewhere between 200 and 600kms a month probably had well over 10,000 kms on it

Interesting tech but there are already decent available solutions such as the Schwalbe Marathon Plus and similar that are effectively glassproof, I have these on my bike and they work really well, one is over 15 years old now

I have been hearing stories of people here experiencing credit card fraud after buying stuff off TEMU. I wouldnt touch it myself, looks too good to be true

Same here. Its a bit shabby and heavy on gas but I can fix most things on it myself… but at least I dont have this issue

You deserve rights so long as you respect the rights of others

This is the best approach and one had has far wider application beyond just the internet

YouTube music is like an alien looked at that app, and tried to recreate it exclusively by smashing it’s forehead against a keyboard until an app that started most of the time came out.

You think they that much care and attention into the app?

But seriously, yeah, I had pretty much the same experience -Google Play Music just worked beautifully, whereas YouTube Music was a steaming turd on Android. I gave up after six months and two phones and went to Deezer, never looked back

Well that was interesting. Useful to know I cant rely on Wikipedia any more for anything on human intelligence.

With anything controversial like this its best to go direct to the source if possible - the research itself

This is news? I would have been extremely surprised if it wasnt. This is normal for China, the CCP is eavesdropping on everything

China and fraud - like peanut butter and jelly, they just go together naturally

Number 6 of course, goes without saying
