Imagine if they introduced a law, that if you had defaulted on your student loans, you were not able to get a passport.
That would reduce the number of highly skilled people leaving the country if it got really shit.

Power usage is a massive one for me. I go by £1/W/Year for consumption of always-on devices. (I think it’s more like £3/W/Year now!)

If the 20w new server can do the same work as the 100w server, and will cost me less over 2 years including the purchase price, then the old server is obsolete.

Is that how Gregg’s remember which are steak bakes, and which are chicken bakes?

“we have a 4.7 star rating on Google,”

‘Correction, you have a 4.6 star rating after my review.’

When you mentioned it was only two people, I got curious.
Turns out, it’s a small company operating out of london, and one of the directors lives two streets away from me.
If it wasn’t weird, I would absolutely take a basket of sympathy cookies or something over.

it’s just that the largest companies built those places

And that’s the biggest one imho: They were able to leverage their huge size to save money long term by building and owning.
Now that the status quo has changed, they want to change it back so that their advantage is still in effect.

Possibly, but previously I’ve been able to load a site, open a media-rich page in a new tab, then close that tab to go back to the original page.

On a newer build of FF for Android, that first page is re-loaded from the internet.

Depends how much you want to spend. I wouldn’t start the search with Amazon, take a gander at Head-fi.org forums.
Almost all proper headphones should support it, but it’s worth verifying before purchase.
So you’re better off shortlisting headphones you like, then narrowing by multipoint support, rather than only buying based on multipoint.

I use Sennheiser BT-4.50, and they support multipoint. (Frequently available on their outlet store for good prices). I’m almost certain any of the recent Sony XM range will too.

“Does your company have macs? Mac attacks are up 1000% percent. If you don’t have the IT resources to install antivirus on all your shiny macs, you can pay us to do it for you.”

What a fantastic QOL improvement!

There are some clever innovations from some tool manufacturers too.
DeWalt has launched batteries that work with both 18v and 54v systems, by having different pins on the output wired to different points in the battery chain.

(3 sets of 3 in series for 18v, or 9 in parallel for 54v, I’m assuming)

They’re the inventors of the shish kebab.

Brains are very good at eventually becoming comfortable with a new normal.

They’re also good at being distracted temporarily.

If you can keep yourself busy with positive things (self improvement, cleaning, exercise, cooking), you give your brain space to become accustomed to the new status quo.

Meeting new people is always a good thing to do too, something to keep the social part of your brain from wallowing. Maybe join a local social activity (walking/hiking groups are great).

In most of the places I exist, I think of them like janitors. Doing appreciated, but not-very-fun work, to keep communities moving.

Honestly, if I was in a place with moderators that felt like adversaries, I might not stick around very long.
