The UK can't trust China not to steal their data. So why shouldn't they ban Tik Tok on *work* phones. Work phones are by definition for work, not for play time.

To get 64kWh to run my car for 240 miles I need 640million of their 100microW chips. Once I've run the 640 million chips flat it will take 2.88 years for them to self-charge. That's a bit longer than the 40 minutes it takes on a CCS charger to charge my 64kWh lithium battery. So this stuff is not viable as a power source for my EV.

Oh shit, this means https://raspberrypi.org/ is going to get Slashdotted. I hope their ISP has got some spare capacity ready for the deluge.

What you have to remember here is that Her Majesty's Gov't especially Theresa May and David (Knob in a Pig) Cameron can't even spell "internet" let alone being able to draft any coherent legislation to control the Internet.
This is more from the UK Gov't's Department of Sound Bites for the Newspapers Agency. It will never happen because they don't understand the scale of the problem or the massive bucket of data they'd need the ISP to hold and we all know that GCHQ are doing this stuff already. They also don't reveal that most ISPs want to remain as carrier only and not collectors of their customer's data (except Talk Talk who already collect it just so they can let the hackers steal it).

That's quite simply because the public school twat is 100% clueless when it comes to any new tech.

His cabinet friends are equally 100% clueless.

And his gov't advisers are too clueless to tell the clueles twats that they're clueless twats.

It would be nice if we get a Gov't on May 7th that isn't formed by a bunch of clueless twats but we won't. They teach them how to be clueless twats when they do their PPE degrees at Oxford and gain entry to the Establishment. It's the first rule of being a member of the UK Parliament and part of the UK Gov't.

Have I stumbled onto Facebook by accident?

What the fuck is "clickbait"?

Does it involve babies, kittys or family members? Isn't it suppressed by AdBlock+?

You beat me to it.

Please mod parent up.

It's clearly ok as a username. Although who cares if a user name ends up stored in a cookie? But not for authentication, not even as a two factor option.

It took that long to load the page at 300/300.

I've got all the URLs I need written on a million post-it notes stuck to my monitor, desk, walls and chair.

Only during a hurricane when a falling tower (unlikely) could cause structural damage or injury.

Why does /. allow that troll to keep posting that shit? What happened to any form of moderation and control on here?

They're going to have to enhance the aurocorrect dictionary or it will make complete nonsense of Prof. Hawking's very technical speech.

... When some drunk pillock swallows one? How soon does it take before the lawsuit?

The fucking pointless cookie popups are a monster PITA on my phone. Especially when I clear them every time I close thr browser to save space.
