"Sky will brick the cameras"

FFS, this is just spite. Sky won't be asking for the cameras back so what difference does it make to them if the cameras still work or not? The reimbursement should be for the removal of the service, not the hardware itself but no doubt if there's no confirmation of bricking there'll be no refund.

Yet more e-waste created by c-suite morons.

EVs arn't exactly carbon neutral - it takes years for them to break even wrt a similar ICE for total lifecycle emissions.

If you want to get people - in cities at least - out of their cars improve public transport.

Reduced as the os boots? Are you drunk? The kernel can do what it likes, userspace root cant. I would suggest you're talking out your arse but I doubt t you could find it with both hands.

You need to specifically set those up in selinux, pam or apparmor. Out the box root can do anything in standard linux. Thats not the case in MacOS.

When Chrysler went bust back in the 2000s I picked up a half price 300c here in europe that had been sitting in a dealership for a year and only had delivery miles on it. I kept that car for 15 years, best I've ever owned.

"If you're root, you are assumed to know what you're doing"

Clearly you've never used MacOS where even root is a 2nd class user in some instances. All for security reasons don't you know - System Integrity Protection or whatever they've called it this month.

I hope you're right.

... by the greatest leap in a year ever recorded last year - 3ppm.

I get the feeling that positive feedback mechanisms are starting to kick in and soon anything we do re human emissions will become irrelevant.

At least with current building materials and technology.

This is what happens when someone with oceans of money but little clue about technical reality watches too many sci-fi films.

If you're that bothered buy a fucking cd or vinyl so the artists get a bigger percentage. It's just music, not life and death.

"Everything at South Pole Station (except for water)"

And air. Even both of these would have to be brought in or somehow manufactured on other planets.

Is if they got too ill or died before they completed the mission or even before they arrived. Also eventually there'll be one person left on their own with no one to care for them. Would a cyanide pill be provided?

Modern freighters can go through a force 12. Good luck doing that in a sailing ship from any era.

Sails and storms dont mix. Innumerable sailing ships had their sails ripped, masts snapped or went to the bottom because of it. Hardly surprising that when a technology that didnt involve having a couple of 50-100 foot high poles with large fabric attached to them that could work in all weathers came along it quickly took over. I mean FFS, this ship had only just left harbour and one of its modern rigid sails got damaged!

Have you seen the shitfest that is their current browser. Ergonomics went out the window years ago so they have form in shooting themselves - and their users, what's left of them -in the foot.
