White middle aged males. There's fewer false positives for that niche category than all others, which isn't particularly encouraging.

Let's mix that with Space Cowboys: find an old Russian spy / nuke satellite (there's bound to be one), and without making it mad attach it to ISS, orient the whole lot to point out of the ecliptic plane and set off the boosters. After a month of thrust and drift, set off the nukes.

Or don't, and leave it as a booby trapped surprise for alien civilisations to discover as it travels through interstellar space. There's enough Star Trek storylines about crap coming our way to kill us all, so why not preemptively return the favour?

They are keen to stress that you don't need to give internet access to the range (so there's no phoning home. Yet) and things will keep working just fine. Except you'll be needing to set up an account before you can use anything, but they are being coy about how something that doesn't need internet access to operate is able to confirm an account has been set up on a remote server.

They are also keen to stress this account creation is all about security of the devices, but then admit the data is going to be used to send you marketing spam, which you have to explicitly opt out of. This is contrary to GDPR (or equivalent) in many countries and a Dutch company wouldn't know about such things...

It doesn't change anything if the councils agree with the objectors as they just say no as before. What changes is if the councils have mates / donors / backhands from the construction companies they can ignore any objections from the plebs, even if all of them object.

At long last, I can find out the answer by requesting the surveillance data.

A blanket statement of "employees must be in the office"is better?

U2 can make another video on a roof, this time in Hell's Kitchen. Bonus is all that extra aerial footage to mix in.

He's a different class to the others.

And it was far superior.

"If [grandfathered] remote employees consistently come into the office more than four times every two months outside major events, they'll be shifted to the three-day-a-week plan."

That's changing the terms of the contract without agreement from all parties. Such a pity that that is illegal under employment law in the above mentioned Hamburg.

This side of the pond has a tendency to use those kinds of NGN. Setting up a freephone number costs a lot more than a premium one. I have a premium number myself (cost me £5 to set up) and that is the number I supply to any business that demands a landline number in order to proceed with an online service. The yearly fees (again, about £5) are paid off in short order, as they decide they can make up-selling calls. So I keep them on the line instead of immediately refusing / hanging up.

Also comes in handy when my number is sold to telemarketing companies (contrary to law, but whatever) or leaked to scammers. The longer I keep them on the line, the bigger my yearly rebate is.

To sign up takes one click. Sometimes it didn't even take that, you just don't notice / forgot to uncheck a box.
To cancel takes a call to a premium rate number, during limited office hours naturally, that keeps you on hold for 10 minutes and then you have to fax a copy of some form of identification to another premium rate number. Then do that four times more. Six months later you're still signed up and have to resort to stops on your bank account. Then they threaten you with collection agencies and hammer your credit rating but still won't cancel.

Yeah, I had to read that twice just to make sure I wasn't being stupid. If a device is "not in a state to communicate securely over the network" then how could it communicate securely over the network?

This.

Diabetes (type doesn't matter)is one of the (few) chronic conditions that qualifies anybody of any age who has it to get a free prescription for it in any format, along with any other prescribed medication, upon production of a medical exemption certificate.
