Not sure where you looked, but Apple's Tech Specs for the new M2 MacBook Air says the USB ports support charging, independently of the MagSafe 3 port

That's how it works with my 2021 14-Inch MacBook Pro, too.

GDPR applies to all data stored and processed by businesses, not just data held on computers.

The law was designed to be 'technologically neutral' to prevent it becoming outdated by changes in technology.

“Sharpness is a bourgeois concept.”

Henri Cartier-Bresson :-)

They get their day in court. You really don't need to lay on the melodramatic language of 'tyranny'.

BTW, the law regulating minicabs in London is laid out by national government in the Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998. TfL is the regulator, but not the 'lawmaker'.

In short, if you are going to comment, get your facts right.

One that was exploited by drivers on 14,000 occasions. Not a great look for a company that touts itself as software outfit, even if it is really just a taxi firm.

Wow, you have really drunk the kool aid! :-D

'ride-sharing' is an obvious misnomer. Uber drivers don't just happen to be going to your house and it's not just you offering a lift home to a friend, it's a business.

I think you will find the regulatory landscape in London is rather different to that in New Orleans

Besides, we have fairly decent public transport

Uber have a right of appeal to Westminster Magistrates Court within 21 days of Transport for London's decision not to renew their Private Hire Vehicle operator's licence.

Uber have used that right more than once within the last 18 months and I expect they will again.

Er, from TfL's statement today

Hardly 'vague. or 'meaningless'

A couple of days ago on Twitter I was informed in all seriousness by some Trump supporter in Louisiana that David Cameron and Theresa May are 'more socialist than they should be' and that some of their policies are 'communist'.

Unfortunately, even if the rest of what he says appears rather unhinged, it doesn't look like a parody account.

Are you incapable of looking it up in the Bill? It's a matter of official public record.

As you have already been told it is in Schedule 4 of the Act (though technically it's still a Bill until it receives Royal Assent

http://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-public-bill-office/2016-17/compared-bills/Investigatory-Powers-AAC-Tracked-Changes-version.pdf

Schedule 4 begins on page 219, though heaven knows why I'm being so helpful for a sweary AC

The Guardian 'one of the most extreme left news outlets in the UK'? Ha!

If that is true, it is only in comparison to the right-wing bias of most UK dailies than any objective measurement of the Guardian's left-wing bias. Most of the time its editorial line is to the right even of large parts of the Liberal party. It would probably be fair to say the The Guardian is mostly social democratic in its outlook, but to call it even socialist would be a misnomer, 'extreme left' even more so.

85900 and still around. :-)

I guess I will be in for some serious questioning next time I go to the US...

So the fact that the government mandates insurance if I want to drive my car on the road means the cost of my car insurance is actually a tax?

TBF, the guy in the Huff Po story you linked to only killed himself

That's as may be in Helsinki for video surveillance. We've become rather accustomed to that in the UK.

The line that's being crossed here (not particularly well highlighted in the summary) is that they will be making *audio* recordings of the interior of the taxi too.

Maybe News International threw in the towel and pulled the plug on them.
