I've tried using wireless speakers on my laptop and they are the WORST. Fine sound quality but the lag make it impossible to use them with movies.

Next up - mandatory email filters to scan for copyright attachments, and your laptop mic will listen for songs being played so you can be charged a penny everytime you listen to copyright work.

Not soon enough. Every episode I've seen has been just awful, painting everyone in tech/science as an asshole. I haven't seen a funny episode, so obviously i am in the minority here.

And articles are almost Never made better by an (autoplay) video. Just let me read what it has to say!

Why do we have to read about this kind of abuse on (the very good Register) in the UK? Why don't stories like this get domestic airtime?
