It was more a warning of how the world will become if we carried on this path of things like Trial by Twitter or giving up all your rights to corporations from glossing over the book. I guess we haven't learnt from your comment.
From the article:
"promotion of self-harm online, extreme pornography and cyber flashing."
It also says this needs to be proven by Ofcom that the executives didn't try and stop children from seeing it, so honestly this isn't going to do anything and just makes people feel like they made a difference.
Not everyone knows how to block ads so anything that can help a gambler stop is a good thing however when I posed that feature to Reddit mobile earlier in the year for someone reason it got ignored.
Although true we use a weird mix of unit of metric and imperial it's worth noting my kids in school don't seem to get taught imperial measurements anymore outside of miles.
I don't think I've ever agreed with a comment as much as this one. Having a cable I know for a fact works has made life as a field engineer so much easier just wish my project manager would stop asking me to chuck that old box of cables out of my van every inspection.
I agree precursor is pushing it slightly but it's technically the correct term, being able to create your own fuel and oxygen to support human life even if it's just a proof of concept is an important milestone to hopefully seeing us reach another planet in my life time.
Wasn't this prophesied in the Red Dwarf books with the same company? Been a while since I've read them but I'm sure this was part of the story that lead to the Earth being voted to be the space dump for the entire solar system.
When building my current high end PC I had a pretty good budget (Thanks to unlimited overtime at work that year) and although I noticed a day and night improvement in upgrading my old SATA2 hard drive to an SSD when I shelled out for my 256GB M2 950 pro I haven't noticed once any improvement that makes me glad I spent the extra money. I know about the thermal issues and such but I just notice a time where that 2.5GB/sec speed comes in use to just a standard SSD. Has anyone else noticed this or was the 960 pro the one I should have waited for?
I've tried a lot of distros in my time including Arch and Gentoo and while I can get them all working there is something about Mint that just works out of the box and I'm finding now I'm older I actually like that in my computer.
My real advice here though is just be prepared to switch from time to time and see what works best for you.
Interesting as I'm in this age group and I actually find most ebooks at an acceptable price that I'm willing to pay for them rather than look elsewhere.
I think this is more to do with the fact Amazon have a pretty good system of letting me use any suitable device I own.
