  Why is it I can find a ton of power blocks in 5v, 6v, 12v, 15v, and 19v versions but not a damn one of 45v ones I need for a poe switch? They've got to be here somewhere because I know I bought them and used them previously! Grrr.

  It's annoying that these bans will take so long to take effect but it is, finally, a start on recognising the extreme damage the State of Israel is doing. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2026/sep/08/uk-us-trade-israel-sanctions-labour-ed-miliband-farage-latest-news-updates #BDS #StopFundingIsrael #IsraeliWarCrimes #ProtectGaza

  Israel won't stop committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing (as verified by UK Government) until the USA stops funding it's abhorrent behaviour. This is not about religion, this is about dangerous violence and deep injustice. #Gaza #ReturnTheWestBank #BDS #StopFundingIsrael #IsraeliWarCrimes #IsraeliViolence #SettlerMurderers

  OK, it's very definitely Autumn/Hiver and I've been feeling cold this evening. So much so that I've just plugged the electric blanket back in and turned it on. My bones are getting old. 😢

  I responded to the UK's Chief Rabbi: "This is not about religion, it's about state-sanctioned mass murder. It was wrong in Serbia, wrong in Myanmar, wrong in Rwanda, and wrong in Israel / Palestine." #BDS #StopFundingIsrael #IsraeliWarCrimes #IsraeliViolence #SettlerMurderers #Palestine #Gaza #Israel #GazaIsNotIsrael

  The UK government doesn't care about me. Everyone else seems to be talking about an emergency alert. I got nothing.

  When I was Head of Technology at Capital Radio Interactive we were doing a major equipment upgrade but also needed to increase our bandwidth to the colo and the Leicester Square office. I've just refound the list of quotes se received. I suspect this will shock some people here!

  ID cards are bad. Very bad. 1. Once they exist it will become necessary to always carry it. If you don't you must have something to hide, etc. 2. They can't stop people working in the 'black economy' because people currently employing those working for cash don't care. 3. It is another attack on trans and NB people (very unlikely someone would be allowed to have multiple IDs) 4. Massive data loss of personal information is highly likely. 5. Who pays? Why...

  Seeing someone mention travel management software reminded me of a terrible experience I had back in the day. I was the European-based manager for a USA based global Fortune 300. I did a *lot* of flying and hotels. I realised my expenses hadn't been paid in a while so calculated just how much was outstanding. Around £6000! So told my boss (the CIO) that I was going nowhere until they were paid. Paid two days later. I quit a couple of months after that, which sent the share price falling...

  Yes, Labour have had big losses. Yes, so have the Tories. Greens were up, as were the LibDems. And yes, Reform made some gains too. Thing is, after it's all done, the actual number of Reform councillors is tiny. Yes, really. They mostly gained at the margins. Their vote percentage was actually DOWN on the last elections. It's frightening how many people voted for the racist right, but we'll all survive. PS This demonstrates why the UK urgently needs to move away from FPT...

  Absolutely abhorrent behaviour by Israeli armed forces. THIS IS ADMITTING TO WAR CRIMES! 'Bluth said another way he had loosened legal constraints on Israeli soldiers in the West Bank was to allow the maiming of Palestinians caught trying to cross the separation barrier into Israel in search of work. “At the [separation barrier], it is currently permitted to detain a suspect by shooting him at the knee or below to create ‘barrier awareness’,” Bluth said, adding that it served as a dete...

  It's Trump's DOJ behaving like this which makes me believe the likelihood of another USA civil war is coming closer. At what point do decent people say enough is enough and fight back? https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/doj-files-in-texas-to-force-ri-hospital

  Supporting #Gaza is not condoning hatred of Jews, it is condemning the murder of people by the Israeli government. State-sanctioned genocide is unacceptable.

  First Mandelson and now Doyle, people are attacking Starmer and Labour because of who the two were friends with. There's no accusations that Mandy or Doyle partook of pædophilia or supported it, or even definitely knew of it, so at what point does it become an issue, and should it even be one? Over many many years I've been friends or acquainted with many hundreds of people. I've little idea what most of them do in their private lives. I'm aware that a few have s...

  @TechConnectify Watching this brought back wonderful memories! I worked for Sperry Univac 1979-84 and we had a pair of these three-tube projectors in our presentation suite which could be connected to various sources, including an 1100/70. Really useful for doing show 'n' tell with charts and graphics too.

  So have I got this right? #Iran was preventing the rest of the world from getting supplies of oil, helium, and other materiel by blocking the Straiggt of #Hormuz but Trump didn't like that and thought the USA military could block the access better, so forcing a crisis to become even worse than it already was. Does he even have a working braincell, 'cos it sure seems very stupid.
