You put another professional services company what I think you meant is another ai powered company
- Comment on French children discovered another seated Gaul skeleton this week near their primary school playground in Dijon 1 week ago:
Sat facing west, looking towards the sunset, something to do with end of life and end of day?
- Comment on Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 Bug That Locks Users Out of the C: Drive 2 weeks ago:
Also remember that it’s called C drive because your A and B drives are still floppy drives in 2026

To be fair it was difficult to tell… Boobs

I completely disagree, one is slightly zoomed in more than the other!
- Comment on Cheapest 14x4tb NAS 2 weeks ago:
Have a look at the guides in serverbuild.net forums such as forums.serverbuilds.net/t/guide-nas-killer-5-0/
The series of post that is Nas killer (4.0 5.0 6.0) etc. they list a bunch of CPUs and motherboards with approx eBay prices along with ram disks etc etc. I used it as a reference when building my cheap Nas for home, mainly the motherboard/CPU sections.
- Comment on LibreOffice criticizes EU Commission over proprietary XLSX formats 3 weeks ago:
Just like opening a .doc file in notepad, technically all the information is there
- Comment on LibreOffice criticizes EU Commission over proprietary XLSX formats 3 weeks ago:
I remember, only trouble is a lot of people at the time didn’t care or were paid loads of money to not care.
Also the name Office Open XML right at the time OpenOffice was the only one about before oracle came in and fucked it over
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 3 weeks ago:
24hour charge that’s like charging at under 3kw, that’s the rate at which a standard electrical outlet can charge in the UK, that’s the same power as my kettle. The V2L function on my EV can kick out more power than that.
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 3 weeks ago:
I’d rather not have to deal with a petrol/diesel engine than go long distances, but saying that is a bit of a non issue to go a long distance in an EV in Europe.

Hang on a minute that’s some colonialist bullshit, the penguins were there first

Holy shit that’s amazing, he will literally do anything for money
- Comment on Nigel Farage's claim he 'can't be bought' is ridiculed 1 month ago:
I didn’t believe you at first but you can literally get Nigel farage to say anything for the low price of £69.73+ I’m going to assume he won’t say some stuff but still
- Comment on If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky. 1 month ago:
Its actually more like if a steam engine and a waterwheel had a baby, a turbine
- Comment on Anyone have a favorite NAS (for normies)? 2 months ago:
I don’t even have a web interface on my server, so with that in mind: If they are managing it day to day, get a qnap device, my none tech friend has one, started with a 2bay now has a 4 bay with 8tb drives (QNAP TS-464). I’ve only ever had to help him with the old one, can’t remember what the problem was but 10mins and the command line and it was fixed.
Also have a look at true as or hexos, I think they have immich as an app, not 100% sure
- Comment on Denmark wants to ban VPNs to unlock foreign, illegal streams – and experts are worried 3 months ago:
I actually want one country to ban VPNs just so every other country can see the fallout or complete lack of enforcement

- Comment on It's weird looking back at life, and seeing all the paths I didn't go down 3 months ago:
Just wait until you get older, things that involve money get compounded, I made a decision at uni 2001 to not study ai, I decided bitcoin wasn’t worth it when that dude bought a pizza with it, bought a house too late and just before the financial crash. I did notice that bad shit was about to go down or at least the potential to at xmas 2019 with covid, not that there was much I could do about it. (Probably due to playing pandemic)
Most decisions in life are a gamble, and usually the odds are stacked massively against you, so don’t worry about it too much

I can see ddr4 at that price not ddr5

Ah yes just what everyone needs an isock
- Comment on YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port. 4 months ago:
Just get a bit of plastic packaging or something similar. Cut thin long rectangle. Then cut a small chunk out near the tip to form a small hook. Scrape along the bottom of the port in all directions. Pull out fluff, then repeat until no more fluff comes out. Then go again as you won’t have got it all out even if it looks like it
- Comment on 28-pound electric motor delivers 1000 horsepower 4 months ago:
But horses are measured in hands, average of 16 hands so 16000 hands, 8000 people. That’s like 1 electrical pixie per 11 people

Anything but metric!
- Comment on Satellites Are Leaking the World’s Secrets: Calls, Texts, Military and Corporate Data 5 months ago:
Well the biggest steps I’m going to assume are having a satellite dish, knowing where to point it, knowing what to send, then hope that someone is listening. Much easier for a hooligan to throw a rock at someone or find a can of spray paint
- Comment on Microsoft just changed where your Word documents live — here’s why it matters 5 months ago:
It’s probably hiding somewhere in the ribbon. I had the mispleaure of using word and outlook the other day, on someone else’s computer. Somehow I managed to save as an odt, somehow managed to attach end send it, only for the iPad not to be able to open the odt. Just said fuck it and went back to my lunix machine
- Comment on Will UK taxpayers get their £122m back from PPE Medpro? 5 months ago:
Just call it what it is fraud and a criminal organisation. Someone in the government or civil service authorised the payment for the goods after delivery. It’s not about returning the money it’s about sending a message, reclaim what you can an jail everyone involved. If this was anyone else for smaller amount of money and not linked to the government it would have happened already.

I assumed it was like cream separating from milk, only wax from honey, but to be fair I have never really thought about it much
