- Comment on Cursed 32 Gig NVMe drive? 10 months ago:
Giving it a fancy name does not hide the fact it would be much better to replace the HDD with an SSD the same size. Typical Apple - marketing over substance.

Just as well that I am not in the US then.
- Comment on Can you survive on pickles alone, for a while? 10 months ago:
Easy. If I was trapped in a recently abandoned pickle factory, then I would survive on the food in the staff canteen, starting with what had just been prepared, such as pizza and sandwiches; after a day or so I would move on to see what was in the refrigerators, and finally work my way up to the frozen food. Oh, by the way, when they abandoned the factory, they forgot to turn off the power, so all the perishables are still nicely preserved.
Also, lots of things can be pickled, not just cucumbers. The word “pickles” makes me immediately think of pickled onions. There is usually quite a bit of sugar in the picking vinegar.
- Comment on Why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytes 10 months ago:
Ok, I understand what you are trying to do, but I that is not how I read it at the time. Prefix to me in this context means e.g., “kilo” in “kilobyte”, and not the “k” in “kB”. I am not sure it is helpful to split the unit symbol up like that.
- Comment on Why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytes 10 months ago:
Thanks for this article. Unfortunately, you used the word “prefix” when you really meant “unit symbol”. So, “kilo” and “mega” are prefixes, kB and MB are unit symbols. You repeatedly called the latter “prefixes”.

What do you mean.
- Comment on Feddit.UK has finally kicked the bucket- and what happens next. 11 months ago:
I assume no-one, including the feddit uk admins, can access the server to copy anything off it, so it will all be lost.
- Comment on Lapsus$: GTA 6 hacker sentenced to life in hospital prison 11 months ago:
He sounds like a very troubled kid: “ The court heard that Kurtaj had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage.”. He is deemed a danger to himself or others so is being placed is a secure hospital for safety, hopefully he will get treatment there. He will be released if the doctors deem he is no longer a danger.

- Comment on How To Turn Off Google’s “Privacy Sandbox” Ad Tracking—and Why You Should 1 year ago:
I started using Chrome instead of IE11, which was crap for standards, and before Edge was a thing. When Edge came along, I got really ticked off by the constant nagging to use it, which made me hate it without even trying it. I will probably carry on with Chrome for now, whist I can still turn off all the ad tracking stuff.
- Comment on Russia, China, Iran state media see boost on X after removal of ‘state-affiliated’ labels 1 year ago:
I live in the UK and I disagree with you. Assuming this right wing bias is true, how does it evidenced itself in the BBC’s programming and news coverage? Because I don’t see it. Especially their news, which seems very even-handed to me.
