For everyone not aware, given everything else that’s going on—yes, that’s world war

I doubt this comment is for anyone reading but:

If you support this, you are a bad person, a literal caricature villain.

I think that would categorically be world war at that point. I was more going on about seriously denouncing this kind of thing as being on the road to world war, before we get to that point

So when do we start seriously saying this is looking like we’re escalating into world war here?

Is it unclear?

The Donald Trump that has a huge debt to Russia?

The Russia that might be interested in sensitive information about the royal navy?

The royal navy that provides the most immediate nuclear deterrent to Russia?

It’s a good point

But the accusation isn’t flippant. That’s exactly what this is.

Plex is probably the easiest and most convenient, I think jellyfin is viable too, but I don’t use it.

If you’ve got the money, Roon or Audirvana are the gold standard of self hosted music

If you want something similar, but free, look into things like volumio or subsonic based solutions.

I feel like there should be a prize for this

Perhaps involving a french antique with a place to rest one’s head

Legitimately the Japanese convenience stores are peerless compared to anything outside their country.

Family mart over 7-11 though IMO

My view on this is that Ofcom fucked it on this long ago really and the horse has already bolted

We should have gone with an openreach style model for the infrastructure rather than doling out exclusive rights to chunks of spectrum in an entirely uneven manner.

This model can’t really sustain more than a few companies because, using this as an example: three has a fantastic 3G network and the best 5G network, however they have no 2G network and got shafted on 4G spectrum. Vodafone has almost a polar opposite of the best 2G coverage (still useful for very remote customers) and 4G coverage comparable to EE.

The only way for these two companies to cover the patches in their service and complete with the market leader effectively is a merger, which is how EE came to exist in the first place.

I’m not sure I buy the pricing-people-out angle either tbh, we have a pretty rich market of MVNOs who act as an anchor on the MNO pricing, and it would look like anti-competitive market collision if suddenly the operating costs for these companies went up after a merger.

:D

I guess out of fear that we get another gitlab situation, where the open source offering has a load of key features eventually kept behind a paywall

What are you on about?

Ryzen 3xxx series processors are still being sold new today

The oldest zen processors are only just over half a decade old—a consumer CPU should be expected to be in service at least double that time.

Well I stopped buying it a few months ago after the prices went up again despite them being incapable of getting 4/5 orders correct and just a general drop in quality
