Labour will lose many votes to this kind of bad-faith politics and their stunning incompetence in the delivery of the Online Safety Act, and they’ll deserve to.

Personally I prefer the web app as it’s design is more consistent with WhatsApp on other platforms, and it has less access to your system. Can use Adblock to remove the parts you don’t like, and notifications are significantly less annoying
Glasgow Gorbals, 1960. I post photographs taken by me since 1954. 180 unique historic street scenes of the British Isles are included in my book "Forgotten Times" to be published soon. A limited number available to pre-order from Amberley Publishing. #Glasgow

I just disagree. MS announces a support period when they release a new OS - typically over a decade. Why should they have to either keep supporting it forever or support old hardware on their next version if they don’t want to? PC hardware can be recycled or run a competing OS if users want to.
And presumably Intel and AMD’s own support cycles as well. They probably want to avoid dealing with unsupported CPUs in the late stages of the lifecycle
But on the other hand, Microsoft have to plan for a decade+ of supporting Windows 11, so the entry requirements have to factor that in. Eg: arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024...
It’s a good detail. It wouldn’t surprise me if some of the exceptions were made just for Microsoft’s own surface Studio and similar embarrassing cases.
I wasn’t familiar with that specific acronym, but yeah, I was thinking of the Spectre and Meltdown mitigations
If you include the security requirements (TPM 2.0 and a CPU with mitigation for speculative execution vulnerabilities), are there any systems that qualify but aren’t currently supported?
Basic web ui the llm might be able to do it for you. I got good results 6-12 months ago with a small Bootstrap 5(?) site from Claude ~3
How often does it need maintenance and how long does it take? 1 day a year seems fine. 30 days not so fine
What’s the suitable alternative? I’ve just skimmed through a bunch of the docs and blog posts about this and there’s a maddening lack of recommended alternative. It’s a lot of: “this isn’t perfect so don’t use it”. If there isn’t a replacement type, then it is better than strings, surely?
@theverge.com what’s happening in this section of the home page? Do I need to accrue more read articles before it works or ?
1/3rd sounds way too high for the renters when you may only be renting for a year or two.
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho *cared* that his country was suffering.
He eagerly sought intelligent advice and let it change his mind. He was held to account by a vigorous legislature.
For us, today, Idiocracy might as well be The West Wing.
Analysis | Trump is finally giving us the recession that Biden could never deliver.
Just in case you didn’t know you can swap the function and control keys around in the software settings – certainly in the bios of Lenovo laptops. I always end up doing this.
It is fucking unbelievable that they’re using AI to make content at The Verge now www.theverge.com/tech/641940/...
Photo taken from the beach, looking out to see with Berwick pier and lighthouse to the right of the image. The sky looks very dramatic with a yellow grey light. The sea is rough and wavy.
Wild seascape🌊 Incredible light. Berwick pier today.

Would watch if/when it’s available online!
If Bluesky becomes (remains?) a liberal echo chamber, it will be bad for everyone.
Would love to know what they say is wrong with it and whether they can fix it. If it’s just replacing the panel that would be disappointing

@thurrott.bsky.social is this a problem with the rss feed?
The offline installer has the same effect as a dvd installer doesn’t it? You can install it on say windows 11 and maybe future versions of windows if you’re lucky until the software drifts too far for compatibility. What’s different? There’s a support period for both
I see, I must have misunderstood your original post
I’m not sure I quite understand you, but if you keep the installer and the activation code I see no difference between this version and any other version of Office?
