Re:
So now fixing a previous fuckup counts as good news for Windows 10!? Bit like the captain saying the plane is crashing but the good news is we'll be landing early...

Yesterday
Some one waved at me, indicating to slow down, I dont drive too fast on the country roads around us as you never know whats around the next corner. So I slowed down anyway & around the next corner was a loose horse getting a bit agitated. Passing it may have caused a problem even though the road was clear, but waiting a couple of minutes until it calmed down did the trick.
I'm not sure how many robot cars can recognise that.

Re: Didn't they used to have a flywheel?
Yes, I think they had two concrete flywheels run up to speed at 200 rpm by electric motor & suppelemnted about 600Mw from the Didcott to Cowley supergrid.
I visited some time around 1990 & very interesting it was too. Aparently they also had to let Dinorwig know otherwise it cut in on the dip.
