Why no PoE?
Thick cables compared to Bellwire / or batteries, don't bend very well.
Will need people to master terminating the cables into 8P8C plugs or be able to buy totally random sized cables and spool up longer ones cables (it buying you'll need to drill / fill 12mm holes everywhere)
Need suitable switch / router (don't be fooled, many don't support PoE across all ports at full draw).

Re: Apprenticeship
I saw a poster outside the local Jobcentre the other day saying over a lifetime a skilled apprentice will earn MORE than a Uni grad.
Times have change a lot since I was young, but I left school at 16 and earned around the modern equivalent of about £100,000 by they time they finished Uni. That's a lot to catch up.

We are thinking of taxing a pay per click of just 1 cent.
The trial, expected to last 5 years, will just test a couple of domains to start with.
We'll start with
googlesyndication.com
doubleclick.net
We'll review these on a monthly basis and see if they need amending. If we don't receive payment, we'll simply get them blocked at ISP level.

From experience.
What someone I know was getting was pretty much all day issues,but could receive on occasion. However all sent mail was going up with "There's been a problem" and chucking them in draft.
Around 8:50pm BST it seemed to be sending again, but she was having to go into each draft and force a resend. Even then it was taking 30 to 60 seconds to confirm sent.

You missed the back story...
..he decided that clothes were to restrictive, so he decided to do it naked.
However he slipped and his member accidentally went inside, at the same time the bar accidentally entered his rear orifice.
Whilst repeatedly trying to remove the bar with multiple forward and backward motions, he failed to notice it was causing issues with the blood supply to his penis, causing an unexpected swelling.
It was at this point he tried thrusting backwards and forwards multiple times, but it just got more stuck. Even self lubricating failed to help, in fact it seemed to become more sticking as the lubrication dried.

What it won't allow is you browsing Amazon then for the next six months, ad's based on that search appearing in every website you visit, and the associate back tracking i.e. Amazon know what sites you visited and saw those ad's.

They come back with valid reason or disappear of the face of the Earth.
Then even with a valid reason, the OS goes, this app is trying to connect to a premium rate SMS / Phone number.
Block until allowed.
Ask user with a bloody great warning. This App is trying to connect to a service with high call charges. Do you accept the risks.
It's not that hard.
I'd go further than that.
All Apps should have "Deny ALL" until they can justify each and every access control they ask for.
Spotify just can't wash those songwriters out of its hair
Re: I don't understand
"Why do Spotify have to pay the songwriter if they've already paid the record label? "
Typically, it's because the Songwriters have nothing to do with the Record label. Add to that, they record may be released with one label say in the US and a completely different label than the UK. It's less common these days, but historically it was very common.
They have, it's called YouTube.
Unfortunately you just deal with another set of scumbags.

Unloved Microsoft Edge is much improved – but will anyone use it?
One thing you missed...
...that it's tied to the Windows version, which is utterly stupid.
For example, a oldish home PC is still on an early Win10 version as it's still waiting to be updated to a newer one (forced update kills it). So I'm on the old crappy version on Edge, which means it won't get used, no matter how good it is now.
Similar situation with work.
As for compatibility, these days I find I have to flip between browsers as none of them behave properly.

They also have higher taxation levels*, higher cost of living. Norway is oil rich, Switzerland has cash pouring in due to its banking.
In return they plough more into "social" good, such as childcare ,public transport, education and general looking after the mind as well as the body.
