Also a bit limiting. With 10 fingers I want the full Swiss army knife, including a multi-bit screwdriver with torx bits

>write them somewhere, something that should be radically forbidden.
Not convinced about that. Having a secure online banking paswd written in the back of your diary in your handbag is probably a better defence against N Korea hackers than memorising "Passw0rd$"
Ps don't write "my XYZ bank password is" in front of it!
And the reason for changing your password regularly is ?????
It used to be that brute forcing your password took months so the assumption was if you changed it every 3 months is was secure. Nobody is currently taking 3 months to brute force a hashed /etc/passwd
So forcing you to change it every month just means lots of "my_dogs_name_N+1" passwords.
>rather than how tax law works in the UK.
Tax law in the UK says that payments to overseas subsiduaries purely for tax avoidance ARE illegal.
So Starbucks paying £50/lb for coffee beans from Starbucks in Switzerland
Microsoft UK paying £100/copy for Windows to Microsoft Grand-Cayman for the rights to use the Microsoft logo - have all been found illegal.
Amazon claiming all it's sales happen in Luxemburg or Apple claiming that a phone bought in Oxford St was really bought in Eire should also be investigated
President wants to look tough on Jina
Advisers point out that turning off the favorite cat video habit of 100M addicts just before the election might not make him look like Santa Claus
China was going to block the sale anyway, Oracle could't afford it and would fsck it up
So Larry donates a few $M to the Don, gets a few $100M contract to run some servers for TikTok and suddenly security is not a problem
It's just like the deals for restaurant services in New York by certain Italian-American family businesses
>get them off the shelf from your local Motorola
Alternately can we think of any other literally "front line" services of the British state who need reliable secure radio networks and perhaps copy those?
Surely they can be repainted from green to plod-blue for less than a billion quid?
(couldn't remember what the army's current radio system is called - but if you type "british army radio fiasco" into the internets you get a list of all them)
They just work(tm) and tend to last quite a long time, both build quality and SW updates.
Bought SHMBO a MacBook-Air about 5 years ago and haven't had to touch it - best $1000 ever spent.
Used to get them for salespeoples. If it breaks, walk into a iStore in pretty much any city in the world, get it fixed or swapped, data automagically iRecovers from iBackup and they are back out on the streets.
Wouldn't have one myself of course - but i like spending weekends trying to get Linux running on obscure hardware.
>Indeed. In fact Bluetooth would only work if you were nearby the lock, in which case just give them the key.
Not if you designed it properly (ie employed a 5 year old or reasonably intelligent Labrador)
The lock has a key generator synced once to the app on your phone, you can generate a valid key and email to your mate. The lock recognises the key code and opens. Extra points if the code is only valid once or for a certain period of time.
>How come they came up with such a deal?
Does it raise the SP500 before the election? Since ARM and Softbank aren't listed then selling it to a listed company will inevitably increase NVidia's price in the short term.
This government's only priority is that everyone's retirement account statement looks good by November
>Why couldn't Sun just continue as they were.
Sun was pretty much dead once we could run free on Linux on cheap x64
A lot of Sun users ran Oracle. Oracle were afraid that a lot of IBM HW salesmen visiting ex-Sun customers might have a DB2 salesman in tow
>Why didn't ARM stay as an independent company?
Because an idiot with more money thane sense (judging from his other investments) offered the shareholders more than the current market price for it.
>Oracle, on the other side, I have no idea why they would want that; but I'm pretty sure TikTok won't like it when they know.
Conspiracy says it's a back-hander from Trump for Larry's support and a commiseration for the Generals (Traitors/Losers) not giving him the DoD contract.
Cock-up says he is doing it because they have to do something not to become totally irrelvant
>without a valid warrant (i.e. no FISA, Patriot Act or NSA letter interference),
Until the men in suits with dark glasses tell you that the super security act letter is a valid warrant.
Since you have total trust in your own governments legality and the supreme court and attorney-general you believe them and hand over the data.
But £350M / week ......
Anyway it should be easy for Britain to produce another Apple.
You need a twat poser full of his own importance with no technical knowledge
An under-appreciated genius engineer for him to rip off
An art-school type, and Marillon front man impersonator, to make it look think(*) and sexy
Also need a few 100,000 engineers, but I hear these are available cheap in the colonies these days
* apologies for the typo - butterfly keyboard
>you are the only person who has ever got the Dr Strangelove reference!
The TSA definitely do
Entering the USA from Canada they ask if you have ever partaken of the Devilish Weed (which is legal in Canada) if you say yes they can deny you entry on moral grounds
If you tell that no because it pollutes your precious bodily fluids and destroys the purity of your essence they let you in with no further questions.
Or perhaps they thought I was being serious ....
