Re: Here's hoping the IPO doesn´t ruin the community and support

Industrial companies a bit like miners snatching the GPU of the sad gamer hands.

I'm an 'industrial customer'. We're a small (<20 employees) UK company supplying medical software with some associated hardware to the NHS. Our solution plays a key part in research improving outcomes for patients.

Let's not pretend that there are no off the shelf industrial computers capable of whatever it is needed for them to do.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you haven't spent years developing a hardware solution, gone through multiple revisions of the hardware, designed an enclosure and (this is the BIG one) gotten the whole thing certified for use.

A lot of 'industrial customers' put a lot of trust into Raspberry Pi to be a dependable supplier who provide a stable product with a decent shelf life. They did their best to deliver on this.

Re: Promise

It's a long time since I've actually laughed out loud at a comment :-)

Re: Outlook...

"Client had SBS2k3 server..."

How about a trigger warning PLEASE!

You've just undone years of counselling :-(

Re: Interpreting the official response:

My take on the latter was

"There is no evidence these customer files were improperly accessed." += "... because we didn't have logging turned on either."

Tesla is playing word games with people's lives at stake.

This sums it up in one sentence.

The driver is absolutely responsible and this guy should be jailed if convicted but this is going to keep happening while these cars are marketed as "self-driving but you need to keep an eye on things *wink*"

Re: Nothing beats the MX Master imho

Same here. The Dark Field tech is brilliant.

I splashed out on an MX Master 3 recently and the scroll-wheel automatically switching from precision to free-wheeling seems incredibly gimmicky until you've been using it for a few weeks then move to another computer / mouse that doesn't have it. THEN you appreciate it!

Re: HP LaserJet 4

I'm no fan of the modern HP but the LaserJet 4 Plus was possibly the best printer ever made.

We shipped a LOT of them back in the day and only ever got support calls to help people struggling with the JetDirect networking side of things.

The Nokia 6210 of printers!

Re: Ball crud

Some years back the company I worked for at the time lost the contract to supply PCs to a local further education college.

We were told it was down to the fact that one of our competitors offered a 'College Grade Mouse' i.e. you needed a special tool to open the ball cover. Apparently the size to weight ratio of the balls made them excellent for throwing at people.
