Thanks, was seriously considering Proton mail. Think I’m just going to set up my own mail server.

What have I missed? Who is the CEO and what did they do?

I know Apple already has the ability to see an almost constant 360 view of my life in 4K from my phone, but it’s a bit weird to think of cameras in AirPods.

Hand gestures to pause/play or adjust volume might be cool tho

We have two doors that go into the garden, one in the dining room one in the kitchen, if we let our rescue Collie out of one she will wait by the other to be let in. Collies are smart, ours is defective.

Please be careful, I’ve been told not to push through as it will damage my heart. Currently 3 years in and my stamina for walking or washing up has increased from ~10 mins to ~20 mins, before I get out of breath.

Sources suggest the extra expense is justified to enhance the image of the government

I’m assuming the image they were going for was fucking morons, if so well done, complete success.

This should be the definition of ‘letting perfect be the enemy of good’ Please stop using false oil lobby talking points to attack the transition to electric cars. Electric cars are an order of magnitude better for the environment than petrol/diesel, stop fighting big oils battle for them. Now let’s talk about how we can reduce road journeys through public transport, and reduce environmental impact of tires.

How about carving replacement buttons and bezel out of some hardwood? Finished with an epoxy based varnish it should resist the bleach fumes.

This is about the time when in the UK they stopped allowing digital membership cards (on a phone app) and forced you to install the Costco app.

I am trying to remove as many apps as possible and until this change just carried my driving licence and a backup credit card in my phone case.

Forcing their own tracking app nearly made me cancel my membership.

Unless you’re a baker, you should watch it one more time.

Brit here… naturally assumed it was a Greggs Sausage roll

Cat names are the same, have you seen Asteroid Destroyer?

The new UK Studio is called Shinfield Studios. (Just realised I didn’t name it in my last message)

No personal experience or connections for you but we have just built a new film studio in Reading, Berkshire which is owned by a US company Shadowbox Studios.

May be worth seeing if you can get a job at Shadowbox in the US and being open to a possible transfer?

As others have said the UK is one of the most LGBTQIA+ friendly countries, your family would be welcomed here.

What is the most privacy focussed way to register a domain these days?

last time I did it was about 20 years ago and they pretty much just put your home address and telephone number in a Whois lookup.

I’ve come to the end of my patience with hotmail/live, my email is out there on a list so I get tens of spam mails a day and they almost never correctly identify them, but any new service I sign up to and it goes straight to spam.

Proton mail seems expensive for a single offering and the bundle has too many unnecessary things I don’t need. Also the lack of protocol support means you are restricted on clients you can use.

I’m pleased you posted this as I’m going to give all these a try too, but I’m becoming a pessimist and I’m thinking as soon as I’ve fully switched they will put up the price. Your personal email is becoming one of the hardest things to change.

My top priority is the ability to have individual addresses for each service I use going to a single inbox, that way if my email is leaked by a company, I can just nuke that alias, and I’ll know who leaked it. May be a good feature for you too?

Another unfortunate truth is that the Dildo of Consequence rarely comes lubed.

I was just about to suggest GrayJay but then I remembered it’s an Android app.

Possible but the expense ruined my plans in the end… I did consider collecting broken tungsten end mills and inserts from machine shops and throwing them in molten lead, like croutons in a lead soup.

I really wanted to use Tungsten as the base ballast for a custom narrowboat, for better headroom. Other than the cost you also have the problem of tungsten’s melting point being so high you can’t pour it into a boat hull without melting through.
