And don’t forget the rootkit debacle.

I’m on ps5 but the upcoming psn price hike is putting me off after reluctantly paying it the last 2 years. A steam console (I think I saw ‘leaked’ recently) sounds ok if it can play GOG/owned stuff too.

Agreed. UK’s NHS is a poor shadow of its former glory due to Tory/right cuts and desperation to privatise. And just a decade ago the (IMHO awesome) 2012 Olympic opening ceremony showing our thanks and respect… 😭

Ignoring people!

Grumpy, Doc, Sneezy, I definitely forget the rest though.

Thanks for your helpful comments. I’ll give it a go and hope I can stick with it. I did read the first 6 books before I gave up as that could have been half the length with a good editor. What is it with these ‘blockbuster’ adaptations that can’t stick to the story or characters or pacing. The wooden acting/script doesn’t help at times either. Not saying I could do better but when you’re told they spent so many millions on it… Prime’s LOTR suffered a similar fate and I only managed 3 episodes of that.

Has anyone watched ep 1-3 yet? How was it, considering series 1 was a bit underwhelming I thought.

Yep, UK are trying to do the same, also Conservatives! 👎

Same here, must be over 50 times since 99 when it first came out on dvd. Most of those in the first few years showing off my flash new dual disc dvd player!

Solar sounds great. I have a Garmin FR55 and linked it to an old phone with no sim and a throw away email account, so it just syncs each time I get back from a run. Lasts a week even with gps during runs. Also turned off all notifications as I hate that. I stopped wearing a watch about 20 years ago but this (after a bit of getting used to) is actually quite useful.

That and Gimp together are excellent.

How about GNU/Linux?

Waking up this morning, or maybe something important from yesterday if I concentrate… 🤔 how did I get here?
