- Comment on Should I use a "proper" password manager instead of Firefox? 4 days ago:
It’s good for some stuff - it means you get strong unique passwords for sites etc.
BUT
The fact it auto completes basically means that if someone gets access to your phone/computer while it’s logged in, they can log into anything. (A password is normally required to actually VIEW them? - maybe not on desktop!)
I use the built in manager for most days to day stuff, but anything financial or non browser based is stored in keepass. It’s a bit annoying, but way more secure that way.

Do I need to have played the first one to play the second one?
- Comment on World's longest coastal path opens in England to the public 1 week ago:
Apparently Wales already has a complete coastal path, so you have to walk the entirety of Wales before getting to 8!
- Comment on World's longest coastal path opens in England to the public 1 week ago:
It (mostly) gives access between the path and the sea too! Rules are here: gov.uk/…/manage-your-land-on-the-england-coast-pa…

It’s there! The theme sub menu is at the top, I missed it the first time.
- Comment on Car park firm NCP collapses with nearly 700 jobs at risk 2 weeks ago:
They didn’t own the car parks, they leased them on long, expensive leases they couldn’t get out of, or sell.

Yeh, see how Brakspears did after they moved their brewery…
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 5 weeks ago:
If, hypothetically, France put a tax on electricity from fast chargers for example - you would be double paying that milage.
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 5 weeks ago:
I can see that causing a proliferation of illegal GPS jammers.
… And lots of stories about the government having gos trackers in all electric cars
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 5 weeks ago:
With this, you would potentially be double(or triple if you include road tax itself) dipping on tax though. You would be paying for milage + Irish tax on ‘fuel’ when filling up in Ireland.
With petrol, you would be paying Irish tax filling up & driving there, not both.
- Comment on Rural drivers to face steepest bills under UK’s mileage-based electric vehicle tax 5 weeks ago:
What about anyone that drives abroad? You would accrue English road tax for driving on french or Irish roads!

- Comment on Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to market plant-based products in UK 1 month ago:
That doesn’t stop them from calling the product “oat milk” though does it?

Nepal or something wasn’t it?
- Comment on Is My Pub Fucked? 2 months ago:
One nearish me closed overnight after the announcement of the higher tax. Just decided it wasn’t viable.
Don’t think it was that popular to be fair.
- Comment on Tried to carefully install the faucet immediately after gluing and caulking the sink 2 months ago:
Depends on the angle of the flow out of the tap. I switched out a tap with an identical looking replacement, that just had a 20 degree or so andle on the plastic spout bit that made a huge difference.
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 2 months ago:
I don’t think rice requires water? It just tolerates it fine, so it’s useful for pest/weed control?
- Comment on VR is an absolute game changer for racing games 2 months ago:
If you have a gyroscopic controller, you can use it like a steering wheel too!
- Comment on VR is an absolute game changer for racing games 2 months ago:
Also - close your eyes if you are about to crash or spin!
… I should try it out again, see if there are enough games out there to make valves new headset worth it.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses a GOTY award over use of gen AI 3 months ago:
E33 wasn’t advertised, it was a slow burn of purchases.
Do we know their sales figures?

I know it’s mentioned in the book ‘a thousand years of annoying the french’, along with all of their other British related colonial mishaps. Great read!
- Comment on Is there a uBlock Origin filter or extension for LLM slop in search results 3 months ago:
YouTube has a great algorithm, in that it mostly seems to show you stuff you actually want to watch, and let’s you say you don’t like stuff.
You can train it with a little effort to show you what you want.
You just can’t make the shorts go away, even with premium!
- Comment on Bread mold 3 months ago:
Often because there are breadcrumbs etc in there, or other contaminants.
If it’s gone fully mouldy, bin it obviously.

It’s now a requirement to be able to book appointments online I believe?
- Comment on Bread mold 3 months ago:
I thought that jams were so sugary it was probably fine?
- Comment on 3 months ago:
My point was basically that this can happen to you too, and if it couldn’t, people would complain anyway.
No need to call people morons over it.
