  The original switch also had an option with grey joy cons

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Private parking rules review prompted by £2,000 five-minute fine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember: If they can use ANPR to send you a large fine, they could just use it to charge you for the parking in the first place. The only reason they don’t is corporate greed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old fashioned⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would argue that keeping your own digital library on a home server is “better” (more convenient) than a bunch of discs that will also degrade over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New plans to ensure the BBC’s financial sustainability set out by the Culture Secretary⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are only two actions that require a TV license:

  • Using BBC iPlayer for any reason
  • Watching live broadcast TV from any source

  YouTube does not have a broadcasting licence (granted by Ofcom) so YouTube live streams do not count as broadcast TV.

  At least I’m pretty sure that’s how that works

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cost of ‘bat shed’ to protect colony near HS2 has topped £100m, chair says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve heard of “Bike Shedding” (wasting time arguing about a pointless tangent)

  Now get ready for “Bat Shedding” (wasting money arguing about a pointless tangent)

  “Critical thinking skills only count if they’re MY critical thinking skills” do they not see the irony?
