  I think this would probably be covered by unsporting behaviour or dangerous play.

  There might be some stuff that would consider the ball out of play in this scenario too as no specific player has possession, but that might be a stretch

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At least, yeah. The estimated lifetime for pressed consumer compact disks is 30-100 years, assuming a bell curve distribution, you should get at least that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any open source ATM machine ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah if it’s not owned by a bank, it will be owned by an institution that runs (or otherwise has access to) a proprietary interbank network. In most countries consumer financial services are super regulated legally, so everything gets locked down

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any open source ATM machine ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there’re a few crypto based ones out there from when people were trying to make bitcoin in shops a thing, no idea if they’re even still maintained.

  If you’re talking about a traditional ATM that hooks into a specific bank or interbank network, you’re not going to find a complete system, because the banks basically only want machines they (or partnered banks) own talking to their systems.

  Depending what you’re interested in though, Linux based OSes seem to be becoming increasingly used, but there’s still probably a big majority running some form of windows (or funnily enough OS/2). And a quick Google has shown me the industry has seemingly actually worked out an SDK for talking to the ATM hardware that’s catching on, XFS4IoT. However the software written by the bank to implement that SDK and actually talk to the banking network is (and basically always will be) proprietary software.

  You don’t need to, just the one mentioned in my first comment

  I’d say 70% of the journey between London and Manchester the signal you get is bad enough that it’s unusable.

  You then proceeded to tell me I was entitled, despite apparently not knowing what you were talking about

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Four in 10 struggle to access mobile signal on the move in the UK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not the route I’m talking about though is it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Four in 10 struggle to access mobile signal on the move in the UK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not entitled to expect to get what I pay for

  And I’m not even expecting flawless. I’m just expecting it to work enough to be able to do my job

  The second half is such a non sequitur that you might as well be trolling

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Four in 10 struggle to access mobile signal on the move in the UK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I expect bad signal on a train, but that’s not because I want it, it’s because I know from past experience that the service is sub-par.

  I need the signal often because I’m trying to work on the train. But it’s also nice to be able to message the people I’m meeting on the other end if not working.

  I’d say 70% of the journey between London and Manchester the signal you get is bad enough that it’s unusable.

  I pay for phone service, I expect it to work without arbitrary conditions based on them being too cheap to put up enough masts to provide what they sell me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an introvert⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m an ambivert. I’m also not particularly into watching a good percentage of sports, but I’ll pretty much go to anything if a friend asks if I want to join them going to an event or even just watch it with them somewhere.

  Doesn’t really just apply to sports either, up for anything really: gigs, art exhibitions, hikes, cinema, visiting a random town for some reason, you name it.

  Firstly, I can’t exactly knock something until I’ve given it a good go, but more importantly for me, it’s time I get to spend with one/some of my mates and might result in some good memories. Reminder that introversion is not the same thing as social anxiety, introverts generally also like to hang out with their friends.

  Plus I also like photography, so random days out are a good way to get pictures you wouldn’t otherwise.
