- Comment on How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs? 1 week ago:
I don’t want to bring work into my home, plus I like meeting people. The only problem is the commute.
- Comment on How do you get into wild camping, it seems so overwhelming and a lot of information to try and gather? 3 weeks ago:
Just take the bare minimum and spend a night near your car or home, someone you can up and leave at 2am if you need to. Take a shit before you go.
There’s not really any surprises for what you need, just take a tent, sleeping bag, warm enough clothes, a little toilet paper, water and food (just take loads of cereal bars and stuff you don’t need to cook for the first time). The only other thing to take is bin bags so you can clean up any mess you make. You should leave the place you camp as if you were never there. No food on the ground, nothing. Don’t feed the animals.
If you’re feeling extravagant you can take some baby wipes and toothpaste/toothbrush for cleaning but don’t stress yourself on the first time. If you have a garden you can even camp in your garden for the first time just to get a feel for it.
- Comment on Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection? 1 month ago:
Your provider will just see encrypted traffic (mostly), so yes it will provide protection.
- Comment on British tech firm Raspberry Pi lines up £500m float 1 month ago:
But what are the other options that aren’t from some random Chinese company? I tried a Beaglebone but it was so slow at a similar price point.
- Comment on Northern Lights could be visible in England and Wales as severe solar storm to hit overnight 1 month ago:
Just to manage expectations, the northern lights don’t look nearly as good in real life. They look like night clouds.

Explain?
- Comment on I think an intern helps them tie their shoes too 2 months ago:
I once met a guy who made at least 20 times what I make and didn’t know how to spell dolphin. He was a bit better than me at trading commodities though.
- Comment on This shouldn’t be normalised 3 months ago:
I wonder how many people haven’t realised that the new Mail/Outlook client, the one they’re pushing everyone towards in Windows, actually syncs all your mail to MS servers.

Pterodactyls aren’t dinosaurs?
- Comment on Does anyone remember this game? 4 months ago:
ChatGPT says Battle Maze or Battle Arena.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid? 6 months ago:
You’re probably as stupid as the rest. I expect there’s loads of stuff you’ve just taken at face value that is completely wrong.
- Comment on Don't allow others to consume you... 7 months ago:
I think most people already do this.
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 8 months ago:
I’m pretty sure every other country in the world just uses an electric kettle. That will just emphasise the convenience of instant over ground coffee.
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 8 months ago:
It’s all I drink. But I only drink coffee for the caffeine, it all tastes like shit. If I want to enjoy it I have a cup of tea.
- Comment on This concept for budget double decker airline seating 8 months ago:
This actually looks like in a normal position the seat would be further back and give you a normal amount of face room. Looks like it’s on its way down to a lying position.
- Comment on England worst place in developed world to find housing, says report 8 months ago:
Nobody should be talking about building on the greenbelt, that’s the point of the greenbelt. Where I used to live in London the council was constantly trying to get permission to build on the greenbelt when 500m away there was a huge plot of dilapidated concrete, I guess where there used to be a factory or something. But they were constantly talking about the greenbelt.
