The Govt. demanded recently that Apple give them a back door into icloud (possibly connected to the Britcard thing ?) Apple refused and say they will never comply.
Unrelated to digital ids, and has been going on since the previous government.

The US and EU have tried to enforce similar, and when they legally have to provide such access, Apple remove access to that feature in that region.  Hence, and it pains me to say, Apple are most likely one of the good guys in that respected.

i try to avoid Ebay if i possibly can.  :D

Get TB to do it for you. He is a big fan. Loves the place. :)
Fair play to them, one of the orders this week arrived exactly as expected.

The other 2 are late, because despite ordering on Sunday, they were only given to the courier late yesterday.  Fast and Free my arse!

The absolute breakwit who designed the BMW E90.

No less than 20 screws to hold the front bumper on, including 6 in the wheel arch that have to be removed to access the two that screw into the wing but can't be undone because the spring clips that they screw into just spin without releasing. And don't get me started on the use of random 11 and 12mm bolts or the bolt at the back of the headlight that screws up into the wing... >:(

Apple are probably in on it.
I think most people know I hate Apple with a vengeance*, but they are quite good at fighting off such stupidity, so methinks you are talking crap ;)


*despite having an iPhone, iPad, iPod, Macbook and Mac Mini - turns out I just hate Windows 11 even more ;D
Time will tell. I am on my second work iPhone. It's easier to use my personal Sony phone for pretty much everything except for a couple of very specific Apps that work simply won't allow access to from personal devices. And I deeply resent the fact that my work Office 365 account trumps my personal one on my personal phone. But that's a fight for another day.

Connected to terrorists and criminals, initially. But these things have a habit of expanding and morphing into something much bigger.

My Dad's choice of ciggy was Capstan Full Strength .... unbelievably, he's still here (though hasn't now smoked anything for some years)

and likewise, I used to go to the corner shop for them for him ....

My Granny used to send me to the corner shop to buy them for her when I was about 7 years old.  ;D
She smoked 80 of them a day.
It wasnt a big shock when she died of lung cancer at 68.
