Yes, building prisons is expensive. But the current UK government seems to treat it as a physical impossibility, while releasing violent offenders early due to lack of capacity.
Somewhat enjoyed the (less-visually-impressive) PC version way back in the day, there weren't many good shoot-em-ups on a 286 PC that could barely scroll the screen, but Silpheed played fairly well on it, and IIRC it…
The word 'colonization' has become rather toxic, though. Maybe we need a new word for occupying barren planets where there's no native life being displaced?
Make sure the progress comes from somebody who's hard-left politically. Then anything they do is OK with the lefties, and the right will still be OK with it if it's technology with economic benefits.
Those who need refuge from the worst Islamic regimes are the women, not the men.
And how far does historical responsibility go back? Do we need to figure out which caveman first figured out that a big stick was more effective than a fist, initiating the entire history of armed conflict?
They thought climate change was the next war-level crisis, and worked towards that. They didn't anticipate the Ukraine invasion, or the Middle East blowing up again.
No, it requires adhesive-removing chemicals, IPA as a bare minimum, dental floss, plastic prying tools, and some idea of battery safety (so you don't turn it into a fireball by trying to extract it aggressively with a…
The drone war will be quite limited by chip production. And once the chip fabs have been bombed, civilisation is set by by decades, and may end up fighting a lower-tech war.
> The left wing parties just wish to honour existing international treaties which we have signed to allow genuine asylum seekers. But these are treaties are no longer fit for purpose, as can be seen by the boatloads of…
War requires industry. But we've deindustrialised and outsourced the manufacture of almost everything to China.
This one could just be culture war stupidity, though (OpenMandriva has been promoted by certain individuals as a 'non-woke' distro)
Probably a reference to Helen Joyce, a prominent gender-critical author/activist. Formerly an editor at The Economist.
Especially those who planned to use a random password generator to come up with their brand name

I cancelled Game Pass when the recent price hikes quit. Then realised just how few games I'd actually bought this generation. Game Pass was a mistake, or at least putting big AAA releases on there on day one was.
Yet the biggest selling console of all time, the PS2, sold 160 million units.
How do those stats look 5 years later, when one is stuck with a degraded battery, and the other has had an easy battery swap?
5 years later, after a battery swap, the model with a replaceable battery has a longer battery life than the one stuck with a degraded battery.
Replacing a Switch 1 battery really annoyed me. No problem with tiny screws and fiddly disassembly. Big problem with the truly excessive amount and strength of adhesive holding the old one in place, and having a real…
It's not about games consoles. It's about reducing the mountains of e-waste. We shouldn't be throwing away laptops, smartphones, or consoles - or soon, entire EVs, just because the battery has degraded.
My day 1 Switch battery was definitely significantly degraded when I did a DIY battery swap a couple of years back. Battery longevity varies based on usage patterns and likely other factors (temperature?), but it's…
The Switch 1 is almost 10 years old. Batteries don't have that much longevity. And it was unnecessarily hard (actually dangerous due to fire risk) to replace it with a 3rd-party battery replacement due to excessive…
All the effort put in to stopping drivers distracting themselves with phones while driving, then we get big distracting touchscreens with apps front+centre in many new cars, and apparently that's OK.
The original 80s Darda cars were great fun, with enough power to get around great big loops. One of those childhood toys I wish I'd took more care of and kept hold of... They did still produce a version relatively…
