I can't stand comments like this that obviously miss the overall point being made and tbh it is entirely done disingenuously. The terms of service are not in anyway enforced consistently or fairly. The way the terms and…
There are plenty of jobs in and around Manchester. South East is expensive and you wouldn't catch me going anywhere near London for any reason what-so-ever.

People see all of the simplicity through rose tinted spectacles. Copy and pasting bits of HTML around was a chore and was prone to error. No decent source control (the source control at the time was garbage and tbh was…
If you print money, you will typically create inflation. Which pushes prices up. Yes you can mitigate the effects for quite a while by exporting inflation and other tricks but all you are doing is kicking the can down…
Everyone always talks about London, but misses out some of the other cities/large towns. Manchester maybe a better option than London. Manchester is cheaper and has almost all the things you want from London without a…
Yes. Believe it or not, not doing something is better than doing something that will definitely have a detrimental effect. I am almost in my 40s now and one thing I've recently learned is that sometimes it is better not…
I was out of work during lock-down (I was a consultant) and being out of work for 8 months almost crushed me when I came back to work because I had to remind myself how to do some relatively simple things (e.g. how do I…
Unfortunately people have to get an important idea in their head. The police are not there to help you for the most part. In the UK we call the Police the filth for good reason. Law enforcement's job is to incriminate…
> There is nothing that you can do about it, so people are just apathetic. Just to expand on this. It is just recognising the state of current situation. A lot of people in the UK support the state in some form or…
If health care was properly private (not pseudo private) it would be really cheap. I had private health care in Spain / Gibraltar and it was relatively quite cheap. The NHS is a massive money sink that always requires…
Getting people to move from something like Whatsapp to Signal is almost impossible. I have no intention of even living in the UK in the next few years to probably one of the overseas territories again (they are starting…
I don't want to be "blackpilled" about it. But there is literally nothing that can be done about it. None of the politicians in the UK seem to care about freedom of speech, right to privacy or anything else that is…
Someone always pulls out a C64 demo. This is using a bunch of tricks to do it and it is massively compressed. It generally isn't doable. My Amiga 600 without the Vampire or a Prisma Megamix cannot play MP3s of decent…

Just tried it. It appears I am using cross-dos. I've still never had any luck with USB drives though (just tried a USB floppy I have as well).
The capacity isn't the problem. It is the direct write access. If it is USB it tends not to have direct hardware access and it won't work no PC format disk e.g. the ADF Amiga format. If I use a real floppy disk…
USB floppy disk drives are only any good at reading and writing 1.44mb disks. If you need a 720k disk for something like an Amiga/Atari ST they don't work IME (some people have claimed otherwise but I've never had any…
