  • Wealthy parents rush to give children their assets as tougher UK inheritance tax rules loom

    Jump

  • I understand the complaints when it comes down to family businesses, it's not just wealth, it's the business. Getting a loan against the company big enough to pay the tax bill could be difficult/unaffordable.

    Maybe there should be an option to give a share of the company to the taxman as collateral and split the bill over years or something.

    See the Samsung inheritance tax debacle to see the extremes of this kind of stuff.

  • Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency

    Jump

  • Ok, they are getting down votes, but technically true?Yes they reinstated it, but they assume guilt rather than check first?

    I assume that they have a level of trust in the reporter, that hopefully they will not extend next time. I guess they must get a lot of these, and that failing to block spammers means they may lose trust of other email servers?

  • Nepal’s Gen Z picks new leader on Discord, crypto community in shock

    Jump

  • Wtf, discord is a gaming/chat platform, not a crypto app.

    And a 7000 voter discord vote probably means piss all.

  • How do we feel about IKEA?

    Jump

  • It's a range. IKEA somehow sells stuff to both students furnishing their first house, all the way up to well off retirees fitting out their holiday home.

    You can get some piss cheap chipboard stuff, or you can get solid oak, or anything in between. You get what you pay for.

  • Which TV brand is the most reliable in your experience?

    Jump

  • Sounds like the OP has a backlight failure though? That's a non oled failure.

  • Why is it so hard to get friends to leave Discord, WhatsApp, Instagram, and others? Anyone else feel this?

    Jump

  • Partially, it's because the incumbent platforms are just much better.... Discord is really good.

    I have got some people to move to signal though. I don't touch Facebook messenger.

  • NVIDIA Discrete GPU Market Share Dominance Expands to 94%, Notes Report

    Jump

  • It's a wafer allocation game for them too.

  • There should be age walls for some stuff. What that stuff is and how the walls work is up for debate.

    In this situation (a store) using a payment method as the age wall works well. In other use cases it would not be as good.

    If you could pass an age wall with no privacy loss, then most people wouldn't have a problem with it (other than mild annoyance)

    IMO: the new law is overreaching, they needed to set up privacy protecting ID verification system first if they were going to go that far. It's an own goal so far....

  • What are you trusting them with? Most people have already given steam this information.

  • Screenshot is from here

    It's the best option I can think of, no privacy invasive stuff etc. My only concerns are:

    A) if it's good enough for the government

    B) That it requires you to have a credit card.

  • Nvidia N1X CPU leak unveils RTX 5070-sized integrated GPU - OC3D

    Jump

  • They obviously think there is a market for it, but they have a habit of making/developing their own markets.

  • Water Boil Advisory

    Jump

  • Junk mail manages it? I imagine it's not hard to say to the postal service, here are 5000 flyers, please give everyone one.

  • The world's largest sand battery just went live in Finland

    Jump

  • Anywhere with municipal heating really.

    I can see the middle being 600C, the edges are probably cooler.

  • The world's largest sand battery just went live in Finland

    Jump

  • The ground is.... 4C or something? Would it lose more heat more easily to the solid ground, than to the air?

    Its probably easier to keep it dry above ground too.

  • What are some chill sports?

    Jump

  • Badminton is NOT a low cardio sport. For me anyway.

  • Public transport cost pushes Britons to fly abroad for day trips

    Jump

  • You are correct, but I think the airports are privately owned though, it's just they need a lot less to maintain them in relative terms.

  • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Could Be Getting A Sequel Or DLC

    Jump

  • It does get harder later, I had to leave areas to level some more/rebuild characters. Some areas are just weak/strong Vs some builds too.

    I still haven't finished it either, actually act 2 seems to go on forever (don't even know if it's the last act).
