  • Government considers removing Andrew from royal line of succession

    Jump

  • I read an article that said that he hasn’t actually broken any UK laws to do with rape that we know of.

    From memory the main points were:

    • Virginia Giuffre was 17 when they met which is above the age of consent in the UK so he can’t get done for having sex with a minor.
    • Had he done what he did now, he’d have broken laws to do with sex trafficking but the laws weren’t strong enough back then so they don’t apply either.

    Obviously, what he did was wrong but that doesn’t mean that he can be prosecuted for it.

    I’m hoping that there’s stuff that we don’t know about that they’re preparing to prosecute him for.

  • Plug-in hybrids use three times more fuel than manufacturers claim, analysis finds

    Jump

  • I used to have a motorbike that I hardly ever used and it was so unreliable because of this. I ended up having to get rid of it in the end because it just wasn’t worth the effort for the amount of time that I used it.

  • US Bombs Somalia for 30th Time This Year

    Jump

  • Norway’s fault for choosing the wrong recipient for the Peace Prize. /s

  • Games you fell out of love with.

    Jump

  • Cyberpunk 2077. I played that game all the way through three times but lost the love for it when they completely reworked the talents for the DLC. I just couldn’t get back into it after that.

  • What's the best cat flap?

    Jump

  • That looks good. The current cats look very different from one another so I reckon that we’d only need three pictures to train it.

  • Control Resonant - Gameplay Reveal

    Jump

  • Unfortunately you can do damage after release so you’d need to be careful applying updates too.

  • What's the best cat flap?

    Jump

  • We don’t let our cats out at night so it would be great to have a cat flap that knew whether each cat was in the house or not and could either lock the flap or lock it on in-only at a certain time of day.

  • Ford falls behind China’s BYD in global sales for the first time

    Jump

  • They still make reasonably sized and priced cars for the UK market.

  • TikTok told by EU to change 'addictive design' or face fines

    Jump

  • It can’t though can it? It’s an ad delivery platform and its business model is to keep people watching ads just like all the other ad delivery platforms masquerading as social media.

  • Every shuffle of a deck of cards is most likely unique

    Jump

  • From a production point of view I think that it would be very difficult (which generally means expensive) to create a randomised deck while ensuring that the deck has all 52 cards in it (although I’m just thinking aloud and have no experience in this area so could be wrong)

    However, if the starting deck is truly random then the output of the shuffle would also be random so there wouldn’t be a bell curve.

  • TIL: Besides offering a free compromised email check, haveibeenpwned.com also offers a free password compromise checking service (It's also fun to see what weird passwords have been used/leaked.)

    Jump

  • A leak from there would be quite the blow to his reputation.

    I’m not so sure that it would be a huge blow. He’s only human and everyone is susceptible to the odd mistake.

    He did get phished last year and blogged about it after it happened which is the transparent approach that security experts say is the correct response. I’m pleased that he followed the advice that he gives to be honest and don’t think any less of him for suffering a breach.

  • This is crazy. Why don't you just take their car ?

    Jump

  • In the UK, you can get your license revoked for speeding. You can lose your license if you’re going a lot over the speed limit. If you’re going a bit slower you can get 3 or 6 points and if you get more than 12 points you also lose your license.

    It doesn’t seem to do a huge amount to discourage speeding in my experience.

  • Sometimes my code is like this....

    Jump

  • We had that in our DOS C code base. We didn’t have a debugger so we had a function that output debug messages to console if the debug flag was set.

    There were more than a few instances where a crash would stop happening if we added debug messages.

    We put it down to the linker rearranging modules to fit in memory as our exe was more than a megabyte in size.

  • France ditches Zoom and Teams for homegrown system amid European digital sovereignty push

    Jump

  • This isn’t that though. This is the state choosing to use different software themselves. They aren’t forcing them on anyone else.

  • Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?

    Jump

  • I’m pretty sure that Amazon also says that you can’t sell things on Amazon for more than you sell the same item elsewhere.

    I’ve certainly seen a video claiming that.

  • Trump's wide ambitions for Board of Peace spark new support for the United Nations

    Jump

  • The Board of Peace stinks to high heaven but the fact that Trump (not POTUS) is the chairman for life and is the only one who can choose his successor makes it irredeemably broken in my mind.

  • hello, yes this is dog

    Jump

  • Dogs are loving and affectionate by default but cats just need a bit of love and affection back to get there.

  • Belkin dropping support for most Wemo devices

    Jump

  • I have a Harmony hub and it’s still working. I just went into the config section of the app and it let me log in and that seemed to be functional too.

  • Removed

    Cringe

    Jump

  • I wonder if the answer is to either:

    • delete all posts and votes for accounts that are deleted when they are less than a day old (or whatever age works)
    • or delete all posts and votes made within a day of the account being deleted

    That second one protects against hacked accounts posting shit and then being deleted but I’m not sure if that’s a problem.
