@teajaygrey @sundogplanets the cost of the fibre link is not mainly about the physical cable. The thing that takes time and money is getting permits for digging up roads, access through private fields, planning permission for connection points, and so on. And each new route of cable has to have this sorted from scratch, and some public authorities are slow, obstructive or just downright awkward.

The most annoying thing about corporate surveillance to me is the arrogance of the prediction mechanisms.@SuperMoosie @pheonix Maybe you were intending to breed kettles? I'm sure there's a way to monetise that...

I tip my hat to #Bose for giving owners of soon-to-be End of Life/support speakers the garantuee that the devices will continue to function and giving them the information needed to collectively build new tools to do even more with them.@jwildeboer Yes; it proves that other companies can do the same. We need to legislate to make sure they do. The documentation could be uploaded at time of production to a locked database, that unlocks automatically if the producer goes into liquidation or is bought out. Too many good products are deliberately sabotaged by the manufacturer at the end-of-life to get people to buy new replacements. I'm not under the impression that Bose have done this for any reason other than good PR, though.

Personally I always had issues with the concept of a "country" and "borders"@stux this is what many indigenous peoples always found difficult to believe, that, just by claiming a place where you happen to be, you reduce the rights of anyone who steps there in future.

I only flew once in my life to Dublin and back and that's all within Europe so minimal checks@stux These 'well you must have something to hide' people presumably don't close the cubicle door in toilets, or close their curtains, and have transparent walls on their houses, no doors or locks...

Spot the differences@stux Easy - the one on the right is slightly better suited to put rubbish in, whereas the one on the left has been driven by rubbish...
