iPhones are predominantly made in China

Foxconn facilities in cities like Zhengzhou (known as "iPhone City") and Shenzhen.

If one were to stand would Farage take part in question time...?

As I have some questions for him :)

"ship the thing they think is wrong and let reality settle it"

Sorry this just does not work... if what is being shipped is harmful to your own work or the rest of the company I feel I should speak up.

Sometimes the person/people normally doing ego defending often tries to blame everything/one else over their view or project.

If someone is trying to defend a telnet session into a banking server, live on the internet in 2026 then hey dude this has to be called out. (( I am not saying I have been in this position in 2026 )) but even the year I was in this position it was 100% unacceptable and needed fixing. <very simple example>

terminal is the only way for me... 100% control year after year.

"Americans live in one of the most prosperous and advanced societies in the world" for only a small % of the people that live in America!

1 - 2 million people are homeless!

What next mr south african, will go for 100 trillion?

$7.01 trillion

A deficit occurs when the federal government’s spending exceeds its revenues. The federal government has spent $1.25 trillion more than it has collected in fiscal year (FY) 2026 - another 1.25 trillion to go for the second half of the year.

spacewalk for 2026 :)

just 7-8 thinkpads is not an addiction :)

the ultimate virus! give us ( three or four companies ) all your data...

PageSetter 2/3 (can't remember which version got me my first job, from a cover disk), Page Stream 3, Professional Page :)

We should have also been talking about "devops slop" since 2007! it's good enough we have heard this for how many decades?

ok so some people call it "brittle" it's 2026, what would impress were if people raised the issues and helped fixing them!

writing in another language, how much more complexity do you want to introducing :)

I believe bash scripts can be anything you want them to be, if they are useful to you then happy day's.

if you hit performance issues or want to experiment else where cool.

error handling in ruby is almost impossible

error handling in python is wildly hit and miss

error handling in golang is rather annoying

error handling in powershell, good luck you will need it

error handling in perl ok i'll stop now you probably get the picture.

works for me on linux firefox, chrome and brave

"one of the greatest societies in the world" - erm lol dude...

There's only one way to stop this, protesting is fine but the only way to make the point is for each state or the whole of USA to go on strike! not just for one day but weeks / months! every working person that thinks this is deranged it's only the start.

If your government can go on strike for weeks and months, why can't the normal people?

hope you are getting paid 50x more than 5 years ago

hope you are getting 50x more value

:) good luck you will need it :)

please give us $200 ;) but sorry we can't even get the title right!

- if governement is down does that mean citzans do not have to pay any taxes

- All US workers need to go on strike until you get a government that works for the whole population ;)

Some of the solution(s) have already been played out a few times, we humans use our imagination(s). Everything that has been built with computers was just an idea a few decades ago.

In the 80's there were a few slices of thoughts, why are you interested in computers? They won't go very far... or we don't know how to make money from them...

IT, Computing, the Internet has for the last 25-30 years been stuck thinking about shopping and billing.

The brute force statistical copy and paste we see today, it may or may not replace a large part of the internet systems, but there were always many other aspects of computing or the world that computers could be used for that have hardly been touched.

To any social media platform's (if any of them can really be called this) that are saying they can not or will not police their own platform's of dangerous content, really you will be held responsible!

Just because the big IT corp's might become blinded they will live in fear of being on the brink of extinction, if they replace the creative people or their customer's. To the CEO's and management sucking billion's/trillion's of dollars out of the market(s) this can't continue.

There has to be change(s) because we have boxed ourselves into weird position(s), i.e always chasing the cash cows.

We are not even at the start of what's possible, what "people" will/could create in the next 50 years, with the right levels of education and inspiration the computing world will most likely not be stopping or slowing down any time soon.

I might be biased as the A600 was the first computer I bought with my own money, but there was no way I would have bought a 386SX over the A600.

This article is so tilted towards the American market and that's fine.

I used to play Wolfenstein 3D on a friend's PC. They certainly did not pay anything like what I had, but within a year or so they would have had to upgrade as well. The thing is I could do more with my A600 than most people who used a pc. One the games were there and the games were great to play, the first game I bought for the A600 was almost all I needed for Sensible Soccer, soon to be upgraded to SWOS. but there were probably 50 - 100 games that were just amazing. Photo and Video Editing, Making Music all in 1992 in fact the A600 kept me going way into 1999. I then bought a A1200 but it was not the same...

Saga and Nintendo were the challange to the Amiga, I am not saying Doom did not have a big effect but I think we just assumed there would be a release at some point.

Three words, plug and play!

I do wish Commodore would have released the A1200 in the A600's package if they had. I probably would not have been able to buy it.

I got an Amiga Format magazine in the hope that the 3 half inch disks would fit into my home computer. (( they didn't half an inch out )) lol It showcased the A600 and the style of the machine was so much better for the time than the A500 it looked sharp and new I ended up buying it within weeks or month or so.

The A500, A600 and A1200 are all prone to discoloration....

I still have two A600's and one A1200 and all of them are still working, not bad for a computer that is 33 years old and took a battering for many years.

How many global religions that date back a few weeks or so, are all wanting to be on the same postage stamp within Alaska?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Israel

Alaska's first census in 1880 counted 33,426 people! Alaska had 731,007 residents on July 1, 2019, size 663,268 square miles.

There's about 1.7 million displaced people in Gaza today, size 2,260 square miles

I am not sure where the information was gained, but I believe this is only a fraction of the overall costs for an organisation. (probably limited number of account(s)).

are we sure its not just a spreadsheet?

they must be working on the demo as its down...

Congratulations Jakob on your Liberation Day :)

Are you saying the UI is your fault ;-)

Serious question though: how come over the last 15 to 20 years UI's have got considerably worse?

"If it catches fire, the whole parking lot is done"

haha well Luton Airport fire was not caused by an EV !! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-67077...

The risks are going in the opposite direction with lifepo4 batteries this reduces by a large margin (( far better than petrol and diesel )), then the next step is semi-solid state batteries and then solid state.

Just no contest...

"can't be fixed" well insureance companies will need to be forced to make sure they are fixed !!! it's poor regulations that are causing this not the tech!! standard and modular replaceable batteries problem solved and this also reduces prices.

"Well at least the govt is actually doing something."

Yeah they are doing something, they are causing the issues !!! so they can say we are doing something!

They are wasting time, money and energy! with minimal action(s).

in two to four years there is going to be a "massive" energy shock to uk energy supply by total lack of planning and action(s) by this very government!

The goal(s) are to outsource everything and say it was not out problem(s) and play a blame game!

black removed its own queen when I placed its king into checked :P then it moved its king from check to the space to the left staying in check :) :P

impressive but the graphics need to be much bigger.

Would be good to have some indication that is is my move and show the move that the chess.sed made, would also be good to place all moves into chess.log :P
