My dad used to write mainframe OSs but the firm rented them out, inevitably at the time to blue chip FTSE 100 type clients. So their software was ultra-tight and staggeringly reliable - and cash flow consequentially bulletproof. Totally different model (financially & programming) to MS.
Though the better written the software is in the first place the less need there should be for the first two… (MS was very much a “pile em high’n’sell em cheap” operation originally and don’t seem to have shifted approach to accommodate a long term customer-service focused relationship)
(I’ve a vague recollection that some of the signage on UK railways is still done in chains as well)
Horse racing is measured in furlongs in all civilised societies.
And apparently in the US.
One would have thought the Spotlight tool might help, but a quick Google suggests it only works "live" & doesn't affect recording *in Teams*; don't know if it would do the trick for what Panopto records?
Is it possible to edit the whole thing in a separate video editing package & if necessary re-import? [so could blur/replace the nametag]? Have done similar with A Capella recordings in the past, adding extra soundtracks in Da Vinci BlackMagic on top of the "finished" article.
One of my greatest regrets is that Ricard Pacific is virtually unobtainable in the UK. (There is a supplier in London who'll deliver, but it's a "several bottles once a year" thing)
Any experts or specialists in UN law? Please DM for something I am writing on Iran.
I have mine somewhere; always got the letters mixed up but the actual number bit was 373.
Averaage age of deaths in rural labourers in Rutland in Chadwick's 1842 report was 37. Which sounds bad until you compare it to results for factory workers in Manchester at the same time; average age of death was 17.
DO IT FOR THE DOGGIES
(and their people, obviously)
BUT FOR THE DOGGIES
I know what I'm doing this Saturday then!
Fun fact: they evolved before bees did, so are pollinated by beetles.
Maybe they're using "lap" in the same sense as "lap dog"?
Oh no... I've awoken the Brother Laser Printer crew
*mutes thread in perpetuity*
;-)
tbh for the amount of stuff we scan at home I'm inclined to just take digital photos & convert to pdf if needed. (moving an SD card from DSLR to PC is so much easier than spending 10 minutes getting the PC to find the printer/scanner in the first place *before* I get cross about the app)
I'm so old I can remember when you bought a scanner and could simply plug it into your PC and use it to scan documents.
Instead of having to log into someone's cloud based app, so I no longer know where my confidential documents (which I'll be zipping & passwording before emailing) are going.
I thought that was where the house that moved ended up? So changed since 1810! (As has the map of where it used to be of course)
24 West street for starters?
Would I be right in guessing that's porridge made the way my grandmother did it?
Just back from a streamlined, tech enabled trip to buy lunches(2 Tesco meal deals). Got to till & bar code label was missing from 1 snack. Instead of getting another and scanning that we had to wait while cashier & supervisor found bar code in phone app to scan screen. Took maybe 4 times as long?
Bet they don’t play the whole of Easter.
Find a concert near you this weekend on Continuo Connect!
Those all important stage times for Rm 2 tonight.
Doors - 7:45pm
Project Overload - 8:30pm

Tickets on the door. If you are under 25 or on a low income, you have still got a few hours to pick up an 'Art is for Everyone' ticket for just £5 from Seetickets.
Also, "Put all your money in deck-chairs and RayBans"
Not so much "hit the ground running" as "slam into the quicksand flailling".
Variety is the spice of life; tbh I only recognise five of the titles in your list and would probably have struggled to date any of them to closer than a couple of decades.
And yet I've two staggeringly talented daughters and am about to retire to bed where I will sleep soundly (if not deservedly)
A few years ago my 80-something father, who wrote mainframe OSes in the '60s & '70s, apologised that the laptop we'd lent him to check his emails while visiting had frozen.
Turned out he was swiping on the (non-touch) screen which was all we could afford.
(See also: not all pensioners are starving)
One of my favourite memories is that my Dad borrowed this book when his company was floating on the London stock exchange, and used to casually drop it on the table in meetings with the bankers & brokers.
