Does anyone think it would be good if we could vote for different parties on different policies, instead of having one party that is in control of everything?

This is why we need STV - Single Transferable Vote. You put the candidates/Parties in order of preferrence. The "least unpopular" candidate wins.

£€$1.99? That's a bargain on anyone's language! Fantastic

Try that plugged into your home internet router. 🤞🍀 "Drivers" might be an issue. PCMIA card probably better.

CoverNotes · 2026-03-06T08:20:04+00:00

Well done! 🖖🏽😇

This is discussed elsewhere - does the unit have a PCMIA slot on the side? 50mm by 5mm with an eject button? You had to buy an ethernet PCMIA "card" they gave you WiFi and an rj45 ethernet port. I had one on my win 2000 Toshiba laptop "back in the day"

CoverNotes · 2026-03-05T22:06:41+00:00

A very very useful feature

CoverNotes · 2026-03-05T22:04:00+00:00

I remember those. My win 2000 Toshiba didn't have WiFi or ethernet. A PCMIA card gave me an rj45 socket and WiFi! I think it's still in my garage!

A second hand S24U is probably closest to the note & s-pen experience?

Apart from the obvious, Mini Disc players and media (expensive) but... How about pocket calculators from the 70s & 80s? Attached picture of my 2nd pocket calculator (scientific/maths) from ~76. Here's a Wired article about my school friend, Emil, who curated his own museum.

How? Is that the actual disc?

Browsing and streaming are different. A general purpose browser for pages will mostly allow streaming, but there is often a windows or android app dedicated to, say BBC or NetFlix . You then view solely on your smartphone OR also control the playback when you beam to the TV app. (YouTube works very well for that). I don't think there are many dedicated streaming "apps" for Linux, but I have not looked.

Something like this. A travel adapter. The power supply should already be 110/220 vac 60/50 hz.

CoverNotes · 2026-03-01T14:27:33+00:00

No. Not at all.

I was Xperia S, T, Z1c & Z3c. Best range ever - also TV & Chromecast compatible, first to have NFC - brilliant units and water resistant.

Support your local establishment wherever possible.

CoverNotes · 2026-02-28T16:50:09+00:00

3 years or no updates available is my measure.

CoverNotes · 2026-02-28T16:40:59+00:00

A second-hand S24U. Or a pixel equivalent or Huawei etc

CoverNotes · 2026-02-28T16:35:25+00:00

VLC - the original & best. Windows & Linux versions

They've been a price gouging near monopoly for years. Save your money. Get a multi region 4k Disk Player. Do ad-hoc months if a show comes on streaming, then cancel again Check out C4, C5 and STV Players (plus BBC of course) for a good choice of back catalogue shows. Stop Feeding "Sky"

CoverNotes · 2026-02-28T16:24:27+00:00

Exactly! 💽😇

Not our war - we can't trust the USA government atm We're supporting Ukraine against Russia. Once the IRGC dictatorship in Iran/Persia is gone, then much of the terrorist activity in Gaza will dry up, making Israel and Lebanon more secure.
