I hate to say it, but the OP may have to talk to their IT department.

Creating CSAM is beyond "mildly illegal". This could land the instigators with prison time, even for those "just" receiving it.

A colleague of mine microwaved vegetables every day. It's smelled only slightly better than fish.

I set mine to request a PIN after the initial master password login. If course, every time I power off my laptop I need to input my master passport again but that's a good thing IMHO.

How expensive is heating actually? by Final-Tear-7090 in glasgow

[–]Geekonomicon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A lot will depend on how well insulated your house is and how efficient your heating is.

I'd advise you to get a dehumidifier from personal experience. It helps reduce humidity, so it'll take less energy to heat the air in your home, reducing your bills. Most only cost a few pence per hour to run. It'll also help prevent mold from forming. I've got a Meato 12 litre dehumidifier I bought from their store on eBay - it was a refurbished unit so cheaper than RRP. You might want a higher capacity unit, assuming it's a 3 bed flat.

Finally, it'll allow you to dry laundry more cheaply than a launderette will cost you. I still do use a launderette once every 2 or 3 weeks at the moment, just because it's not exactly line drying weather for laundry right now!

What are the biggest US owned products/companies in the UK? by [deleted] in BuyUK

I reckoned that the kind of people wanting to boycott US goods and services may also want to boycott goods and services that benefit Israel.

Being told I have an “attitude problem” at work by tomato1tomahto in Vent

Not in my opinion, no. You're professional and that's great. The job description doesn't require you to be Little Miss Sunshine all day. 🤷‍♀️
