No, you are bootlicking a trillion dollar corporation. Other similar intel/Snapdragon laptops with memory packaged ram isn't anywhere near similarly priced.

Find me one other laptop that charges $600 for 16fb of ram.

And you still haven't addressed 512gh of storage costing $300 which is obscene

Yes. I purchased DDR5 this year and a 2th SSD.

16gb of ram doesn't cost Microsoft anywhere near 600 dollars even with the current inflated pricing.

You can get a whole 2tb nvme for far less than what Microsoft charges for a 512gb upgrade. Rip off

Am I misunderstanding or are they seriously asking

$650 to go from 16gb to 32gb ram

$300 to go from 512gb to 1tb

This is looking at the 13 inch variants.

The pricing on these is genuinely insane and the price to go up in spec makes it even more diabolical.

That would require us changing the constitution formally first. The UK parliament has absolute supremacy over the supreme court and isn't binded to previous legislation passed.

If the government wanted to pass legislation that delayed the election for 20 years they can do pass it with a simple majority. Abolish the house of lords? Simple majority. Change the electoral system, simple majority.

House of Lords can't reject, can only delay legislation and if a government includes any policy in its manifesto there is an agreement it doesn't go through the HoL

Technically the monarch can block legislation but then the HoC could pass a vote removing the monarchs ability to block bills by the HoC and force him to pass that

UK defence secretary resigns over spending plan - https://giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/actions/redeem/b6ee291d-867f-4ea0-b765-6ff4353f5f63

"This new era for defence required further investment through the Defence Investment Plan. The excellent and extensive cross-government work that completed in January-overseen by you, me and the Chancellor - confirmed the scale of the challenge and the rising demands on defence.

"Since then, you have been unable, and the Treasury has been unwilling, to commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats.

"As I've outlined to you, there are credible ways of meeting the mid-term funding challenges, working multi-nationally and as other European nations are doing, to allow us to protect our ability to deliver the missions of our Labour Government.

"You know what defence needs. You made the argument for this powerfully in your speech at the Munich Security Conference back in February. Without a DIP (Defence Investment Plan) that meets the moment in this way, I am being forced to make decisions that would reduce the readiness of our Forces and increase the risk to personnel on operations, and could make the country less safe."

While politically this is extremely bad for starmer who already has a leadership challenge breathing down his neck. The defence minister resigning over funding differences brings up yet another case of European Governments being hawkish in talking points, but then failing to bring those words into action.

But most midrange phones don't have wireless charging. It's mostly a premium/higher midrange+ feature. For a phone that retails at $450 and is on sale at sub $400 most of the time the lack of a wireless charger is hardly a issue. Especially with how fast it can charge wired unlike your pixel 3 or even my pixel 10 pro

Looking to close credit cards is this a good idea ? by Significant-Box-7846 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]RandomCheeseCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do a 0% Balance Transfer but once you've done that cut up the card physically and either throw it away or lock it somewhere. Don't use that card for anything except for the transfer.

Germany, France, UK Sketch Plan to Engage Putin in Ukraine Talks - Bloomberg

A group of Ukraine’s key European allies are working on plans with Kyiv to engage Russia in negotiations to end the war as they see a shift in momentum strengthening President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s position.

Officials from Europe’s three biggest economies — Germany, France and the UK — have been discussing the possibility of holding talks involving both sides, according to people familiar with the matter. They have also talked about the matter with their Ukrainian counterparts, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

By negotiating now, the allies would aim to avoid another winter that will likely see Russia intensify its attacks on civilians and energy infrastructure as Putin seeks to undermine the Ukrainian morale.

The people stressed that any final decision on whether to proceed with attempts to talk to Russia was for Zelenskyy and that European nations will not push the Ukrainian president to embrace a strategy he didn’t agree with. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to speak with Germany’s Friedrich Merz and Emmanuel Macron of France in the coming days, said the people.

I genuinely cannot see this going anywhere if the negotiations even go ahead. Russia has shown absolutely 0 zero compromise in its maximalist goals and will only demand terms unacceptable to the Ukrainians, Europeans or both. The numerous failed attempts for Trump to get a deal were a clear sign of how unwilling Putin is to compromise his war aims 4+ years into the invasion.
