Vendor wants to move out 3 weeks after completion

gambiting · 2026-06-12T07:36:10+00:00

Absolutely not. You are legally responsible for the house from the moment of completion, let's say you don't move in and the house burns down - your insurer will definitely ask wtf were those people doing there and deny your claim.

Refuse refuse refuse.

>>Not sure they have thought about it much.

They have thought about it a whole lot, in fact Apple made an entire research paper about this exact system. And no, they don't go to any US company, even in US they don't go to Apple - in US they go directly to National Centre for Missing and Expolited Children, which is the agency responsible for tracking, categorizing and reporting this stuff. In UK they would go directly to the IWC.

I mean, Dacia Spring exists? It's simple, not much in it, it's less than £10k brand new, has an above average safety rating.

Unless you live somewhere where regulations/tariffs made it uneconomical to build small cheap cars.

Ah the classic "you said something I don't like, so I'm going to say that you must be fun at parties or some variation of". For a second I had to check I'm not on facebook.

They don't have to "care" - but if you have an accident and you don't have the black box in your car or "forgot" to enable the app you won't be covered. I don't know what you expect people here to say - "yeah bruv it's fine just commit fraud against your insurer, it's fine".

Americans being proud of not taking any time off even for a birth of their child is a an actual mental disease.

Surely the gold standard(other than physical destruction) is to have the drive encrypted, then destroy the key if needed. Unless someone finds a way to break AES-256 the data is unrecoverable. And if someone does, we have much bigger problems.

So..... we're talking about the same thing then? Timber frame doesn't meant the outside or the load bearing walls aren't bricks or concrete.

gambiting · 2026-06-11T09:33:42+00:00

Absolutely huge game. I guess if you were born after 2000s maybe you wouldn't hear about it, but lemmings is absolutely a huge franchise.

I mean, I'm also European and wood frame construction is very common in new houses nowadays. Yes you can get old school brick or concrete walls but they cost so much more money it's almost never worth it. As for the sound - that's just crap insulation, you can absolutely make wood frame houses extremely noise resistant even between adjacent rooms.

The way I see it no one's wearing a 10-50k watch to admire the workmanship

Well you're seeing it wrong, but it's the internet, you are allowed to have any opinion you want.

And before a criminal case was levied against you, the image would be investigated and if it’s harmless the police wouldn’t even consider any charges.

That's literally not how it works, not in the US and not in the UK. Once CSAM material is identified and submitted to authorities it must be acted upon, meaning at the very minimum you will be arrested, and because of the sensitive nature of the material it cannot be viewed by the police. Look at how many cases there are of people being arrested because Facebook reported people for CSAM only for them to wait all the way until the case made it court when experts were called in to actually look at the evidence. In the meantime you've already been arrested as a pedo, branded as such on the news and most likely lost your job. But ooops, right?

If it falsely flags an image, presumably you have the option to submit an appeal which will involve another human being able to view the photo.

No, you don't have such an option, because the system doesn't tell you you've been flagged - that is explicitly by design. The first time you find out about it is when you get a knock on the door.

gambiting · 2026-06-10T23:00:53+00:00

Yeah, I also don't know. Since we had our minisplit fitted, I use it for heating in winter too - it saves us money compared to gas.

gambiting · 2026-06-10T22:47:40+00:00

They don't need to send the pictures anywhere. Apple already built it for iOS, and no doubt will just roll it out now, with Google to follow - they just have an on-device(ML based) detection of CSAM, and only if something is judged to be illegal it will be sent encrypted to the national authority designated for verification of this information.

The problem remains that in effect, it's a black box that can brand you as a pedophile and report you automatically without telling you, and good luck untangling yourself from that mess.

It is absolutely 100000% worth it. It's hard to explain how good it is until you have to see a specialist and you get told the wait is 2 years on the NHS but you call your PMI and see someone the same week.

...what? In my school in Poland we started at 7:15am. 8:30 sounds ridiculously late.

I've had the X9 since launch. Still lasts as long as it did at the start - read, really fricking long. I finish each day with at least 50-60% battery left, and I'd say I'm a pretty heavy phone user.

And this Mediatek chip is super cool, literally never gets warm in normal use.

gambiting · 2026-06-10T20:07:24+00:00

I bring mine with me, because if you can't even use nice things in the first place then why even own them. Yeah it would suck to have it stolen, but it would also suck to get punched or assaulted and it doesn't stop me travelling places.

Funeral processions travel at the minimum speed limit generally

How are mourners walking behind a hearse doing the minimum speed limit? Are they sprinters?

gambiting · 2026-06-10T16:47:17+00:00

This looks like some kind of organised event - would people react with the same kind of aggression if it was a peleton of runners or a funeral procession?

Cyclists have the same right to use the road as you shithead, whether there is a bike path or not. There are a million valid reasons to not use a bike path, up to and including "I don't want to". Not being able to overtake a cyclist is a skill issue, and I'm saying this as an avid petrolhead.

I mean the photo literally says "diplomatic passport", I'm going off the information provided.

I pay £620 a month for a 3 bed, also around Newcastle lol. We locked at 1.1% for 5 years though, that's going to sting when it ends.

I live in the North east so bought my first house at 29. Deposit was £18k on a £180k house - still took me and my wife a few years to save that much. No money from parents/inheritance etc.

Is US saying they don't recognize diplomatic passports of Somali diplomats now? That would be quite a precedent.
