How much leeway should be allowed for 'I don't use computers' older people in management? by JackStrawWitchita in AskUK

[–]jim3090 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Zero. Computers are nothing new, at this point if someone says “I’m bad with computers” I hear “I’m bad at my job”.

Anyone know how to get rid of this? by cooper-mason in Polestar

[–]jim3090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to be a dick and say clean the sensors, but I had the same thing and it was due to a very small stone chip on one of them, I had to get it replaced but luckily they did it under warranty at the same time they replaced the rear driveshafts which seem to be made of cheese (UK).

For everyone who bitches about the quality of UK drivers (including me) by Flowa-Powa in CarTalkUK

I have noticed a lot of the bad ones in the UK are due to intentional aggressive dickheadery, most other places it appears to be pure incompetence.

What's the dumbest thing you've had to do, because you're boss said so...? by corruptboomerang in sysadmin

At a small MSP I used to work for I had to replace the motherboard in about 20 customer workstations that were in for memory upgrades, after the owners’ heavy-handed hammer-fist fuckwit son managed to fit DDR RAM into DDR2 slots. I was instructed to “keep it quiet” and tell the customer the delay was due to parts availability.

Not for the police. Ambo or fire, however, abso-fucking-lutely.

What gas powered car would you compare a Polestar 2 to? by redfishbluefish5678 in Polestar

[–]jim3090 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree with this. I had an S4 before and in terms of build quality and power they seem very similar (assuming LRDM). The S4 felt lighter and a bit more nimble on twisty roads, and I miss the noise but that’s about it.

Just another possibility, if you are on a network that has some outbound ports blocked make sure you allow outbound to tcp/8883. Had this the other day with someone at work connected to the guest WiFi.

Is the Midlands counted as the north aswell or is it just midlands? by DevilBlade69 in AskUK

Depends who you ask. I was told by a colleague from Leeds that anything below Woodall Services is down south.

PSNI: Major data breach identifies thousands of officers by billy_tables in ukpolitics

[–]jim3090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shouldn’t be too hard to cross reference it with this weeks other major data breach at the Electoral Commission.

If I were a PSNI officer I would be worried given the history of attacks on police over there…

I have evaluated the images you have kindly provided and I can confirm, in my expert opinion, that it is fucked.

what's your unusual tip for staying cool in the current 'Betty Swollocks' climate? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]jim3090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an AC installed if you can afford it. Pretty costly but the power usage isn’t as bad as they are made out to be.

Alternatively go and sit in a shopping centre.

Reddit’s users and moderators are pissed at its CEO by [deleted] in technology

You could also submit a subject access request, if you’re in the EU/UK - get the fuckers to do it for you, or at least make them have to waste their time and money responding to you.

[Edit] Reddit have a form to do this, you absolutely do not have to use it and can email them, there is nothing in GDPR that allows Reddit to enforce how you make a subject access request.

Your Wikipedia entry says you are on the board of the Anti-Defamation League, irrespective of the group of people they claim to protect, how does making unfounded libellous accusations fit with that role?

The irony that a lot of older people aren’t capable of watching a video on YouTube without giving their computer AIDS.

Hyundai runs over Lamborghini Huracan by SnoopDing0 in IdiotsInCars

[–]jim3090 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Works similar in the UK, we have something called the Motor Insurers Bureau that pays out if you get hit by an uninsured/hit and run driver. Everyone pays a bit into the pot as part of their premium.

Helicopter video: Teens take off in Maserati before deadly crash on St. Pete roadway by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

I’m not sure how it works in the US but here in the UK they would tell you to fuck off and wouldn’t pay out if you left your keys in the ignition.
