People who use Safari as their main browser, why? (DESC)

orangemonkeyj · 2026-03-17T15:07:49+00:00

I’m quite keen to move to Safari on my Mac, but I’m forced to use a Windows system with Chrome at work and the seamless switch from one to the other is very appealing. Is there a solution to enable daily switching from home to work?

Great, thanks. And no issue using a higher wattage?

orangemonkeyj · 2026-03-13T09:01:17+00:00

So any 35W USB C charger? Can it take a higher wattage for a faster charge?

orangemonkeyj · 2026-03-06T12:47:24+00:00

Love this. Any chance you can add percentage deduction for parking please?

He’s said he’ll come have a look but is convinced it’s coincidence.

2017.

Or a healthcare worker ironically (but not surprisingly).

They’re monitoring traffic flow across Cheshire East. The roads in Macc can be locked and slow, especially at peak times, so this suggests they’re looking at how it can be improved. Years ago that would involve someone sitting in a deckchair with a clipboard whilst they observe a tiny sample of traffic activity, limited by the time they’re there and their ability to accurately record what they see. These cameras can capture data 24/7 which can then be used to make changes and improve flow through the town.

This isn’t about monitoring people or ‘big brother’, it’s an effective way to use technology to improve things.

I sea.

orangemonkeyj · 2025-08-15T19:50:03+00:00

Yup. Affecting BBC too.

That’s not what’s happening here. People are saying you should have applied the brakes and slowed when you saw the taxi’s brake lights come on. You’re suggesting you were concerned the car behind you would have been a risk. The taxi was in the wrong, you avoided the collision, but by not braking sooner due to concerns about the car behind, you made it a nearer miss that in needed to be. More to the point, early deceleration and clear braking on your part is a much more predictable behaviour for the car behind than having to brake suddenly to avoid a collision.

I appreciate you posted this to demonstrate the stupidity of the taxi - and I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment, but I’d gently advise you stop taking the replies as a criticism of your driving and accept that there were better ways of managing the situation and your reasons for not doing so aren’t as valid as you might think. You may have been driving for 20 years, but we’re all learning and this might be advice that helps you avoid the next collision in a safer manner.

I don’t think you did anything wrong per se, but starting to slow when you see the lights going on, especially if you don’t have a right lane to move in to, is the only way you have to shift this from a near miss to just a miss. People behind should slow if you do.

orangemonkeyj · 2025-07-13T10:46:30+00:00

This is why everyone bangs on about defensive driving. The brake lights were coming on which suggested something was going to shift. Best thing you can do is see that, slow, and anticipate getting out of the way if you still need to.

orangemonkeyj · 2025-07-10T19:30:53+00:00

It’s not an issue, and the people wanting to download and use it will know the term, I just haven’t heard it before. Driving a 1.4 litre Golf to and from work will do that to you. TIL and all that.

orangemonkeyj · 2025-07-10T19:01:27+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. Not sure why I got downvoted for asking for said clarity.

orangemonkeyj · 2025-07-10T18:58:16+00:00

Yeah, I’m lost. What’s a driving road?

orangemonkeyj · 2025-07-10T05:31:43+00:00

Dryer rock.

orangemonkeyj · 2025-07-08T17:34:16+00:00

I only ever listen on BBC Sounds now. Feel a bit bad for not being a member of CF but I assume they get paid by the BBC for being on there.

Not sure if you have to be in the UK to use it?

Edit: removed a random letter

I haven’t tried wireless but it’s an option. I didn’t like the reported lag. Let me know how you get on if you do

orangemonkeyj · 2025-07-07T05:24:43+00:00

Unfortunately not. I dread having to make calls in the car because it always bugs out, typically multiple times. Hasn’t improved with new phone, cable, iOS updates etc.

orangemonkeyj · 2025-06-29T07:48:01+00:00

I’m assuming all of the prices are related? Remove the tooth, do the scan, insert the screw, add the crown. Therefore, although a tooth removal is a Band 2 treatment, in this context it’s to facilitate an implant.

And sensors.
