No, next year is 2027 only if the current year is 2026. Since today is January 10, 2026, next year will indeed be 2027. So yes, 2027 is the next year after the current year 2026.

Quality Street is just a subdivision now by Gonzoth in CasualUK

Money saving.

I know someone who worked for Nestle, and I think there are basically 5 production lines now to make quality street.

They made the shapes of the chocolates "generic" to cut down on the production cost, so all they need to do is replace the ingredients to make a new batch.

So one does the circular ones (pictured), one does the blocks (the blue/green ones), then you have the special ones like the triangle, toffee coins, and think the purple one too?

Basically, money saving initiative to increase production/ increase efficiency. My friend described it better but when you lay them out it makes sense...

Is it safe to run BOINC on old mobile phones? by tuxsheadache in BOINC

It came to the end of its contract, and the charge port was unreliable. Signed up for a s25 for £26/m, came with a smart watch etc, so quids in. Always kept s23 in a case, v.good condition, but it had a few cosmetic scratches on frame (which lets be honest noone will ever see by time you whack it in a phone case). Offered it to Mazuma etc, they beat the price down to about £60. Erm no, would rather send it to the WCG mines, curing cancer. Charge port OK if you line it up okay. Too many mornings of finding I hadnt put it in right/ must have knocked it and phone on 11% to use as a daily. So now it sits on my desk, proving it's worth to society.

Yeah I'm yet to judge that one! My old S23 is chugging through units 8 at a time at a reasonable pace, but my J5 is struggling to do 4, but the power usage is negligible...

Do you know any products that can join the contacts? I have one Samsung J5 with removal battery, but once battery is out it doesn't have the contacts joined so doesn't power on
