I guess there’s a nice idea behind the process. But tbh, I don’t even remember what instance I joined. I tried joining a tech instance but my application was rejected … I’m really not that interested in applying like it’s a job or something. (Though I understand lots of IRL groups have application processes)
From April 2026, a 20% tax rate – half the headline inheritance tax rate of 40% – will be applied to the value of farms and businesses worth more than £1m when they are passed on.
I think this is what they are complaining about.
UWB looks very cool for finding things from the phone (without the tracker ringing). Samsung Smart tag 2 does this.
I’ve picked up a Moto tag that has UWB and works with Google’s find my network - my understanding is that this will work like apple air tags which can use any iPhone to report and track it’s location. Though it’s not doing all of these things just yet!
These 2 videos, whilst slightly rambling, covered a lot.
I’d guess the codebase that keeps Word running is so convoluted by now they have trouble shoehorning it in.
Interesting question, and as lots have already commented, judges are possibly biased to whoever keeps them in power.
Perhaps a lottery amongst the pool of potential judges (lawyers or whoever it may be)
Careful, you’ve gone so far down the maze you’ll need a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way back
Excellent choice! In my vague memories it was an original game with a fun theme
Black & White 2 gets my vote
I didn’t remember this specific incidence, but the govt. / media do like to blame that darn rock music, mini skirts, Doom game, horror movie for all the bad things that are happening.
Also, link to this specific incidence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_Rose#Controversy
Sounds really good, will have to give this a try
People demanding that “thou shalt not commit adultery” be displayed in school, but have no qualms voting for a convicted adulterer. (Well convicted of lying about paying to try and cover up adultery) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecution_of_Donald_Trump_in_New_York
I guess “thou shall not steal” and “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour” aren’t really a problem either …
So the mosquitoes just agreed not to cross the border 🦟
I was looking for the brownshirts link!
A lateral flow test or something using a lab?
Must be a lab test as lateral flow is like £2:

So I was trying to think how I’d implement it, and I agree if it’s simple then it really only needs to set the brightness level once, then remember if the user adjusts it, and reuse that adjustment for every lux reading.
Hence the example I gave:
Take the ambient light level (lux).
Set brightness to 5.
Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower
Well shucks, I guess Samsung lied to me! I see adaptive brightness was released as part of Android Pie in 2018.
Yeah, I was thinking it could be machine learning in that it takes the average of all your changes over time and the different ambient light levels.
But deffo no need for neural networks.
I totally agree with you.
However there is one smart feature Samsung has that I like. The screen brightness auto adjusts based on the ambient light, but if I change that automatic brightness (I prefer the screen darker) it will remember that and consistently adjust the brightness.
I’m not sure it’s really an AI feature…
Take the ambient light level (lux).
Set brightness to 5.
Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower
Eurotrash was an option in the UK for those without any satellite.
These are the rules for normal people…
Inheritance Tax
is a tax on the estate (the property, money and possessions) of someone who’s died.
There’s normally no Inheritance Tax to pay if either:
The standard Inheritance Tax rate is 40%. It’s only charged on the part of your estate that’s above the threshold.
