Surely that’s just Christian keeping the attention on Red Bull’s name like a good marketing manager should….

Interesting to see Mercedes glueing and taping the front wing damage, budget cap showing???

You do and normally need to cover it all under documentation called an ATA carnet. These are normally issued by a local chamber of commerce. https://www.thamesvalleychamber.co.uk/international-trade/international-trade-documentation/ata-carnets/

Every HQ box I have seen at work has a yellow warning box with black writing “CAUTION 9’6” HIGH” per the image on this page https://containertech.com/articles/40-standard-vs-40-high-cube-container

I just close my eyes and put my foot down…..seems to work ok….

I didn’t see this reported elsewhere at the time https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9254105/Coronavirus-Government-scientific-advisers-call-debate-allowing-big-wave-infection.html

Round here avoiding potholes when cycling as a (fast) pair is bad enough, let alone having to be wary of plain idiocy (and yes I am aware TdF inspect road conditions before races).

I am on Linux mint for my personal pc, for approaching three years and have yet to find anything lacking (partly due to Steam proton on the gaming front), but didn’t want to derail this topic into a Windows vs other options debate.

The frustration with that approach is its habit of restarting what it deems to be “quiet hours”. As I work from home I tend to leave whatever I am working on overnight and sleep the pc Monday to Friday, switching off at weekends. Finding it has restarted on a Tuesday night and closed 11 spreadsheets, and various other applications to suit itself was immensely frustrating (eventually I found a GPO setting that overrode it but it took some digging). I also detest the one-drive autosave for office365 where you can either autosave after every click of the mouse or not at all….and god forbid you want to open a spreadsheet, manipulate some data to copy and paste elsewhere without saving the changes in the original…

Indeed, but I think they have built a rod for their own back in terms of people expecting access to the latest OS. Windows 3.1 through Vista didn’t have the expectations of access to the latest OS, and certainly the circles I move in where quite sceptical initially about the free updates from 7 to 10 (I don’t believe my employer had any windows 8 equipment, preferring 7 pro, so will ignore that one).

There is also a list of supported processors for windows 11 which appear to be very restrictive. https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/news/windows-11-leaves-computers-out AMD list: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors Intel list: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

Report on the Guardian this morning that of 691 million home Lateral flow tests dispensed only 14% have had results logged with Test and trace. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/jun/25/almost-600m-nhs-home-covid-tests-unaccounted-for-auditors-reveal I haven’t had any myself but wonder if it’s people not worried about negative results, too complicated to log online, or if they are being hoarded in case people feel unwell instead of the proactive use they were intended for.

I normally use the scan as you shop, and pack it neatly in my shipping bags in the reverse order I want to unpack it and put it away. Roughly one in three times I get flagged for a check at Tesco and they rifle through the bags and mess it all up….Asda have never checked me on their equivalent and Sainsbury’s have done it once…

I used to be the office dweeb…Geek feels like a step up in the world….

Question 1) Ok this means the files on the drives are likely a bespoke file that can only be read or restored through the backup software. This is partly because it helps the system work out changes and back them up and partly because it can compress the data and save space. You should be able to restore individual files through the software or a full drive. You should Look into the software settings and determine if it’s barebones data or copy of system backup. If a barebones it can be restored to almost any system after you install the operating system. If a copy of the system it will likely only work on very similar (or identical) hardware, which could be a problem if an older motherboard is no longer available Question 2) it is likely you could automate the backups between remote drives via the same software, but you should have several incremental backup jobs, such a daily, weekly and monthly as the system cannot tell if a save is a deliberate change or saved in error. Having multiple jobs means different restore points. It would be worth creating a few random files, letting them go through the backup system, deleting them and restoring them to see how it works. We used to do it periodically at work so that in the event something went wrong we were familiar with the process, rather than adding to the stress. I personally like acronis backup software as although a paid software (around £30 last time I bought a license) it is incredibly easy to configure jobs and restore files. Your backup strategy doesn’t mention an offsite backup to protect against fire, flood and other physical issues. You should also be aware of the age of the drives, I wouldn’t let them get over 3 years for IDE or 5 years for Sata and that is generous with a decent backup strategy in place.

How do you take your backups from the pc to pc1, is it a copy and paste job or via software or Microsoft’s built in backup system?

Had a pleasant evening at the Loose Cannon brewery taproom in Abingdon last night with the wife and parents. A nice selection of their ales, a range of other drinks from other small, often local, businesses, friendly staff, decent singer and although I didn’t partake they had a visiting Pizza van in the car park that looked lovely (different food vans every Friday and Saturday. Will be going back at some point…

For me it was round at a friends house recently explaining to his 17 year old about using Encarta “Before Google”…

For me it is that eBay has broken the feeling of a “community” with so many listings from almost anonymous business sellers with dodgy location information on buy it now, rather than the auctions by people selling second hand items. I don’t leave a review on eBay any more than I would for a Tesco Petrol Pump….

I assume this means Oxford City Council have finally decided they don’t want to move the station to Oxpens which has been an unfunded on/off debate for several years.

Bikes are the classic example of: “The perfect number to own is N+1=S-1, where N=The amount you currently own, and S = divorce”

Was the Red Bull radio call for a red flag altruism or trying to protect Perez?
