Quite.

The problem with No. 10 is that there’s no one in there old enough to remember walking to school through winter smog. Pollution kills and legislation saves lives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_Air_Act_1956

Just read what I said again. Mrs Spudger does this for a living. She knows what she’s talking about. The phone doesn’t have to be connected to the public internet. It can just be connected to a private wi-fi network for this purpose.

Phones like this are very tightly locked down. This is not the iPhone you may be used to. The management software even has its own private Apps Store. The user can’t just add or remove random apps from the public App Store. The device manager can also prevent any deletion of content.

These things aren’t left to chance, especially when we’re talking about the highest office in the land.

Mrs Spudger manages a fleet of mobile devices, mostly Apple. She uses an Apple service called Business Manager to administer the devices. Here’s a quote from the manual:

"Reset user passwords

If users forget their password, you can reset it. Resetting their password allows them to get a new temporary password, at which time they will have to create a new password for their Managed Apple ID."

In other words, Johnson is talking utter bollocks. He doesn’t need to know the password. His best defence is to drop it off a North Sea ferry, in a Rebekah Vardy stylee.

Didn’t the Tories bring in some legislation that would enable the government to store all our private communications? I know this buffoon will argue that the law is only supposed to apply to the little people. It doesn’t count for old Etonians.

I don’t know what the authors are complaining about. All the AI is doing is trawling through a lexicon of words and rearranging them into an order that will sell books. It’s exactly what authors do. This is about money.

Kpat.

Some gems there among the Des O’Connor stuff. Cheers.

Last weekend I was rummaging around in the clearance bin at the local entertainment shop. I picked up One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and A Clockwork Orange for $5.00 each and Quatermass and the Pit for $2.95. That’s this weekend sorted for telly time. Mrs Spudger hasn’t seen any of these.

Oh, and new speakers too, at long last.

I was going to suggest Ralf Horris but his play date with karma didn’t go as well as he’d hoped.

You can never be too unfair to lawyers. I note that Shakespeare agrees with me on this one:

“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”

It’s an old line by the late Peter Cook uttered during one of Private Eye’s many libel trials.

Oh, it’s worse than that. He “upgraded” to a Lada Niva.

Starmer is a proven lawyer.

A mate of mine had a Panda 4x4. It was ok as long as you knew its limits off-road.

It’ll all end in tiers.

I’ve only had one of those :)

Indeed but it was a rhetorical question about politics domains being abandoned and then hijacked by spammers and any subsequent reputational damage.

Excellent :)
