Certainly a high risk strategy haha

Also worth considering that Macs stop getting the latest OS release once they get to around 7 years old, and stop receiving security updates after around 10 years so you wouldn't want to be using a 2014 connected to the internet in any scenario. If you want the iMac form factor I'd be looking...

I’m going to suggest we adopt this approach

Several people have pointed out that they have entered in to some big sponsorship deals across motorsport which seems stupid if they are having cash flow problems. Some have speculated that they’ve been blowing money on sponsoring things instead of paying their suppliers on time which is what’s...

I couldn’t believe mine only went from 900 to 1100 moving from the S3 to the Macan. I guess the demographic of the owners is somewhat different though. Envious of those with sub £500 insurance but I suppose being in your 20s in London it’s never gonna be reasonable.

I’ve spent most of this week doing the interns job running some nmap service discovery against our clients network. That and some python to make sense of the xml output, thank f**k it’s the weekend.

This is exactly how I felt trying to get my dad's Adobe Elements catalogue migrated from 2019 to 2024 on a new machine. Not one person at Adobe has actually clicked the 'Restore Catalogue' button because if they had they'd know it does jack s**t.
