A Thunderbird bridge would be useful but the missing Calendar feature for me is search. Other than that it's close to perfect.

Ask ten people what good defaults would be and you'll get ten very different responses. This is exactly why Dolphin, and Plasma in general, are so easy to tweak to your ideal.

Dolphin the file manager I always wanted.

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.

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.

 

It's not a recent event but I only I realised this today.

 

Headphones on, volume up, sit back.

 

Triumph Herald/Amateur Photographer.

 

Sleaford Mods are an English post-punk music duo, formed in 2007 in Nottingham. The band features vocalist Jason Williamson and, since 2012, musician Andrew Fearn. They are known for their abrasive, minimalist musical style and embittered explorations of austerity-era Britain, culture, and working class life, delivered in Williamson's East Midlands accent.

 

I was watching an old episode of Have I Got News For You and a David Cameron promotional site was mentioned so I checked it out. His people must have let the domain name expire as it's now a spam blog called David Cameron Journalism.

David Cameron improving your life, one shitty link farm at a time.

 

You like shredding? Alvin Lee was the OG shredder.

 

In this week's episode of 'Allo 'Allo!, Thib explains all about bridges.

 

From the BBC's Later... with Jools Holland.

 

Another hugely underrated band from the 70s. Great songwriters, talented musicians, a very satirical edge and a stage show like nothing else.

 

Possibly the most underrated UK punk band.

 

In the basement today we have quite a rare machine (for North America:) The BBC Master 128. It's an evolution of the original Acorn BBC Micro from 1981. My first task is to service the PSU and convert it to 120v, then see if this machine is working.
