The Express is well known in the UK for exaggerated and rage-bait headlines. That and predicting outrageous weather events, without evidence, that never materialise

The Daily Express is a UK right-wing tabloid newspaper and is a very unreliable news source. I can only presume that the US version is from the same mould.

What an asshole.

No no, it's ok, we can sell the government different AI to scan for those vulnerabilities /s

Note that it was City of London Police involved. The City of London is quite distinct and different from the London that tourists know of. The City of London is owned by the corporations (mainly financial institutions) within its boundary, it is self-governing and has the right to set up it's own police force which can take enforcement action in any part of the UK, not just the City of London. They are basically an enforcement arm for corporations and are very interested in things like enforcing intellectual property claims.

Hint: it's not the visas, it's the racists

What a cover!

But what will the show do with the remaining 58 minutes?

David Lammy is facing possible legal action over a plan to invite staff from the oil firm Shell and the defence firm BAE Systems to work inside the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

[...]

The scheme, which was first mooted by Lammy in March, is supposed to embed FCDO staff in firms to gain commercial experience while inviting private-sector staff to take placements in government.

"In Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator, the robots become self-aware and take over the world," Burke's study begins. "In this paper, we take a first step in that direction..."

Gee, thanks for taking that first step towards murder bots and the annihilation of humankind. Great job👌

He's planning out where to build the new McDonalds concession

 

I'm proud to reveal my Advanced Retro Simulation Environment which you're all going to be playing with soon. My A.R.S.E. is going to be so big that it will take dozens of magazines to cover it.

The best thing about my A.R.S.E. will be the content that comes out of it. Not a mere trickle, like for other platform launches. No, there will be a raging torrent of content, all exclusive to my A.R.S.E.

With it's evolutionary industrial design drawing from nature, the curved profile of my A.R.S.E. will be a feast for the eyes.

Get your hands on my A.R.S.E. on April 1, and be the envy of your friend group.

 

I make use of sharedrop.io to quickly share files between phones and computers on my LAN. Does anyone know of a self-hosted alternative, preferably containerised with Docker?

 

I've had my deck for 2 years now and it's been my main gaming device since the day I got it. I take it on trips and use my 3rd party dock and controller to hook it up to whichever TV is at my location.

My only regret is that this way I'm limited to controller-only games, and I really want to play some of the keyboard + mouse games in my library.

Whichever kb + mouse I buy needs to be as portable and lightweight as possible, but still functional with near full-size keycaps (chiclet keys are ok).

I have a folding Bluetooth keyboard, but the build quality is absolute trash.

Any recommendations will be gratefully added to my research list!
