The case was reportedly quite damning and ended up going nowhere.
I haven’t seen any sources yet that say that’s why she was fired though, it could be. It seems more likely that trump hates her dad and wants to install another loyalist.
Wired did a piece on this, but there isn’t much more information in it than this one
The level of technical knowledge needed to repair things has increased, while general technical knowledge has decreased. People aren’t reading Popular Mechanics from the 1950’s where “build a hovercraft from an old lawnmower” the building one.
Parts are also a huge problem. Where previously a car alternator, for example, was three discrete parts, alternator-rectifier–voltage regulator, that is now a single assembly. If one of those parts goes bad you need to replace the whole thing, unless you have used parts you can pull from. For some things the assembly is NLA, no longer available.
As for why it’s cheaper that comes down to manufacturers wanting to sell you a new one, not wanting to have to spend money on repair stock sitting somewhere, and possibly not having access to it themselves since very few manufacturers actually produce a complete product on their own.
For something simple like a Bluetooth speaker, the power supply comes from one company, the Bluetooth module and amplifier from another, the driver, a display board, the housing, someone designs it and puts that all together. If any one of those chains fails you may not be able to source the part to fix something.
There are usually workarounds to this but unless you are doing it yourself it will be cost prohibitive
Example: friend rented a house with a new stove, gas top, electric oven. Two months later the oven stopped working, motherboard was NFG (no fucking good), it was also NLA. So the landlord bought a new stove. The old one could have been made to work, but the complete functionally would not have been there. If my friend owned this I would have said ‘I can make it work, but you will be missing these features’.
So she’s going to jail for breaking U.K. privacy laws and lying about it. That’s good I guess.
Co-op announced on 30 April that it had been hacked, initially saying it would only have a “small impact” on its call centre and back office.
But days later, after being contacted by the alleged hackers, BBC News revealed that customer and employee data had been accessed.
Oh, no, my bad she said
it was “personal” to her because of the impact that it had on her colleagues.
We can only hope that she can afford therapy to get over this…
She earns an annual salary of £750,000, plus a bonus, bringing her total remuneration to over £1 million in recent years
No, the writer freely admits it is their fault. They try to get a new case, but it’s no longer available. The problem is lack of first party support and third party options.
The same as whatever those ai pins were called.
There should be laws specifying minimum support times and open sourcing code and hardware after that.
I know this doesn’t matter anymore, but I thought you couldn’t depart to 3rd countries unless someone arrived from there.
And yes, I read this bit
Last month, the US Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to resume deporting migrants to countries other than their own.
Doesn’t it violate international law?
Define “some” money. If your needs are actually basic, roof over your head, food, like that, then there are many places you can go.
Poor boy has had a rough week, first his wife says she wants a divorce because of his adultery and now he finds out he’s impotent in a different state.
Being a dog fearing christian is tough in this day and age, especially when you’re actually a shitbag.
This administration has the moral integrity and intelligence of the average reality TV series. Just a bunch of intellectually stunted teenagers.
There are quite a few dryland crops. The rice usually used for Risotto, in this case Arborio, is not one of them.
I’m pretty sure that even if you grew Arborio as a dryland that you couldn’t sell it as Arborio because of DOP. Which would change its flavor, probably its starch balance, and decrease its price.
I’m never gonna defend the Catholics in any way.
The pope has vast influence, that’s what this is about.
This of course does not apply in the u.s. where they’re on the verge of Great Schism 2: Electric Boogaloo
It’s 25 kms away
Could be, OP is posting from a .ml address though. My comment was referring to them
.ml user specifically
She initially lied about the source of the mushrooms too. “From an Asian market”. And denied foraging.
Later it was “an Asian market and the supermarket”. Then some may have been foraged.
Her story to police changed many times
Oh, and she reset her phone a few times (including when it was in police custody)
Did you download this, or was it an automatic update?
Some people have said it was an automatic update, and it then changed their settings
It’s strange that that is not mentioned in the article. Possibly it was too damaged, they do say his wife has his phone though, and was not able to extract anything useful from it. It is not stated where the fire originated or spread to.
The article does not say that.
This article states That
National guidelines, introduced in January 2024, recommend banning smartphones from classrooms
There is a quote that seems to reference students not having their phones between classes, though it is not said whether they are prohibited or do not have access to them.
in the breaks between the lessons, students would be on their phones and now they’re forced to talk …

The lack of documentation is a huge problem, if you opened up an old tube amp to fix it there was often a full schematic taped to the cover. Solid state amps often had component values stenciled right on the board.
