While the latest mobile radio technologies are really clever about how they use of the inherently constraint radio bandwidth available, they still suffer from the same old problem: too much countryside (or city blocks) in between the base stations. Mobile network companies in the UK have never invested enough to the radio network. The mobile networks in the UK are shamefully bad.

Brilliant reply!

If AWS, Google Cloud and Azure all went down, you’d only see red across the whole of Europe and beyond.

Did they have a beef with the owner?

Good point. A little soak should soften the paper nicely.

Returning in Freepost and using as fire starter have already been suggested. I would also consider as a handy way to soak up bin juices, or as toilet paper substitute. Might be on the rough side, mind.

I think the words you are looking for are “thick as a brick”.

Qt originates from Norway. Most of the dev team was in Oslo, with small teams in Berlin and Brisbane.

Thank you for your comments.

The comments to my post were not what I expected, but also not a huge surprise.

I believe debate should be respectful whether the participants agree or not. Clearly that does not matter to some people here. Fair enough, I can deal with that. I have met my fair share of knobheads over the years.

It has been suggested I’m in need of serious introspection. That may be true. I’ve lived through quite a lot, probably a fair bit more than most here, and have done a good deal of self reflection for a multitude of reasons. May I suggest some of the commenters may benefit from the same medicine. Some might even need to grow up.

Apologies, I somehow missed your reply.

I have a fair amount of skepticism about any think tank regardless of who is backing them. I had a brief look at what Centre for Media Monitoring have to say, and I think they are making valid points. I will read more when I have time, but life does get in the way.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective in a constructive manner. I genuinely appreciate people who discuss issues respectfully regardless of whether they agree with the other person or not. That has been somewhat scant in the commentary here.

Very good. Have a nice weekend.

Thank you for taking the time to share thoughtful and informative perspectives. It is rather different from compared to many other commenters.

I’m not sure at what point I was bitching, but OK. Quite why you felt the need to hurl insults my way at the end of your post is a mystery, but not unexpected here.

Thank you.

I would not be surprised if this turned out to be fatal for the company. Causing harm to pets is not a good business plan.

Should have added /s. I thought it was obvious, but clearly not. Apologies for the omission.

It would appear we have different definitions for academic studies.

I tend to engage with comments I deem worth engaging with. Yours probably is not worth engaging with either, but hey, for the lols.

Regrding claims about BBC being Zionist, brushing genocide under the carpet, etc I say this. I have seen several reports on the BBC covering IDF killing Palestinians, using food shortages as a weapon of war, and committing other war crimes. That observation does not align with many such bias claims.

I take it you regularly come across reporting from the others and find them wanting?

I do.

Apologies for failing to add /s to a number of places in my post. Clearly that would have been needed.

I think the shift in reporting is a reflection of the society more than anything else.
