Ouch. Any idea what the cause was? Could be a concern for other components potentially (speaking from flame-filled experience).

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c93kkg37n3kt The voting age will be lowered to 16 across the UK for the next general election, the government has confirmed Well this is spicy. I'm all for it in principle, but how are they going to spin this as anything other than a cynical fuck you to Reform? Not th...

I’d hope it will correct itself when every development manager in the company verbally (and possibly physically) assaults them.

Fuck knows. I'm all for strong security practises, but not at the expense of being able to actually function as a business!

In the latest adventure of my Dilbertesque existence, the software company that I work for has introduced (with no consultation or warning) an approved applications list, meaning only apps on the list can be installed and used. While on the surface this might seem sensible at best and a mild inconve...

My PC runs pretty warm (though apparently not warm enough to melt my motherboard, u...

I must have the only decent Evri delivery guy in the country. Very friendly and always turns up in his specified time slot. Back to ranting, boiling weather and an abscess on my leg means I've hardly slept in three days and am feeling stabby. The temp's dropped but there's about as much wind as a fa...

"I was thinking more of blastin' this board to kingdom come. That oughtta finish the game."

CK feels it's important to represent Doc's pique while he's in canine form.

"Or we could give them some stand-in pieces. I just don't trust chess."

CK is sick of this chess malarkey. I mutter to my companions: "I can think of a couple of ways this game could be resolved in a heartbeat..."

Yeah… that CCTV footage is nonsense.
