TL;DR:

This bill’s proposed amendment NC21 would out trans people. It was rejected by the MPs, but the House of Lords have effectively appealed this.

However, the article claims that even if this amendment isn’t in there, the bill itself is dangerous, allowing the government to reintroduce these effects even without the amendments, by allowing itself to define how and what data needs to be shared by verification providers.

It would do so at its own discretion, without further legislative scrutiny.

Yeah, but that’s because I choose the second highest plan available to me. Entry cost is lower, and I’d expect most poor families would go for that or the next tier above.

$30 discount on broadband bills

It’s wild that it costs much above $30 at all for you guys. In the UK 100Mbps starts at £22/m (~$30) and I’m comfortably at 500mbps at around £35/m ($45) and we’ve got pretty bad deals compared to other European countries!

One possibility is that the pictures being taken are in an odd format (webp?) or have metadata that the app or instance can’t handle.

Cropping the picture creates a new picture. Presumably, the app cropping the picture packages the information differently from your camera app and in a way that is compatible.

Not sure why you’re getting a 403, as that seems like the wrong code given the above theory. Should be a 400 or 500.

It might be permanently out of stock… cries

BP60NB10, though that may be different by region.

Also had just as much success, including with UHD BD, with the older BP50NB40.

I just bought a second PC Blu-ray writer just in case this would happen. Lucky me.

Looks like they’re still available for now in the UK but at inflated prices sent from America

The above supports UHD and is easy to… adapt for legitimate ripping of your Blu-ray. For backup purposes of course.

I think Panasonic still make some too but I’ve used these for years.

I can confirm this. I downloaded this meme on the 4th of July 2024.

Puss in boot

Like you say, it will just happen on the other side as I don’t normally hang them from a chain. I’d rather pick something that hangs nicely from the start.

Hey, no shame man.

I agree of course, hence why I am only picking metal ones. I’ve lost USB sticks to broken clips and bodies.

Why would they have thermal issues? If anything, they should dissipate heat better than plastic drives.

Or is it that by thermal issues people mean that they get hot to the touch?

I remember having that problem with the original Kingston.

Because I didn’t manually copy large files, I couldn’t say.

If there’s any you’d like me to test this for (except the Samsung Bar, because I’ve given it away) I can do so.

I did see that second one, but I realised it would not fit my criteria for the angle of the hole, so I didn’t get one.
