Excellent! Can’t wait to find out what one looks like…

No… Wait… :)

Not my problem… Whatever my SO/surviving descendants want is good by me.

In the UK there is a split between England and Wales and Scotland. “southern” UK trespass is a civil offence. Scotland it is criminal.

So in southern UK trespassers will most definitely not be prosecuted (the railway and power plant property are, iirc, the two exceptions because they have by-laws) but may be sued for damages, in Scotland they can be prosecuted.

One thing other answers have missed is that some ssds encrypt data before writing and obviously after reading (this prevents a swap the storage controller type attack) A secure erase on such a device consists of changing the read/write key. Takes milliseconds. Irrevocable (unless you find a way to read previous contents of the key storage)

If it was an SSD… Its possible you have an SSD that claims to be say 256Gb but actually has a 32Gb chip inside (or smaller) that lies about how big it is and just wraps the writes so they complete… However the format is broken, as is the drive.

Back in the day there was a cat-scan website… Lots of arguments about cruelty to cats because of the scanners bright lights. Lots of great scans of cats.

First off - not a retail employee.

Untidy carts in the corral, for some reason, annoy me. Even if it takes a few minutes to sort them, for size and straightness, I have to - much to the annoyance of people who are waiting for me to get back to the car.

I guess it’s irritation at the bad people who cba to be considerate to the cart collectors. Ffs you aren’t doing someone’s job, you are making their lives a bit less shit for 30s of effort.

Guys

Problem solved - nope, let’s be honest worked around.

You know that saying in Technology & Design “never update the software” with respect to CNC machines etc.?

well it seems if I install the latest and greatest from XYZ the printer is not recognised. If I keep the original versions everything works (whatever version of windows is installed). So now I have to work out a way of stopping the auto-update…

It’s a hay rake design by some guy called Barnsley… Arts & Crafts movement. Plain oak top, 7’x3’ ish, dovetail fit to oak hay rake frame which is wooden pinned together. The top has been abused over the years but being oak it just absorbs the abuse and turns it into character!

There is one in the same style in Cheltenham museum (UK) but mine is nicer. My cousin has its twin.

Not sure it counts but I have an oak dining table my grandfather bought back in 1910 or there abouts… So 113 years-ish. Still used every day.

Now that is something I wouldn’t have thought about.

Will try it and see - anything is worth a go!

Tried that - no difference.

Tried setting com port and baud rate in Cura environment for USB Printing NG plug in. No joy (though monitor in Cura stops complaining the printer is offline, it won’t do things like pre-heat the head)

Real head scratcher.

Nope - that’s the one thing I didn’t do (because 3D maker worked with out it)

Thanks for the reminder though - I will try that in the morning.

I didn’t claim anything :) - the words “pure guess” are a give away.

Pure guess here…

signal uses “magic” to encrypt messages at rest.

Part of this magic relates to the hardware.

Change the hardware and you won’t be able to decrypt the messages.

So try to move a message database to a new machine (either because you want to or because someone else has snaffled it) and you won’t be able to decrypt the database.

Oh noes! Final proof that D&D iz da demon worships! Burn da witchez - burn dem - buuuuurrrrnnn dems!!111!!

I am old enough to remember the first time around the d&d is devil worship bouy and had this existed back then there would have been burnings at the stake…

It would have been fun to use the Crowley reading for the book of many things, but that wouldn’t be much fun from a game play mechanic.
