Very worthwhile petition. Amazon is full of very unsafe electrical items (likewise eBay), and whilst they might provide interesting fodder for Big Clive to tear apart on YouTube, they are often purchased by unwitting people thinking they're safe. bit.ly/3h40Uau

@wowstartsnow Awesome, thanks! To eBay with me :D

@KingDaveRa Here are all of my current recommendations. 😁

We all know about Windows 95…but have you heard of Windows 94? 👀 Windows Codename Chicago build 90c, from March 1994, refers to itself in setup as Windows 94! Ultimately, Chicago released as Windows 95 in August 1995. But it’s interesting to think what could have been... 9️⃣4️⃣

@wowstartsnow Book ordered. :D Any other good similar books? I like computer industry history books, especially first-hand accounts.

More proof (if proof were needed) that Amazon give zero shit about you and your family's safety. There's no way these obvious choke hazards are suitable for a child under 3.

@CameronYardeJnr @DuncanNewmarch @russty_russ @BBCOne I seem to recall a lot of films being dubbed back in the early 90s at least. ITV did it quite a lot.

@KingDaveRa @DuncanNewmarch @russty_russ @BBCOne Did the same thing happen with Beverly Hills Cop? Ghostbusters topped Boxing Day 1987 with 16.45m. The Paul Daniels Show and Bergerac never stood a chance!

@DuncanNewmarch @russty_russ @BBCOne I miss the poorly dubbed movies of my youth. First time I saw National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, it was on mid afternoon on ITV. I watched that tape for years. Until I watched it late one night and realised how edited it was 😄

@russty_russ @BBCOne I knew that you’d know. The best film ever (Back to the Future) was a Christmas Day premiere with some of the worst audio dubbing to disguise the swearing.

Bit of a typo in Windows 10 (cc @JenMsft )

Ok so MacFlim audio technically works with the Macintosh 512k, except I forgot one thing. The only way I have to add storage to the 512k is a floppy emu in HD20 mode. The floppy port REALLY isn't quick enough to keep up.

WE NEED EVERY SINGLE FOLLOWER TO RT THIS We have spotted something during Simon Thompson’s car crash interview on the BBC this morning. Having zoomed in, someone is in the room writing answers on a board for him. Pack your bags, Thompson. It’s time to go. #StandByYourPost

Publisher died due to a mix-up with the upgrade path, AND a weird bug we were hitting and couldn't patch. So we had to do the old two step upgrade instead. Fun, fun, fun.

A colleague, a consultant, and I have spent the entire weekend upgrading Callmanager and UCCX. Highlights included corrupting the CCM publisher and having to restore it, multiple tweaks to VMs to make things upgrade, and watching so many progress messages.

@CarlShillitoUK Ohh, so we'll get to see freight through Aylesbury again? Good to see anyway.

@KingDaveRa No, via Aylesbury. Track N of Quainton removed while HS2 works in progress, but route is protected for future link up with EWR.

HS2 uses rail freight to take extra 300,000 truck journeys off Bucks roads gloo.to/6NJu#.Y3HvKhnE… Welcome return of traffic to this section of the old Great Central route. Building #HS2.
