There's a lot of copper pairs left underground. Many hundreds of thousands of kilometres of it. Use it as a pull-through for fibre-optic bundles, and everyone can have gigabit internet.

Seriously though, there'll come a time when that underground obsolete copper will become economic to retrieve.

Heh. My batteries are flooded lead-acid, all 1320ah of 'em. No copper guilt here.

YT becoming shittier and shittier with ads is why I've changed to downloaders instead. No ads.

We used to. BPSolar used to manufacture panels in Sydney - I've got some of them on my roof. But they closed the plant and moved manufacturing to......

anyone? Moved to.........

anyone?

China. Yes, and some of the local ex-BP middle management tried to buy the plant and get manufacturing happening again. Last I heard, they were unsuccessful, but I don't recall why.

So, Blade Runner was a future documentary ? And then Blade Runner 2049?

I hadn't used my CS6 for years but recently needed Premiere Pro. I hauled out the discs, installed it using an external optical drive, and searched old Outlook PST files for the serial number. It installed on my Win 11 laptop, and it activated when I typed in the serial number.

Long live CS6! Adobe won't get any more money from me.

I did get lucky when I bought it, though. I ordered and paid for CS5.5 Education version, so that was about AUD$450 instead of AUD$2200, and what turned up was CS5.5, a free licenced copy of CS4 "to help with 32-bit to 64-bit transition" and a download code for CS6, as I'd ordered 5.5 after 6 had been announced. I ended up with licenced copies of CS4, CS5.5, and CS6 for AUD$450

I've got two piholes running on the home network, and they are both DHCP servers - with different ranges, i.e. #1 serves 192.168.0.11 - 100, and #2 serves 101-200. Each uses option 6 to specify DNS servers, and they both reference each other. It doesn't matter if one goes down because each client will have the both piholes specified as DNS servers. I've never had an address conflict problem.

I have two piholes - they serve different DHCP ranges (e.g. 1-100 and 101-250), and option 6 references each other.

Clive will be back. He's like Palpatine.

Somehow, Palmer returned.

JFC it doesn't become a honeypot on November 1.

Be clear about it - you'll still get Windows Defender updates, but not patches to the OS or MS applications/Utilities.

New outlook is a steaming pile. Classic Outlook has some very handy features and unless Evolution pulls its finger out, I will continue to use classic Outlook. Hell, I used Outlook 2010 until last year.

It met my needs.
