  • Which model MacBook please? I need a new project as my old Lenovo Ideapad is dying. And I might still be able to use Snow Leopard.

  • EU approves a $106 billion loan package to help Ukraine after Hungary lifts its veto

  • Trump threatens 'big tariff if UK does not drop digital services tax on US tech firms

    Jump

  • The only correct answer.

    Trump is a senile, rascist, idiot.

  • The EU requires phone makers to fit 'readily removable' batteries from next year — but there may be a notable exception

    Jump

  • I see approx 75-100 people per day and they have to show me their phone is switched off. Lots of them, especially the younger ones and manual workers, have cracked screens.

  • Dead cars tell tales by storing data that's never wiped

    Jump

    But when you think about it, it should have been obvious.

  • What a complete and utter disaster that would be. The man is a complete idiot.

    He will have no constructive alternative to offer, just some waffle about immigrants and spongers.

  • YouTube removes pro-Iran channel producing anti-Trump videos

    Jump

  • That was bloody neat. And I say that as someone who normally hates rap.

    I listened to it all the way through.

    Although the music isn’t my usual thing, whoever made that is very clever. There’s so much small detail going on there. Brilliant sense of humour. And very talented.

    I’d love to his reaction after watching one.
