Thanks! I didn't know about this. I never use audiobooks. Just changed my family plan. £2 is £2!

I redid my bathroom in my old house and put a larger bathtub in. The issue is it requires a lot more water to fill. Great having much more leg room but it just uses so much water. I ended up using it less due to costs.

Oh yes. CRC Error was it?

Indeed.

I suggest anyone intending to play the game doesn't search on YouTube for this as it contains major spoilers.

You could try this. I have two of these (16GB 512GB version) arriving in the post today. They're on offer currently.

Obligatory Heavy Rain comment... "Shaun!"

In the early days of the internet, WinZip was a must have tool. My college had a fast internet connection. I say fast but I bet it was less than 1Mb shared between everyone. Way faster than the 33k modem I had at home.

I used my college connection to download so much and then took it home on floppy disks. For files larger than 1MB I'd use WinZip to split files up.

Wireguard works out of the box for me. I use a docker image.

I got tinykin today. It's a game that's right up my street. Feels quite Nintendoish

Prices are really out of control. Particularly food which is a necessity unlike alcohol. I can't see any government making significant changes to reduce either, including Labour.

I disagree. In a business environment it is actually really good, or at least was pre-Azure. I dislike that they are trying to push people to Azure instead of on-prem.

For home use it's been pretty poor since Windows 8 and seems to be turning to shit since Windows 11.

Windows 11 did one good for me though. It's been enough to push me to properly give Linux a try again. Proton has been a major step forward as gaming has been the main reason I never stuck. I'm currently spending more time in Arch (btw) than Windows.

I still prefer Chrome over Firefox but I've been running Firefox for over a year now and won't go back to Chrome because fuck Google. Also stopped using Google for searching and not being tracked is very very noticeable.
