I didn't know much about Excel until I was an adult and learning it via the ECDL and MOUS, as my PC (486) was exclusively used for gaming at the time

I think that it's actually a clever way to reduce waste on a side note!

In the past, with 486 CPUs Intel actually did something to "downgrade" DX4-100 CPUs to DX2-66. I recall seeing a video about how you can revert the latter back to the former, but I believe that they need to be a specific version with a specific ID code, or perhaps there's more than one that can...

That said though, I somewhat recently bought a copy of the 4th ed (linked) because my 3rd ed is still back in Ireland... If my mum didn't chuck it out! That, and I figured it would be a good idea to have a more recent edition, for using with my Pocket x86 laptops!

I ended up learning how to do that sorta stuff when I was a kid, via this book: archive.org/details/dosc...

People more to the left politically to go. Also, as we have discussed in the past, Reform voters probably won't vote Labour anyway, because they're not "doing enough", so all that Starmer is accomplishing is making Labour smaller and weaker in time for the next GE!

I get that he's trying to get the Reform vote, but in doing so, he's destroying the party and turning off people who would vote for Labour usually, so they jump ship to parties like the Greens, or the LibDems, because they're a lot more consistent with their policies and are natural places for-

Surprising that a human rights lawyer (QC too) is both so against human rights and worse at speaking than he should be, considering all that's been going on regarding policies being brought in that weren't on the manifesto... He's making a poor effort defending them, especially with the pushback!

I could think of plenty of things to do with it, but I am unlikely to ever get into his position, nor would I really want to. I've seen a comment saying that he appears autistic or words to that effect, but that was intended as an insult. Whilst he may be autistic, at the same time I do find it-

Yeah... I'd say I'm losing faith in the government, but I had little to begin with, not helped by my local (Labour) MP parrotting the party line. Starmer's vision for Labour ultimately stands for nothing, as he's constantly moving the goalposts!
