I've had family members who experienced very good cancer care through the NHS in recent years.

YMMV.

This is a really important article but just got flagged (why?) so I'm reposting it.

When I worked at IBM in ‘98 Lotus Notes was the default email client for all employees - we referred to it internally as “Bloatus Goats” such was the disdain we had for it.

Don't bother, I tried with a disposable email address and they make you subscribe to a mailing list before sending you the download link. When you do eventually get it, it's a 3 page puff marketing PDF.

I converted it to TXT and pulled out the only bit of interest here:

It’s ok - The Winchester is within walking distance.

I live in the UK now, have done for 40+ years and there are (still) automated car washes everywhere.

Have you considered https://tiller.com/ ? They can pull feeds in and refresh automatically but have a big privacy play so that only you get to see your finances (and display and manage it in Excel or Google Sheets).

I'd recommend using Outline - it's a one click setup that lets you provision your own VPN on a cloud provider (or your own hardware).

Since you get to pick where the hardware is located and it is just you (or you and a small group of friends & family) using the VPN, blocking is more difficult.

If you don't want the hassle of using your own hardware you can rent a Digital Ocean droplet for <$5 per month.

The video is wild - Waymo support apparently struggles to remotely control the car.

Actually multi-focal contact lenses are a thing.

I was surprised to hear this too, since I wondered how they could work in practice - there’s a handy explainer here if you are interested:

It's worse than that - an attacker on the same local network as the target machine can tie up the legitimate DHCP server by reserving all available addresses and then start advertising themselves as an alternate DHCP server (to inject the malicious routing to the target).
