The BBC friendly government could be after you next!
Just whack the licence fee in with an ISP/TV tax. Get the ISP's to collect it for you. Since TV's are basically computers now, not to mention it's merely another streaming device. Downside is folk may switch off in droves; bad for business and everyone. You could also do something with router connections; i.e. have an ethernet connection (labelled with a screen icon or the letters TV) for a TV directly on the router, that works a bit like an aerial (aka antenna) connection.60Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Forum..theme and design comments

More thoughts, musings etc.: [TL;DR/expansion:] Where is this going? Might as well switch the internet off; Make representations to your MP. [reply:] I did that too. Links do work (albeit not properly), but if you try to reply to stuff, you get a pop-up telling you to remove the bad HTML and that your reply hasn't been published. The post is persistent in the sense that it isn't deleted. This is the only time you can edit posts/replies. [expansion:] Deleting the links is counter productive and makes replies inaccurate whilst removing a basic tenet of the internet itself. If this carries on, I no longer see the point of the forum as a whole. It is now 04:09 in the morning, and I'm faffing about on here creating yet more irrelevant content. [question:] Should we be able to post links or not? [Aside/further expansion/bigger picture:] I'm now having conversations with people suggesting that it now has become an either/or scenario: If we're going to have electric cars, should we get rid of data centres and the internet? Zero sum game.219Views2likes0CommentsRe: Update your browser!
Edge hits 132! Like Chrome, Edge has a login option to "verify that it's you" thing going on with it. Your YouTube feeds may disappear if you don't log in. Note that I haven't tried this on Edge, nor do I intend to. It's full of AI nonsense; the landing page below goes into more detail. AI is already being used to generate code for malware, fake logins etc., so please be vigilant, and stay cool!
