    I am not paranoid but careful. You can overcomplicate things. I have known cases where someone has protected his laptop with bitlocker and the hdd died. The data recovery company admitted defeat because the decryption key is missing from his MS account. I don't think win2003 does the job of...

    the backup is a VM, so not much of an overhead in electricity other than the small 3W-5W that my 2.5" Seagate SSHD that I use for backup consumes. The drive is seen by the host PC as offline so unless it is hit by a virus specifically crafted for it, it will be safe. You can configure the VM...

    no, there is no need to burn more electricity with duplication. I like MS stuff, it's well organised and efficient. Take the shadow copy service in windows. It's been in use since 2000 and still not many cases of virus attack. Before, it was a chore to back up open files and retrieve previous...

    no, not passwords. I don't care about passwords, Microsoft, google and firefox keep my passwords. For the financial websites MS and Google, you have two factor authentications plus partial passwords system. My SIM is a big issue, I can't lose my SIM. For most websites, you have already systems...

    I am not worried about my password being cracked. My main concern is backup. I always keep two copies on two windows servers on two different networks, one of them is a windows 2003 set to never update. They have simple previous versions so capable of resisting ransonware.

    you can opt out of a lot of those pesky data collections while using windows but can you opt out of google analytics? the answer is no, the website owners put google code on their web pages. Would you disable Javascript in your browser? Can you opt out of downloaded fonts in your emails? Can you...

    Lightweight stepthrough for motorhome

    that is an interesting concept. However, consider this: a typical 18650 3500mAH cell that you find in most good e-bikes holds 12.6WH, enough for about 2 miles on a flat road, weighs only 48g-50g, 1kg for 40 miles. Is it worth cutting down on battery because of their weight?

    Lightweight stepthrough for motorhome

    27kgs is heavier than most step through e-bikes. Which bike is it? Dutch step through bike frames are heavier than step over frames because the main curved tube is much thicker to avoid flex. For many e-bikes, the lighter weight is usually achieved with better crankset and wheels and forgoing...

    Folding ebike that can go off road

    The motor spins still when you go over 15mph but hardly produces any push.

    Folding ebike that can go off road

    You can fairly easily pedal the Rambletta to 20mph because it has a cassette instead of a freewheel, its smallest cog has 11 teeth instead of 13 teeth like on most folding bikes. Still, the motor won't do anything for you at that speed, the Rambletta's motor is optimised for 14mph-15mph.

    you need to upgrade Mac OS to install win 10x64. Unless you absolutely need the two to work together, buy a second hand windows PC or laptop saves a lot of bother.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    maybe. There were 27 MPs that went public before the vote, 148 voted against BJ so it's difficult to extrapolate their future strategy from what they say on TV.
