    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the most logical place to add the extras is to piggy-back a spy chip on top or on the underside of some PGA, seal the lot in ECN and redo the markings. You gain access to the address and data pins for memory dump. Not many people will notice the extra height.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you could draw some parallel here, between the internet and the EU. The UK's attitude favours less regulation, more growth hence intrinsically more risky. The EU's attitude is to create a level playing field with more rules, slow growth and less risky. Brexit is the conservative's party idea...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    these things are parts of the new artillery. Do you think the software can't do what those extras can? We rely on satellites which can be shot down with lasers, undersea optic cables that can be cut by robots and magnetic storage that can be wiped out with a pulse. Assured mutual destruction. My...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the security concerns are legitimate, but all the advanced countries have the technology to spy on us so not buying Chinese 5G is a little daft. I used to write scripts in TCL to run Cisco routers and can see how the Americans can spy on us whenever they want. As most of the PCBs are made and...

    VAT, Pay as you earn, national insurance, property transfers and inheritance tax. Certainly not much from tax on dividends or set aside assets where the conservative membership keeps their stash.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that's not what the conservatives real aim is at. Conservative membership is about 100,000. Collectively, they own about half the country's assets but not paying half of the taxes. The aim of a conservative government is to keep that system going.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I watched my friend Charles in 'Escape to the country' yesterday on BBC1. He and his wife want to move to Suffolk. Like me, he found Southend-on-Sea not great but can't quite explain why and the main reason given on TV is for their dog, Southend's beaches are no go for their dog half of the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    well said but how about it's like living in a bad neighbourhood, the reasons don't really matter, call it guts feeling if you like, they just want out? sell the house, burn the old furniture, move to somewhere else?

    Hi everyone

    the OP is a mobile mechanic, he can work on brakes for example. If he knew that the motor was 1.5KW and the customer does not have suitable hydraulic brakes, he should have warned his customers. He may get paid something like £35 sorting out some dodgy brakes but the 1.5kW conversion exposes him...

    Hi everyone

    of course not. However, if the on/off switch malfunctions and the customer hurts someone or himself, the insurance companies will certainly look for someone to blame and that can include the shop.

    Hi everyone

    the difference is if and when you assist someone like to install a dongle, the insurance company(ies) will go after everyone they can, including you. What will your wife have to say about that?

    JRM thinks he knows. He said we may not see the benefits for 50 years. Well, he could have asked his children if they agree with him.

    Hi everyone

    put yourself in his place for a moment. It's his livelihood. He needs public liability insurance. Let's imagine for a moment that he fixed some cable operated brakes on an e-bike fitted with a 1.5kW motor, the kind of things you can get on aliexpress for $100. The customer has an accident. What...
