What a nonsense idea, you'd need to nationalise news, in the USA, right now this would not go to well, imagine Trump having the only news outlet...

I remember flying to Australia from London as a 9 year old UM (unaccompanied minor) and they plonked me next to a man who Chainsmoked the whole flight there


the horror...


You can take the cellular modem in my X1 out of my cold dead hands and not a moment before. Open laptop, connected - no matter where you are in the world.


> Open laptop, connected - no matter where you are in the world.

This is how I have mine set up, when I travel. Open lid, and it automatically connects to my phone. Maybe my use case is different, since I always have my phone with me. I suppose one technical advantage would be the possibility of a better antenna, within the screen.


the more obvious advantage is better battery life on my phone having its own on my laptop


I grew up in late 70's early 80's UK and remember distinctly as a child the threats the USSR (then Russia) would make in this regard as they were being hammered by Sanctions.

Kairos is a NPC in teh timeless Isle in wow too


I feel like it just confuses the issue with a bunch of unnecessary babble about DNS, theres better ways to read about how BGP works without confusing a bunch of different things. The only part of the article that was relevant was 'Routes were withdrawn' - the rest being a consequence of that.


Agreed. I've actively taken steps to combat it, only use my phone in black and white mode, and removed all apps. Stick to my PC for general browsing and my phone use as gone down to 30 minutes a day (mostly calls, messages with the wife, and email).


same here


So the creator of the zx81 dies at 81, my first computer, very sad.
