Yes, it’s way more difficult than the first one.

I managed to complete the first one, I forget exactly now but I think I struggled through to somewhere near the end of the second and then had to give up.

The original surreal Direct Debit website. tbf it’s on archive.org although not completely intact but “no trace of” isn’t entirely accurate (although I suspect that’s true of most 1990s websites)

None whatsoever, just old people being nostalgic for the days when we had blue passports.

They are such a dark blue that they are black really. I thought the burgundy ones looked smarter.

There were quite a number of things we were told “we can’t do that because of the EU”. Then, it turned out, we could actually do them, and did pretty much immediately after the vote but before we’d left. Like blue passports.

That’s a mechanical keyboard, so you should be able to map the missing keys to wherever you like.

Failing that, PrtScr is probably on Fn+P, and apostrophes will be Alt Gr+{, Alt Gr+[ or Shift+?. The first two look like they may be accent dead keys, so try Shift+? first, or follow them with a space.

Username checks out

I’m not sure if it works the same way, but Google Wallet uses a virtual card number as well as needing the phone unlocked. There a layer of obfuscation over using a contactless card, that I like.

There are a few petrol shortages in the UK I believe, but that’s mostly people panic buying. I have an EV so doesn’t affect me!

Thanks, I don’t think there was a link in the article. I’ll edit it into the description.

With my own money, it would have been some ZX Spectrum budget title. I clearly remember Fantasy World Dizzy being mine and I think I bought it with my own money rather than it being purchased for me, so I’m going to go with that.

I watch for the plot.

I AM HUMAN. I ASSIGNED MYSELF THIS USERNAME AS PROOF.

We found Nemo!

I only like the old style earphones that sit in the ear. Those bottom ones look way too bulky to be comfortable or not fall out, and the silicone tip ones - sod stuffing something like that in my ear.

I currently own the Sennheiser MX365 (looks like the MX375 is the updated and still available version) and they are great!

In the interests of Linux commands generally being short abbreviations, I suggest “pls”.

I don’t know if it uses that system, but NeoDB lets you sign in with a Mastodon account too. It’s also fully Mastodon compatible, so you can add it to a client and use it as a basic Mastodon/microblog account if you want. It uses (a modified version of?) Takahē on the backend, a project which sadly appears to have been abandoned.

In addition, you can interact with other services from one account, but not necessarily use them fully.

So as above ^^^ at least one account per service is advisable.

+1 for NetSurf, I wrote the Amiga GUI for that.

It doesn’t anymore. I think they dropped the My with Vista? Certainly it was gone by Windows 7.

Didn’t Microsoft start this with the “My Computer” icon on Windows 95?
