"Whoops, you weren't meant to see that yet.."

Why are people acting all surprised? This is the company that brought you Clippy and the Zune.

On 14 October 2025 they'll give you the final incentive to kick them to the kerb and install a different OS when your perfectly fine Windows 10 PC stops getting security updates.

As opposed to say Apple, Microsoft or Google?

Meanwhile the agent is telling the current owner that this property is "going off" online with hits from all around the planet.

Job advertisements are so bad that this delivery job would show up as a "remote job" with some agencies characterising it as "work from home" because it's not in an office.

The command you're looking for is tape archiver, cunningly called tar.

At one point, before we virtualised everything, I had a custom desk built in an L-shape. Instead of a desk and a return, I had the refurbishment team put together a desk with two desks instead. It gave me two sets of drawers, two computer cubby holes and the gap was too small for the horrible keyboard adjustable shelf that kept hitting your knees, so they replaced it with a fixed surface instead.

People laughed.

Colleagues sniggered.

Then they wanted one too.

Now I have a mobile lectern with an iMac clamped to it. Height adjustable, wheels, enough space for keyboard, trackpad and USB hub. I move around my office as the mood or light takes me.

Wow, those comments are a dumpster fire.

Not sure what Derek 's best response might be. I'm thinking that this video will likely be taken down and replaced by one without a sponsor.

Do you really need to ask?

I mean, this is the guy who said: "The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man”

You can reduce the time there by making the water colder. You can also approach the experience as a sequence of steps and work out how you can wash every single part of your body in the least amount of steps.

For example, is it quicker to get all wet, turn off the shower, lather up your body, then rinse it all off in one go, or is it more efficient to do it from top to bottom, one body part at a time?

What's the fastest you've been able to go from sleeping to walking out the door having had a full shower?

Finally, you should probably have a shower once a day if you're around other people or if you get visitors. You might not smell anything, but they definitely will.

Finally, there's absolutely nothing wrong with zoning out in the shower. Some days you luxuriate in the experience, some days you don't.

Good luck!

This is not a new phenomenon.

Anyone remember "Turbo" or "DTP"?

Yes, there was a Turbo-mouse and a DTP-mouse.
