I think rail uses GSM-R, which is not the same as the general public GSM aka 2G.

The telecom companies just charge their customers for it, who are basically “taxpayers” too. You pay either way, so a better question is what action is expected to offer best benefit-cost ratio?

“What if we make a teletubby but evil?”

Did they keep forgetting the plot?

I suspect that will happen, but it’s crazy for the previous comment to grumble he wasn’t sentenced as a serial when he’s not yet convicted of more than one.

Only convicted of one so far, plus assaults, so not yet officially a serial, so wait & see.

If the business were to be cautious, they’d fix their damned toilets to not be gendered, divisive and exclusionary.

Once idiots feel empowered to become the Pants-contents Police, this is where it leads.

Why has a company as rich as Tesco still got mostly gendered toilets anyway?

Yeah, co-op are likely being all ethical again. Or trying to.

Look at the checkout conveyor dividers in Morrisons some time: they literally say “Morrisons More Card: more conveyor snooping” or something similar. People just don’t realise the cost.

Naughty children! How dare they shop!

Can under-18s hold many loyalty discount cards? I expect co-op stores allow it from 16, as they’ve been supporting votes at 16 for years.

Only on social media would someone be so entrenched as to insist there’s only one valid design of litter bin!

There’s little difference. In one of the holders, it’s a bin.

The IRA are the reason why you won’t find litter bins in transit stations.

No, there are bins at most train stations too small to have full-time cleaners you hand rubbish to, but they’re see-through so anything suspicious is seen and reported to “see it say it sorted”.

What about the musicians? They’re rather important but don’t dance or sing.

Well, yes, as they’ve not passed safety tests yet. What would the Reform opposition do? Put possibly-unsafe trains into service because their MSes don’t ride trains anyway so don’t care?

London problem.

How about dealing with cars parked on pavements in England outside London first, eh? Then worry about the little bikes. Or, radical idea, ban all obstructive pavement parking no matter what vehicle, nationally all at once!

Didn’t Musk post his own phone number on the site formerly known as Twitter recently?

Yeah, this is why I resist getting a job actually doing mainly IT security despite having been part of far too many incident response and recovery teams over the years. It seems like a no-win job at the moment because leaders rarely value it.

Milk will have problems if it’s the 50c fast-defrost cycle that the fridges in the first attack reportedly hit.
