You realise all of those adverbs are subjective in themselves as they a led by the terms “feature aspects of” and “tends”. There is no definition that specifies in exact terms because each political sphere is different. Even your final definition has a prediction embedded which is impossible to prove.

Far rightwing is a subjective view. What is far right in most west countries is nothing on the scale of some 3rd world nations.

What is the chance that Trump’s team could actually tell the truth?

A minute to decide if there is a bike in the picture really ?

You only have to look at Murdoch to understand how the media works. It is not a profession for the public interest anymore; it is there only to serve the people who own them.

Lord Sugar is self made, albeit an arsehole who pushes conservative agenda. The one thing all billionaires have in common is that they have abused the workforce to make money.

That is built inherently into the Windows OS. Open your resource monitor and check network activity. Put those IP addresses into https://www.ip-lookup.org/location

And then question why all that information is being sent out. Drivers, DRM for software and many other stuff have self reporting automation built into them these days.

You should never download pictures from unknown sources. It is relatively easy to hide viral code in some picture formats.

If you are responding to spam mails in an attempt to stop them, you are informing the sender that someone is looking at the mails. The best option is to block the sender if the mails are repeated and stick the mail in your spam folder. There is no point in blocking mails that will only arrive one time. Adding mails to the spam folder informs your ISP that it is spam. Some ISPs are proactive with spam accounts and block them at the server.

Had the same deal when I worked it also.

Hence:

The UK does not hold companies to account. This is pointless under this Tory government.

OFC government can hold companies to account. What do you think the Leveson inquiry was about? The monopolies commission, Grenfel inquiry and many more.

The UK does not hold companies to account. This is pointless under this Tory government. Google got away with data abuse because no one suffered any damages apparently. P&O dismissed its workers.

It wasn’t just about comfort; it was for standardisation. Having a proprietary interface opens up the threat for gouging the customer. If everyone uses the same cable then you can buy it anywhere.

I think you missed the point of the forum. You are not really supposed to answer your own question.

I think that you mean by distinction, what you really mean some have a sensible approach. Both are likely to buy a product just by preference.

As for people buying the less informed option, if people are happy with their purchases, then let them have at it. It is hard to compare anything with the disappointment of buying something you are getting enjoyment from, only to find some smart Alec calling you an idiot. It is great to see guides on best purchases before you buy them, but once a purchase has been made there is no real going back on that.

I find fanboyism pretty much a naïve attitude to have. These are large companies that only have one aim in mind, and that is to make as much money as they can out of you. That is not the same as buying into an infrastructure that gives you a comfort zone. All phone companies strife to push people into that comfort zone, where they do not want to change. On that I am guilty as charged.

All in all you spend your money where you feel happier about it. If Apple want to out price their products then people will find alternatives. I never understand this culture of griefing people for having differing comfort zones. There seems to be a lot more emphasis on calling out people buying a bad deal, rather than just educating people on where the good deals are to be had.

Hate to burst your bubble on that one, but all of the latest and greatest phones are made by cheap labour these days. Apple uses China and India, Samsung uses Vietnam, Google uses China and Vietnam with some assembly in the US.

I think you have done more than ok so far. But as Oscar Wilde once pointed out:

“There’s only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”
