For live TV, perhaps they should change its name to subscription because that's basically what it is at the end of the day.

In addition to the exclusives issue, the client and store were not particularly well made and were missing pretty standard features stuff like no shopping cart so if you wanted to buy multiple games at the same time you had to do them as separate purchases and stuff like wishlisting.

I remember Valve got quite a bit of dislike when they first introduced Steam as a requirement to play Counter Strike Source and HL2 (of course back then it was only for Valves own games).

I assume there may be some cutoff point, but what if you have a low number of people in the role say for example 2. Wouldn't that be pretty much narrowing it down to being per employee?

I don't run my car indoors because generally it doesn't fit through the door.

It's more they are focused on running ASP and CLI apps on Linux, there is no official MS GUI library/framework for Linux which is one big thing missing from modern .net, there are a couple of thrid party ones like Avalonia however.

Now if only they would add Linux support to MAUI.

I know the meme is Ted Cruz being the Zodiac killer, but are we sure it isn't actually RFK Jr?

The transition to the Manifest V3 framework means extensions like uBlock Origin can't use remotely hosted code. According to Google, it "presents security risks by allowing unreviewed code to be executed in extensions." The new policy changes will only allow an extension to execute JavaScript as part of its package.

Is this a badly worded paragraph, but is uBlock Origin really using remotely hosted code? I thought it was a different restriction in manifest V3 that stops as blockers being effective.

So Reddit gold?

I'm intrigued by what they class as a long distance train, are they counting domestic only services? I wonder if the size of the country plays into it as well as most of the top ones in that list are relatively small, so presumably less long distance routes, and they are presumably shorter routes as well so maybe less chances for delays.

How many of those brands actually have factories in the UK or are even owned by a UK company anymore.

MG are just a brand under the Chinese company SAIC and as far as I can tell don't have a UK factory, some quick googling suggests they are considering one last year but not sure how far that has got. And the majority of their models are EV.

Given Awdry was quite keen on accuracy to the real world engines (see the falling out with one of the first artists) I'm actually surprised there isn't more consistency with the liveries. The Culdee Fell Railway has all engines with the same purple livery, and I think from memory the steam trains on the Skarloey Railway are red, which is more accurate to real life as generally each railway would have its own livery.

I think earlier on when there were fewer engines it was less of a problem as they all had fairly distinct shapes being based on different real engine classes Garden and pre rebuild Henry probably being the least distinct.
