  • Talk about clickbait … Article title: trump can pull the plug on the internet and europe can’t do anything about it (my emphasis) First line: the U.S. could unplug Europe from the digital world (not “pull the plug on the internet”) And then further down: “The fatal vulnerability is Europe’s near-total dependency on U.S. cloud providers.”

    So first, it’s “the internet”, then it’s “unplug europe from the digital world”, then it’s “europe’s dependency on US cloud providers”

    So it’s NOT “the internet”, and it’s NOT “unplug europe”, it’s disconnect european customers from US cloud providers.

    Methinks Monseiur Pollet doesn’t understand very much about the internet.









  • I hadn’t used my CS6 for years but recently needed Premiere Pro. I hauled out the discs, installed it using an external optical drive, and searched old Outlook PST files for the serial number. It installed on my Win 11 laptop, and it activated when I typed in the serial number.

    Long live CS6! Adobe won’t get any more money from me.

    I did get lucky when I bought it, though. I ordered and paid for CS5.5 Education version, so that was about AUD$450 instead of AUD$2200, and what turned up was CS5.5, a free licenced copy of CS4 “to help with 32-bit to 64-bit transition” and a download code for CS6, as I’d ordered 5.5 after 6 had been announced. I ended up with licenced copies of CS4, CS5.5, and CS6 for AUD$450
