It’s the unstoppable force and immovable object and it’s the DUP in the middle of all this again. It seems the only solution is to extend the thinking period until someone sees some sense and a way is found. I support locking them in the Palace of Westminster with I’m a Celebrity style catering and dunny until white smoke is seen.
Have you seen the statement from the food retailers on no deal? I suppose they can just be ignored like Airbus and the car manufacturers as another aspect of Project Fear?
BTW Graham Dearsley is the Graham Ed is referring to.
AS I understand it under WTO rules if you have no border controls in Ireland then you can have no border controls anywhere as it would be discrimination.
Irish apples come through the border, no checks. American apples come through Dover, checks. Discrimination.
There is some talk of invoking some sort of National Security excuse (I can’t follow the argument) but that would put the border down the Irish Sea.
As with all these things there are rules to abide by and we cannot just say we won’t implement this or that without consequences. But those consequences are never mentioned.
Freudian slip ? ?
How will WTO improve our trade? You suspect very little loss of exports but they will be worse. What about the imports we rely on (and also make up part of our exports)? Will they be cheaper? Even the most optimistic models with 0% tariffs say that won’t be so. I don’t want another 20% price increase like we had after the referendum and the £ plummeted, things are bad enough business wise as it is.
How many businesses have warn about the JIT model and many other aspects of leaving the frictionless customs arrangements? Fingers in ears, keep the faith, dismiss anything that doesn’t fit the argument. Project Fear and they’ve been put up to it by the Remain Establishment (straight out of the populist handbook). The Tewkesbury MP the other night was implying that if Airbus want to trade in this country they must respect the wishes of the people over their own. Well they have already said how that will play out.
I don’t see anyone saying we will only remain if this that and the other apart from the Leavers pre referendum (of course there will be areas people would like to see reformed but not chucking out the baby with the bath water). Contrast that to Leave. The various factions are as split as ever over what Leave means and refuse to compromise with each other whilst asserting that their view is the one people voted for.
Then there’s the not inconsiderable 48% who still deserve a say on what shape our country will be in. If you cannot bring us with you it will ultimately fail when the backlash begins. People will be moving from Leave to Remain as the promises fail and that 4% is a perilously small margin to treat with contempt.
The Scottish Referendum – it’s the principle of independence not the EU aspect. Surely your arguments for leaving the EU apply equally to the Scots leaving the Union? To me they seem identical (and equally deluded).
Crystal ball time. I think we will leave on March 29th, may be a bit later, with TMs deal basically as it is. The ERG will continue to play chicken until Yvette Cooper’s amendment gets passed and they see no Brexit staring down at them.
Then we can get down to the serious job of negotiating the final deal and I hope a General Election will help shape that but I fear another stalemate and years and years of this crap. The main parties are split, we could do with a system based on Leave or Remain not Left and Right.
I thought Trump didn’t believe in interfering in other countries.
Ah, they have a lot of oil.
I believe if you enable SMS 1.0 the Computer Browser service comes back. I’m not sure if this means you’re actively using SMS 1 (I think not) or if the vulnerabilities associated with it are there (probably).
A Linux technique you use doesn’t work in Windows doesn’t mean it isn’t fixable. Linux doesn’t have a System Restore baked into the o/s but so long as it gets fixed ?
TBH my preferred method is a periodical (monthly) bare metal (system) backup with a daily data (incremental) backup. I keep 4 of the monthly backups and 14 of the daily. If I make some spectacular changes I can always do a system backup on demand.
I use EaseUs ToDo Home and have tested the restores in anger, indeed I’ve used the system backup and restore when a disk clone didn’t work. It’s been a while since I relied on a Linux desktop but remember I used Back In Time and it did the job just fine.
I can see why you’re rightly proud of what you did but these days I couldn’t be ar$ed, I need it simples ?
I haven’t seen Windows do a total balls up like that for years, I’m sure it happens at your work though ?
These days with W10 a reset will do the trick without losing any data or users if a system restore is out of the question. If you need to do a reinstall, which with a modern CPU and SSD takes about 10 minutes, if it detects an existing installation it will put this into a directory called windows.old so you can extract the data.
Windows 10 really has become very reliable, with the odd maddening glitch like the recent networking issues.
It seems that MS have turned off the Computer Browser service. That explains shares not showing up in File Explorer.
I use TightVNC and haven’t had any issues through all the Windows changes. I always use the IP address rather than a netbios name.
If it’s one of your Windows 7 MBR drives then I’d say any of the cloners would do the job. I’d use Easeus ToDo Backup Free, but make sure you download it from the UK site https://uk.easeus.com/download/tbf-download.html
I see you’re still playing if you’re a leaver you don’t believe in the country card. If we don’t believe the jingoist nonsense we cannot be patriots. Well we are but we believe we’re better off in the EU than outside it.
I don’t think it patriotic to lead the country into an economic nightmare where we’ll have to run to stand still. I have still not seen any evidence that these wonder deals we will do will even compensate for what we’re about to lose, never mind exceed it. It seems like the existence of Heaven you must be a believer and not question, unless someone can enlighten me with some real facts. Not some nonsense over the worth of this country or that but what will be the meat of these deals and how they will be better. Don’t forget you need to detail the downside too, so any talk of zero % tariffs must include the negative impact of that policy.
What argument do you use for the Scottish Nationalists wanting to break up the Union? Or do you believe that like England, in your eyes they would be best served going it alone?
As for the EU being split on how to deal with Brexit, some sound bites from a few politicians with differing ideas doesn’t mean the “EU” isn’t united when push comes to shove. On our part there isn’t even the pretence of a united front even within a political party, or even the cabinet! It might help if we could actually agree what it is we want.
At least we Leavers are united in what we want, it would help immensely if the Brexiteers could stop the infighting and got on and actually agreed a plan. Let’s face it there are too many vested interests and I’m not sure many of them go past personal ambitions and the “national interest” seems a very flexible thing.
Are you using the computer name or it’s IP address to connect?
It could be the CPU. All the chipsets are by default pci-e 2, the CPU makes it pci-e 3 and adds lanes and changes interrupts. What it adds (or doesn’t) is determined by whether it’s 7th Gen or Ryzen.
As I mentioned there is a complicated table plus as SATA Express didn’t take off OEMs repurpose the two in the chipset to other things like M2 and NVMe drives. There is a relationship between what the pci-e slots can do and whether you’re using an NVMe drive. The chart below doesn’t include the interrupt changes.
Well the build is complete. I used a top mount PSU case so you won’t be seeing any photos ? It’s as tidy as I could make it but not very pretty. With the lack of drives and graphics cards I could do with a PSU with just the ATX and 8 pin 12v cables without shelling out for a semi-modular PSU.
The Athlon 200GE is very impressive, doing all the software installation and setting up duties it’s extremely responsive. Indeed I can’t tell the difference between it and much more expensive CPUs. So for office duties it’s perfect and I suspect you’ll have to really push it to find the difference.
I still stand by the 2200G for people here but if you really need to save money, get the 200GE and a B450 rather than a 2200G and an A320.
For media centre type builds it’s as near silent as you can get, even with the small stock HSF. It looks small enough to fit in even the small media centre type cases. No problems with fouling the ram slots with this one.
The mobo is fine for my purposes but only has a single 1 x pci-e alongside the 16 x pci-e. If you need more the MSI B450M PRO-M2 I used on the Ryzen has two 1x slots.
I’m amazed at what a £50 CPU can do. Marvellous ?
EDIT – that’ll teach me. Last job, turn on Bitlocker only it won’t. I checked the BIOS to make sure it ‘d found the TPM module (with MSI you need to explicitly enable it) and it had, and enabled it. But I didn’t notice that AS-Rock’s defaults have CSM turn on so I had a non secure booting MBR hard drive. Just reinstalling everything on both PCs ?
There was a local politician on last night, from Tewkesbury I think, but he doesn’t have any Airbus near him. He says Airbus should respect the decision of the voters. What a clueless tw*t.
My mate says the shareholders would never let it happen. I asked who he thought the shareholders were and he said BAE and lots of British investors. Another clueless tw*t.
This is the problem, people make decisions on what they think reality is without doing any checking of the facts. If I hear another person say that the USA trades with the EU under WTO rules without mentioning the bilateral side agreements grrrr. When they’re caught out they have no answer but keep peddling the same half truths at the next opportunity.
Bob, there is no chance of something that small getting anywhere near never mind in an engine. You’re talking about toys with no range at all and no power behind them. As much chance of an RC car causing a pile up on the motorway. It’s the old knee jerk reaction.
Much worry hereabouts with the Airbus declaration, something I’ve mentioned consistently since the start of all this but it’s still being dismissed by the fingers in ears brigade. I wonder if Lord Snooty will take a short trip up the A38 to debate his strategy at the factory gates?
I’ve got 2 x Athlon 200GE builds to do tomorrow, but with ASRock B450M-HDV mobos as I needed a TPM module (all the business builds I do now are W10 Pro with Bitlocker encryption).
The 2200G is only £50 more but would have bust the budget I had to work with. As they are only office machines that will be fine, from what I’ve seen the 200GE are comparable to the 6th Gen Pentium G which used to be my CPU for this sort of machine. An SSD makes the biggest difference and a 240GB is now only £35
If the start up takes off it’ll be easy to drop a Ryzen in at a later date if we need to. But for everyone here, spend the extra £50 now, you won’t regret it. Also avoid the A320 mobos, there are just too many compromises.
WOF, you still don’t get it. That is the tariffs we will charge others not what others will charge us. This is not the terms under which we trade now because the EU will be charging us those very same tariffs you listed vs the zero % we enjoy now.
That’s why the Welsh hill farmers will face obliteration as a 40% tax will be charged on their products by their biggest market.
The fishermen, who’s biggest market is also the EU, will face a 12% tariff on cod and prawns and 23% on sardines etc. etc. I saw an interview with some today and they think their customers will just suck up that increase. Ask yourself, would you?
If we lower tariffs we do so for the whole world, there can be no exceptions. If as Tim Martin (Wetherspoons) and Lord Snooty propose we charge zero% tariffs who will want to do a free trade deal with us? They will already have free access to our markets whilst we pay for access to theirs. Why would they want to change that? Would you?
Perhaps you would if you wanted to sell us goods we currently won’t accept, like chlorine washed chicken from the US or dodgy pharma from India. Or you want to have access to other things, like India wanting the immigration cap lifted.
The numbers have been crunched on zero% tariffs using the most favourable scenarios of the ERG and they will lower prices overall by 1%, that will be more than drowned out by the inevitable inflation caused by the drop in sterling.
For Gods sake wake up and stop swallowing all that is being fed to you. Do some research and find out what they aren’t telling you because if it comes from a politician there will be loads they aren’t telling you. Then ask why they aren’t.
If after all that you are still keen on Brexit and No Deal, fair enough but don’t try and persuade people that it will be sunny uplands without admitting what the downside will be. And that includes all the other things besides trade, yes even planes flying will need a deal, it won’t just happen because it makes sense because the world of commercial contracts doesn’t work like that.
There isn’t a Remainer here who has said the EU is perfect and doesn’t need some sort of reform, although reading VFM’s spin you would think we did.
You are absolutely nuts if you think No Deal is an answer. But I half hope you get your way so that people can see just what lies they’ve been told. It’s about so much more than the WTO rules everyone keeps banging on about and they’re bad enough.
If you truly believe what you’re saying there is no room for discussion. It’s like trying to talk someone out of jumping off the bridge when they’re half way down.
Who does he think he is? Theresa May? Wow, I just scored a spectacular own goal. Never mind, I survived. Carry on facing the wrong way and put your foot to the floor.
Perhaps he’s trying to keep Land Rover in business?
Looks good, brought back some memories. Shame it won’t work with my laptop graphics, will try it on the workshop desktop when I get a chance.
