I think we should all be kinder to the Guardian. It's been what, a month or so until they printed something rampantly transphobic? we should give them an award

Could we follow up the Keithbot from the podcast with a full deepfake op-ed writer? The goal is to get a regular column in the Guardian. I reckon you could do it within four months.

stev posted:They'll be running Vista and Office 2000 and the povvos will be drat grateful. LMBO you are right unless my math is wrong that's £200 per laptop (from the article in the tweet): quote:On 1 December, the Government released details of two contracts awarded to Computacenter for the provision of 59,900 devices, worth a total of £12.4 million. Looks to be about the price of a low-end chromebook (e.g. Dell Chromebook 3189). Private Speech fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Jan 13, 2021 |

Yeah, £207/laptop. At that kind of scale you could get some great deals, however looking at the evidence to date...

At least the laptop contract has gone to a company that, you know, actually does the thing the contract requires, unlike some of those PPE contracts that went to jewellery companies or transparently fake shell corporations or someone's loving Vinted account or whatever

Private Speech posted:LMBO you are right unless my math is wrong that's £200 per laptop (from the article in the tweet): Computacenter is owned by Sir Peter Ogden - he's worth something like £400m and has given over £25m to charity - largely to a trust he setup to teach children physics (he's a physics grad) but also to others I believe. As far as I can tell, he's *not* a Tory donor. That he's charitable and not apparently a Tory donor there might be a chance of them providing half-decent value for money but we'll see. I know a bit about him because I looked him up when we made a conservatory for him at my old workplace. He lives on Jethou, a private island out by Guernsey. According to those who met him he was a "nice bloke" but people say the same of Boris so...

BTW Jack Monroe says they got "politically lost" for a bit. Might mean they acknowledge that it was a mistake ever supporting the likes of Soubry, though they stop short of actually saying that. https://twitter.com/BootstrapCook/status/1349335427170390017?s=20

I used to work for Johnsons Workwear, who did the laundry for that Lochfyne fellow, and he is a loving grade a bell end. Would phone up last thing on a Friday, without fail, cursing and swearing and stressing out the office ladies while trying to wangle a discount. Was also constantly trying to nick things out the lorry. And went bankrupt and unbankrupt about a bajillion times.

VideoGames posted:Is this not similar to other centrists once he is out of the running to make actual changes, that now we campaign for change again - because her political wilderness seems to have ended after the election. I feel like this is more of a blunt apology and admission of fault than we've seen from other centrists: https://twitter.com/BootstrapCook/status/1349453299238502400?s=19 It doesn't change what happened when it was actually important but it's something.

Darth Walrus posted:https://twitter.com/chrisgiles_/status/1349389164345778177?s=21 Hospital admissions are still basically vertical though, and we're passing the March peak for patients on ventilators. I think the worst is very much still to come, and not just in a nice smooth "positive tests plus two weeks" curve - I'm scared we're going to hit the "switch off everyone over 85 to free up the beds" stage at least locally in the next few weeks.

Computacenter are the first company I'd call if I needed a shitload of hardware in a hurry - they're not the cheapest, but they're legit, and even do custom software builds etc so the stuff literally just needs turning on and it's ready to go.
