Polar bears make ideal undercover agents at the white cliffs of Dover, since no-one can see them. Perhaps they've already been deployed?- Owen Smith

Can You Pass The Life In The UK Test?
Parliament cannot do whatever it wants at any time. It has to abide by current UK laws, or pass a new law that says what they want to do is legal. See for example sending immigrants to Rwanda which the courts judged to be illegal. Government eventually managed to pass a law making it legal, but...- Owen Smith

Can You Pass The Life In The UK Test?
I think it's more that almost all Brits have no idea how much damage British colonisation did to every colony, with much of that legacy still having serious consequences for today's geo politics. Given most Brits are totally ignorant of this it is arguably correct that a test about being British...- Owen Smith

I'd argue of the list given they are Fables. But I would also argue they're not really any of the 4 answers given. That one is going to be a random number generator for most of the UK population.- Owen Smith

HDR-fox-T2 poor signal strength
Foxsat-HDR is a different product, it is quite unlike the HDR Fox T2 and especially in the RF reception handling (satellite vs terrestrial). I don't think anything can be read into Foxsat-HDR signal quality handling when talking about HDR Fox T2. These are all idiot meters with no absolute...- Owen Smith

Options for Domestic Wired Networking / Broadband
They always insist that each "engineer" visit starts in your premises and works backwards towards the exchange.

I see plenty of lack of evidence on all sides in recent posts on this thread. For example I have no evidence of most ethernet switches being unmanaged, but others equally have no evidence of the opposite. So we'll have to call it quits and move on.- Owen Smith

And in my experience they will complain about how poorly their wifi works at the opposite end of the house from the router where they actually want to use it, while failing to do anything about it. When I suggest either moving the router or adding ethernet switches and a separate wifi base...- Owen Smith

What is it with hummy.tv? Why is there so much attacking people? I'm not in the same county at the moment, but it's only the best selling gigabit ethernet switch. EDIT: NetGear GS108. Built so solidly that they and cockroaches will be sharing the post nuclear blast world.- Owen Smith

Your router will have another MAC address for your home network hard wired ethernet ports. The world facing connection is ADSL or VDSL (assuming you are using an all in one router) and doesn't work the same way. MAC addresses are ethernert/wifi things. Ethernet switches don't have MAC...- Owen Smith

But if you check wifi basestations they list two separate MACs, one for 2.4 and one for 5 GHz. It may depend on whether the device is capable of using both simultaneously, basestations are and phones often are not.- Owen Smith

The Humax boxes don't rotate their MAC addresses. I doubt much home AV gear does, there's no point it doesn't get used on the move. But yes if your phone is rotating MAC addresses and you give it a meaningful name on your home wifi, the name will be lost (attached to an unused MAC) next time...- Owen Smith
