Also any of these will be far superior to anything from Currys

Only thing about Dells is that they can be a bit temperamental when it comes to ancillary things like the microphones and webcams on windows 11. The gremlins come out to play and they don’t work properly.

On about laptops heading to landfill sites, what became of that bloke's computer, who said his girlfriend accidentally binned it with info' on worth hundreds of millions of Bitcoin stuff?

The council refuse to let him have a look for it, whilst the council secretly and furiously looking for it themselves...

On about laptops heading to landfill sites, what became of that bloke's computer, who said his girlfriend accidentally binned it with info' on worth hundreds of millions of Bitcoin stuff? He went to court asking to be allowed to dig for it in the tons of rubbish it's buried under. Did he get the court's permission to use JCB's to search for it I wonder. Even if he did find it, would it still hold that vital info' potentially worth many many millions, or would rain, damp etc damage make it impossible to retrieve?🤔

An interesting one.

The carncil can't let him search because to do so breaches several environmental laws.

The court quickly concluded there was no legal argument over which they could order the carncil to break the law, and the case was thrown out.

On an unrelated note the manager of the site now arrives for work in a helicopter.

I just could not see him finding it, even if granted permission to search for it. Those council tips are massive, very wide and very deep! Imagine the disgusting things you'd encounter trying to find it! Plus you'd have to battle with the seagulls, rats and flies! https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co....se-whinney-hill-tip-frustrated-100s-seagulls/ They've been on about this tip on a local Facebook page, saying it's been stinking for days due to the low air temperature forcing escaping methane gas to settle at ground level.
