They seem determined to pretend that trying to achieve equity for everyone is really racism & they won't stand for that. 

Somewhere in their hearts (assuming they have such a thing)  they must know that what they want is, if not racism then far closer to it than what's been achieved so far. Which would tend to make many ACT MP's  hypocrites.


They're going to stop 'services based on race' - & using an Indian member, Dr Parmeet Parmar to do so.

anyone come across this, I have a client suffering from this for quite some time.  

After opening Outlook it works fine for a while, up to several hours, but eventually it locks up when the status bar message is showing 'Preparing to Send/Receive' - and it never progresses to an actual Send/Receive...  

In one photo sent to me I could see the reminders window showing the start of a 'not responding' in the title bar...

sleep disabled 
hibernate off
outlook in safe mode does the same
killing it via task manager allows restarting Outlook but not ideal...
Office 365, windows 11. 

It's been going on for a few months now, mainly due to client not wanting to pay me to fix this up until now, must have been driving her nuts all that time... 

a simple reinstall may well sort it but just curious to know if anyone has any insights into this...

Advising tourists to reconsider any trip to America;spending by non Americas is a significant source of tax revenue & there's no reason for tourists to indirectly support Trump's economy.

I have been trying NAS lately. I bought a 2nd-hand Synology DS 115j and had a 1TB and 2TB fail, and then the 115j packed a sad.

So I have bought a Qnap TS-133, which is a lot harder for me to work out compared to the Synology, I have just had a new Iron wolf 4tb packed up now trying to set up Qnap Is it me or a coincidence ?

I'm 83, and I just want something simple to store my music and video files. But I have to admit the Qnap is a pain to set up and work with.
