My client laptop is windows - it has a touch screen which is useful for when the trackpad occasionally (fairly often) fails.A touchscreen PC is a pain in the arse, apart from a few very specific use cases.Apple will reportedly launch a 'MacBook Ultra' this year featuring an OLED display, touchscreen, and a higher priceWho wants a touchscreen Mac? I don’t see the point
An ultra luxury iPhone Ultra and now a Macbook Ultra, going to be an expensive year in TSE household.
If nothing else, the screen gets covered in fingerprints and always needs cleaning.
I have an iPad if I need a touch screen for something.
It also can’t cope with 2 27” screens with the fan whirring from the moment I switch it on at home

I have all the toilet rolls in Norfolk. I am now de facto King of East AngliaIs this going to be like that incident from a few years ago, when a couple of stations in a specific area ran out of petrol, but Radio 5 Live could talk about nothing else for six hours, treating it as a national emergency and setting off panic buying among all the road warriors who spend their days listening to the radio.Has anyone used the governments new petrol price finder website? Perhaps it also has a code for "no fuel available..."
Some sites have new functionality...

Only because the entire run of 512gb M3 Ultras have been sold far earlier than Apple plannedThe MB Pro Max top model has 48GB RAM as standard, upgrade to 128GB costs £1,000 extra.I suspect 128gb of memory will be essential for Devs going forward given how AI works - I think the spec for the 14” Mb I would get is £5500 ish - although as I bought a Studio earlier this year I can’t justify it just yetApple will reportedly launch a 'MacBook Ultra' this year featuring an OLED display, touchscreen, and a higher priceI managed to spec a new BM Pro on the UK Apple Store up to £7,448.

Not sure what an even more expensive one looks like.
I managed to spec a Studio up to £12,299. That one has 256GB.

Maybe one of those irregular verbs from Sky. Two invading Israeli soldiers are killed; 400 Lebanese presumably mostly civilians are merely dead.A mostly peaceful incursion

Petrol in Dubai is around 50p/litre, which is roughly what the price would be elsewhere if there was no tax on it.Rising fuel prices are great for the chancellor all that tax ontop of tax.Tax on top of tax on top of tax.
Tax the Crude Oil, then tax the Fuel, then add VAT on top.
It’ll probably be going up a bit in the next couple of weeks though! Thankfully I’m mostly working from home so won’t need to buy much of it!
