Techrights Turns 20 in Four Weeks

And I’m just passing time with our animals until then

Last night the young birds stayed until it was rather dark. I think their biological clock or instincts are maladjusted. They eventually both flew away – at the exact same time – after 6:40PM.

Today it’s a sunny day, well suited for a round of feeding in the park (in the late afternoon) and I urgently need to find a heating body for my fish tank, otherwise the tetras will need to move to Rianne’s tank, which can be warmed up.

I’ll have a good look this morning at the Sunday Market.

The nights are getting cold and sometimes the days too (with gusty winds that make it chilly). We are, after all, just weeks away from Halloween.

We are now 4 weeks away from Techrights@20 (anniversary), so we need to give a thought to plans. It needs not be anything expensive or extravagant, just special.

In a way it’s hard to believe 20 years have passed since I began writing in Techrights. 20 years is two decades or about half my lifetime!

I’ll need to liaise with other Techrights people and figure out how we can collectively mark the milestone.

Maybe Techrights can introduce some major new feature?

The Raspberry Pi Storage Cost Problem

Two issues

Rubenerd

The blogger Ruben Schade, who says he’s an “aspiring human” that’s “into retrocomputing”, has had bouts of depression. He was being trolled online. I spoke to him about this in past years and I think it made him feel better. He regularly blogs about his everyday life, not just about Tech (or tech), and he promotes BSD and GNU/Linux.

“I think I’m done with the Raspberry Pi,” he wrote some days ago. I can relate. My wife sold her Raspberry Pi some years ago and I stopped using mine 2 years ago. To me, the main issue was the storage; not the cost of it… but the reliability. Running a Raspberry Pi system on a microSD card is a mistake. Even with a high-reputation card maker, the card would barely last a year. I tried about 4 times. Always the same outcome.

I, like Schade, am done with Raspberry Pi.

When a Law Firm is in Contempt of the High Court

Seriously.

The skeleton in cow’s skin is lying today. He is chopping off context from a sentence to change the meaning told regarding British law while he’s hiding in America. As a friend put it, “is that fraud or is it perjury or is it contempt of court?”

We’ll soon cover examples wherein the party alleging contempt of court is itself regularly (and many times) in contempt of court.

It relies on us not having the financial means to hold them accountable for contempt of court.

Nobody is above the law, not even law firms.

Brett Wilson LLP v Schestowitz

They are hijacking Americans’ cases, using American money

Two weeks ago the “hired guns” made it known to me what they were truly afraid of. It was the sort of thing that made them ‘pass out’ (seeing what I would cover next). A friend has said this post is “missing reference to restricted boot” and that “without the references, it always looks like a personal spat to newcomers to Techrights”. Having said that, the post is an index of articles that all mention restricted boot. “Please remember,” the friend said, “1) always bring up restricted boot if bringing up [these maters] 2) the article you are writing may be the first that people read on Techrights…”

I explained that GGG are “meat proxies” for whoever stands to benefit from what GGG (“Restricted Boot” Garrett, “Microsoft Plagiarism” Graveley & “Gas The Jews” Lozza) do to me and to my family. A friend says that they are, in effect, like “work gloves” or “catspaws” for someone else. We now know they’re manipulated and used by somebody else. Brett Wilson LLP is either funding this or is being funded to attack me and my family.

Denials of this are not sustainable. That matter was brought up before a judge (by my barrister).

This is why they’ve been dubbed “hired guns”.

Breaches of Civil Procedure Rules in the UK (Not That the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Would Care)

Is this country still governed by actual laws?

Today marks a year since a hearing we were not invited to because hired guns tricked a court while breaching Civil Procedure Rules.

This is a topic I’ll be covering one day. It’s definitely in the public interest to know when rules are breached by so-called ‘law’ firms to exploit tragedies and cover up strangulation of women.

When Planes Go Missing or the “Enemy is Within”

Can one trust air crews?

Dubai plane

THE BBC says that one pilot attacked another in a plane – reminiscent of what happened in Germanwing when one pilot locked the other out of the cockpit (the more senior pilot blocked) to crash everyone into a mountain.

That makes one wonder what happens to some (still) missing places like the one from Malaysia.

Corruption in Europe

Yes, in Europe

A place in Norway

Today it’s above 20 degrees again (it was last night as well), so sunbathing was feasible whilst at the same time coming up with ideas for articles and snoozing in between. October is exactly half a day away and I have ideas of EPO coverage that can impact patent affairs.

Corruption in Europe needs to be spoken about, even if there is a tendency to focus on Russia, China, and the US.

Corruption is everywhere, says an old adage; that’s not an excuse for looking away or not reporting it.
