Hey Google... Go... Go Now.

Ok, so I have a downer on Google but if you saw the logs of the hack attempts on an almost daily basis originating from Google controlled IP addresses. Do they do anything about it? Do pigs fly? 
Their attacks include trying to scan every page on my sites. I have the robots.txt but they simply don't care. All they care is suck, suck, slurp, and suck.
I have blocked every Google IP address but they keep on registering new ones (according to whois)

What a lot of people forget is that in the UK, you can have 100+ TV channels at zero monthly cost by using FreeSat. A smaller number of channels can be had using FreeView which is broadcast like old-style TV. 
All that is needed is a compatible TV (most are FreeView OOTB) or a set-top box that can be had for the price of one month's SKY subscription.
Sure, you don't get all the so-called blockbuster movies and series that are shown on the premium subscription channels but personally, there is more than enough to watch using my PVR.
In periods when money is tight, services like Netflix or Sky will get cut. That is my take on the reduction in subscribers to some services.

Wait until the M3 rolls out across the product line 

it is shocking Mac market share is still below 15%.  Very hard to believe given what I see out there with my own eyes,  

My son’s college is 80% Mac now.  None of them will ever switch to Windows 

Just wait until they get a job in Industry. For most of them Windoze rules. Take it or leave the job. 
Sad fact of life.

I was thinking about investing in Homekit but if there was one thing that would turn me away from it forever, that would be it in a nutshell. If Apple implements this then you can count me out forever investing in any home automation system which is kinda ironic as my Masters degree is in Control Engineering.

I hate all forms of tracking and adverts but as I'm a grumpy old boomer, I don't count do I?

The imperialists will have their vengeance on those uppity colonies and their more dynamic and innovative industries.

Errrrrr???
The UK (as in the former imperial owners of the colonies) is no longer part of the EU. 
Have you never heard of BREXIT? We voted (wrongly IMHO) to leave in June 2016.
