Pi.
I see it requires a Raspberry PI v4, 8GB model.
I've been trying to think of an excuse to buy the 8GB model. Now I have one!

Re: Figures
The problem Agile is trying to fix is having a project that takes X years to deliver then isn't appropriate because either the customer asked the wrong questions or the requirements changed and you couldn't change the design as it had been locked in.
The problem I've seen with Agile is that a section/module is shipped and then never updated as leasons are learned through the development of the complete project. This, as you mention, can lead to an incoherent product.
All methodolies have good and bad parts (for the project you're working on) The skill is picking the right parts for your project/circumstance.

Following Supreme Court ruling, Uber UK recognizes drivers as workers, offers min wage, holiday pay, pension

Devil in the detail
John Bull's written a lot about Uber both for London Reconnections & on Twitter. In a Twitter post last night he points out that Uber are only promising these benefits when someone is driving on a job. Waiting for a job is excluded.
Also, Uber have to do this after the courts ruling anyway. So it's not Uber being generous, it's Uber doing what a court told it to do.

Re: No excuse
Sure standards change, but they're rarely retrospective.
For example:
- What about when the standards for electrical wiring in the UK changes from Black/Red to Brown/Blue? Did everyone rip out all their old wiring overnight? Nope.
- What about when asbestos was banned. Was asbestos removed from everywhere immediately? Nope.
And I bet the standards for data centers aren't legal standards either, just industry ones.

It's almost as if this isn't remotely relevant and is just more tedious Tory bashing from this once great website.
I think you'll find the media tend to bash the party in power because they're the one's f**king up. At the moment Labour are getting a free(ish) ride as they're not in power so can't do anything expect emit hot air.

After 40 years in the Digital Sector I have never experienced such appalling Customer Service.
If you think Apple Customer Service is the worst, you must have had a very sheltered life in IT.
(I'm not saying Apple Customer Service is great - but it's a heck of a lot better than many other vendors)

Re: Similar problem
In Welsh "y" is a vowel (and I recall that "w" can be at times too). So what might look like a bunch of constanants to a monoglot probably isn't. e.g. The Welsh for "hospital" is "Ysbytwy". No English vowels but plenty of Welsh ones.
Remember kids, there is more than one language & alphabet out there.

Upon visiting Argos one dark and stormy night, I discovered entering one particular product code caused the tablet to crash. The store was quiet and I entered that product code into all the store's tablets.
(And before anyone complains, the tablets auto-rebooted after a few minutes so the store wasn't stuffed)
Other than some childish glee, I left the store empty handed.

Re: In hindsight
In hindsight, the referendum question should have been a 500+ page document
I don't think the people who voted for Brexit actually understood what they were voting for because no-one had worked out the implications. Soft Vs Hard, etc.
The referendum was a sop to Farage that spectacularly backfired.

Citibank accidentally wired $500m back to lenders in user-interface super-gaffe – and judge says it can't be undone

Re: Ergonomics: had it happened before?
Please go back and re-read the article.
The underlying company (Revlon) were, financially, in the shit. CitiBank were "helping" to refinance Revlon's debt. All the debters were aware of this, so a debter having their debt repaid, to the penny, wasn't wholely unexpected.
You're arguement about enforcing a contract is completely moot. The companies already had a contract! It would have said something like: "We loan you $X dollars for Y years. You pay us interest at Z%. You can repay the full amount at any time."

Re: Failure in understanding
"Everyone involved had different and incorrect understandings of what the end result should be"
No. All three CitiBank employees had the same understanding: The transaction was only to make an interest payment hence the special account code being entered into the "Internal GL" field and the "Override default settlement instruction" box being ticked.
The problem is that to achieve the desired outcome not only did the "Principal" field need overriding, but also the "Front" and "Fund" entries.
Also, it appears the oversight (Human and automatic - there *was* some sanity check in the code, right?) failed here too.
The computer was asked to make a money transfer and it did what it was instructed to do: Make a money transfer. The problem is that the UI was so lame that the computer was asked to make the wrong transaction by the meatbags. No computer fault: All human.

Re: How sad do you have to be ...
Come to think of it, how sad do you have to be to subscribe to a service to pedal an exercycle in the first place?
Some people like to exercise solo. Some like to exercise in groups. Zwift (et al) allows people who like group exercise to get their hiit during lockdown.
Just 'cause you don't use/like a service doesn't mean it's a waste of time & money.

Brit registrar 123-Reg begins 2021 in much the same way it ended 2020 – with DNS issues

BIND/DNS itself is stable technology. It's their pretty UI/Frontend that appears to be causing the problems. It probably stores the user's configuration in a database then that DB is exported into a BIND file. I guess the problem is in the DB/Web app. DNS is still working as they probably stopped the DB->BIND exports.
