08:19:13 <MrMobodies> The Violin man said that WIX put up his yearly hosting bill to £130 for his website which is only a 4 page thing with a message form.
08:19:26 <MrMobodies> With the gigabit broadband and now he wants to run it inhouse
08:19:35 <MrMobodies> use to do that years ago
08:20:20 <MrMobodies> now with the minipc's, one with Pfsense, a quad port network card I put in and Gigabit broadband next week
08:20:45 <MrMobodies> he could buy another minipc just for that.
08:21:01 <MrMobodies> the only problem I won't be able to help with with the web server
08:21:29 <MrMobodies> and setting the Apache Mysql and the packages
08:24:22 <MrMobodies> yep Wix are putting up their prices

11:43:06 <MrMobodies> Got this Linx tablet
11:43:14 <MrMobodies> so hard to turn on
11:43:23 <MrMobodies> can't easily get into the boot menu
11:43:46 <MrMobodies> they put the buttons on the edge at the back where it could be pushed easily and put this stupid mechanism in place
11:43:52 <MrMobodies> form over function
11:44:19 <MrMobodies> if I press on, nothing, for a about 6 seconds it turns on and too late
11:44:28 <MrMobodies> if I press on with vol up it doesn't turn on
11:48:07 <MrMobodies> aah working
12:11:09 <MrMobodies> Absolutely disgusting:

12:11:11 <EEVBot> [url] Mesh repair rather than stitches reduces risk of recurrence of abdominal hernias in adults | evidence.nihr.ac.uk
12:11:31 <MrMobodies> I could tell "it needs evidence" that it was biased towards it.
12:12:07 <MrMobodies> I read that it requires more surgical skill to use sultures and takes longer than mesh. In 2002 I watched a documentary.
12:12:58 <MrMobodies> oh sorry 2022, in 2002 a man had an injury to his upper leg, he was told that if he had mesh "he could be out that door in 30 minutes instead of 2 hours"
12:13:19 <MrMobodies> in 2019 the mesh started to break apart and got lodged in his flesh and organs
12:13:58 <MrMobodies> aaah it says in the article "The included studies were randomised but were subject to some biases"
12:14:55 <MrMobodies> if I have to have surgery I do not want plastic slapped on it.
12:15:32 <MrMobodies> a stupid idea for something small like a hernia that could cause a lot of damage in future
12:16:30 <MrMobodies> anyone here had any surgical mesh implanted in them or sultures?

12:21:05 <MrMobodies> 2017 and they are still using that crap.
