Unless one is interested in the [08:13] techrights[sec] hardware itself it would be of no use. What would be more interesting [08:13] techrights[sec] would be a set of diskettes. From reading, it seems like that's what was [08:13] techrights[sec] found in actuality.

[11:07] schestowitz-pi2 The CEO who left very recently knew nothing about this (or wasn't complicit) because he was not in the company at the time, but maybe he could see paperwork or was given verbal memos about this taboo subject. Maybe the inquest has, in its own right, motivated the departure (fear of being held accountable when real address was pursued). [11:16] schestowitz-pi2 Today ONS released new numbers. Total deaths England and Wales (2023) about 1,000 HIGHER than the same week a year earlier. Doesn't seem like we're improving.
