Banking these days requires a QR code apart from passwords, Wise has a double protection, i.e. a messaged code to my phone that gives a code number to be filled in on their site window. I have never had a problem with a virus or banking. Sometimes 'wise' will send me a message saying the computer I'm using is unknown to them (I only ever use the same computer) and I get an email asking if I am making the transaction with this 'windows 10 ??' computer, I say yes, despite having windows 7 not 10, and the transaction goes through. I have used computers for many years while working in a design department but I am not computer savvy, technology has never interested me. Why a should a 19 year old computer be any different to an old smart phone or a 20 year old car, both of which work trouble free. I recently had my Honda Jazz resprayed, it looks new inside and outside, I know people with the newest car and a load of debt....not for me. I bought my 18 yr son a new smart phone, 10,000 Baht, he gushed over all the features until I asked him what can it actually do that your old one couldn't...,he was at a loss to answer how the shiny new thing was really any different.

There is a difference though, she has every reason to lie as she is dependent on Trump for a pardon while lying is Trumps default mode.

in the UK we don't have ID cards, at least that was the case 56 years ago when I was last there.

my Honda Jazz is 20 years old, so far I've replaced the front and rear suspension, the clutch and the air con compressor, it's never let me down.

I don't know, I use my 19 year old computer and here I am. Incidentally when I 'clean' the computer every evening I've noted I'm still getting updates? patches? for my windows 7

Both were/are too old for the job, while age needn't mean a reduction in mental faculties but both Biden and Trump have obvious dementia problems.

Who doesn't read newspapers.

I have an old smart phone that my stepdaughter gave me when she bought a new one. I had a new battery fitted. I don't use it though, it sits on my desk all day, I haven't had the need for one. I've played around with it but I find my PC more convenient, it's attached to a large screen. A smart phone is just too fiddly, look at it the wrong way and the screen changes to another site. It's a Vivo, my 18 yr son thinks it's a good phone, he (me) bought himself a Samsung and tells me all about the wonderful features on it......it's <deleted>. I have a 10,000 Baht digital camera if I want good pics and I use the Vivo to phone up someone (rarely) and I only use the PC to send emails, read the news, watch films, brows Youtube etc. I don't do social media....facebook, X, whatsup and the like so I don't need to carry the Vivo around with me in case I 'miss something important'.

I don't install recent software, I have an antivirus program and have had no problems. Sometime ago I had the computer cleaned, amazing amount of filth inside, the tech guy offered to install windows 10 for me, my answer, ''don't you dare''.

What shall I say......I still use windows 7

Yes but we live in the real world.

He is a convicted felon, he sexually abuses women, he is a liar, he committed adultery with a porn star and he is a good Christian??

As in any big organization all that is needed are good people around a core of competent decision makers. A good president doesn't really run the country, he may give a general direction (providing his competent advisors can tweak and advise). The details are best left to a professional civil service unencumbered by political affiliations, it isn't possible for a minister to know the full machinery of a large ministry which is why he has his advisors in close contact with the civil service. Trump has caused chaos because he insists on doing everything alone, his only advisors are incompetent sycophants, yes men without a spine. Trump himself isn't very intelligent, he has no idea of history or geography, as his past business dealings have shown he is a terrible businessman, nor is he a good orator, he speaks like a mafia boss from the Bronx. He has a keen political instinct which he uses to survive, he is superficial with no philosophical or spiritual leanings, there is no depth to the man. In any European country he wouldn't even be considered as a department leader in a fast food restaurant, but America is an anomaly where dross rises to the surface.

I worked in Munich (BMW) and lived in Freising.

Same here, 36 years in Germany and 20 years in Thailand, I've never been back to the UK, it would seem like a foreign country to me now as so much changes over that length of time.
