There's not a thing you can disagree with here. As with everything, money trumps everything, including ethics. I'd like to think I would direct a club I owned, managed or played for to walk and leave the game behind.

The FA need to introduce points deductions for this kind of behaviour, fining clubs and banning individuals just doesn't work.

As for the clip itself, let's assume David Jones was being (poorly) directed to say what he said at the end. The reality is, balance isn't required in a debate like this. There's either racism or there isn't. This desire to entertain perceived balance in favour of representing the facts is why we have Brexit, anti-vaxxers and climate change sceptics.

Give us the facts, not opinions.

The smart home journey has been tough, trying to bring everything together through HomeKit has reduced the number of options dramatically. Lights are generally not a problem, but sensors, switches and plugs have been really tough to find.

Update

MacRumors with some more info on CHIP. This is actually quite exciting, if products like a Nest thermostat become compatible across ecosystems.

I really like these blind tests, but looking at the process, too much variation is possible. It wouldn't take much to make the photos truly comparible. Austin Mann and iPhonedo have created rigs for comparison tests in the past which are pretty good.

I love them all, but this was my favourite. I really should start collecting pins. Been a while since I bought one.

I love Italian football, I have a lot of fond memories from my youth, but it's a parody of competition at the moment.

Glad to see Roma and Milan calling them out but it's 2019, I have no idea why this needs explaining to anyone.

Genuinely shocked that this is still a thing in the UK, I thought phones had been unlocked for years now but apparently that's not the case. I may be insulated from this, as over the past 6 years I've been an iPhone user and bought them all directly from Apple who sell them unlocked in the UK.

Prior to that, my Android phone was bought from the network it was on and locked to. Before going with Android, I had a Nokia flip phone which came unlocked but that was from a store that offered it directly from the manufacturer and bundled it with a deal from a network.

Given the EU's track record on making usage across the continent cheaper for consumers, I'm surprised this isn't something they'd sorted out already.
