Rep Ramirez : "We don't live in a dictatorship or a monarchy.Trump's will is not the guiding doctrine of the nation and our country is not a playground for his and your twisted authoritarian fantasies." Mrs Ramirez absolutely annihilated Kristi Noem

I'm hoping that examples of justice are going to be there soon in America for us all to see. God help us all.

Very powerful forces are arraigned against us all, ie billionaires, the people that wrote 2025, and misled deluded ordinary voters who voted in Trump.

A prisoner voting ban shows again how few checks there are on Parliamentary power

Is this because Prisoners would almost always vote Labour, anything but National?

  Gmail set up
Posted by: Galaxy01 - 14-05-2025, 04:19 PM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (9)

I have gmail set up on my Android phone as well as on my PC using Outlook 2019.  They can both send and receive mails without issues.

But one thing annoys me is the synching:  when I delete an email from the Android phone , it also deletes from my Outlook 2019.

How do I set it up so that it works independently? like, any deletion will not affect the other?

Is it possible, at all?

Fool of a man.

  Health NZ to cut waiting lists with private healthcare

Interesting; it could possibly work but could also be the thin edge of the wedge to take us to a similar way of doing things to that in America. "Outsourcing to private hospitals" sounds good in  principle. In practice though, its likely to be more difficult.

  Ethernet cable questions
Posted by: CorylusMaxima - 13-05-2025, 10:22 AM - Forum: Computing and Technology - Replies (3)

I am totally confused about different types of cat6 cable, their uses and type of connectors required - and don't know what to believe from google AI.
My situation is that we are self buiding a reinforced concrete block building about 60m from an existing one of similar construction.
We will hopefully use amurinet to supply internet rather than our currently slow adsl, but as yet don't know which building it will initially go in to.
We are currently at the stage of wiring for the new building and making preparations.
I have bought a couple of Ubiquiti Nanostation Loco2 units to connect the 2 buildings and the instructions say shielded ethernet cable must be used.
I am wanting to connect each of these to a switch, which will also connect to the rest of the network.
My first question is can unshielded cable be used for the other switch connections without compromising the Ubiquiti units?
I will need to run lengths of maybe 25-30m along the walls depending on incoming position so I'm trying to find out what type of cable I need.
I have a reel of Cat6a cable (unterminated) which I was told was shielded but the markings say F/UTP which google says is foiled unshielded.
Is that any use for my intended setup?
If it is, what type of RJ45 plugs would it need, normal or shielded?
It's hard to see without stripping it, but it may have a separate ground wire as well as the twisted pairs - so where does that fit in the scheme of things?
Hope someone here can put me straight.

This beggars belief. To rely on your adversary's interpreters in such circumstances is unbelievably naive. Witkoff would have been totally flying blind in these negotiations.
