Might pay to read up on the luddites.

They protested against manufacturers who used machines in "a fraudulent and deceitful manner" to replace the skilled labour of workers and drive down wages by producing inferior goods.

Well, they can ...

Doctor's in the UK offer screening for Down's syndrome, Edwards' syndrome and Patau's syndrome at 10-14 weeks.

Please can you explain this in genetic terms?

As I understood it, sex is determined by the presence, or absence, of a Y chromosome, at the 23rd pair.

While exceptions exist, they're incredibly rare genetic observations and I have never heard or read it referred to as a "spectrum".

Lol, find me a tattoo artist that takes credit card and they can have my skin, twice.

I have no idea. But my gripe is the lack of a clear notice that "this is a paid article and you must be paid member to view it", it just says words to the effect "sign in to view".

Medium.com is absolutely rotten for this behaviour.

Not only putting the soft, "sign in to view" but then on some articles requiring a full hard paywall... But you only know this after signing in.

I'm not entirely against charging for well written articles; good writers deserve compensation, but don't tease me, make me jump through a hoop only to find there's another much higher hoop sitting beyond it.

I've been watching the 9 on eBay, and it was tempting.... but for the same price I could get a pixel 7a. The only loss would be the headphone jack, which I have finally come to terms with, I think!

I was on the fence about getting a ZenFone. But now, with knowledge there will likely be reduced updates or development, I'm swayed away and back to pixel.

Rip another phone manufacturer trying to do something to differentiate itself in a crowded market.

If you're on iOS 14 or higher, you can natively use a service that blocks ads via Encrypted DNS.

Sign up for NextDNS and create an adblocking profile. Then follow the set up instructions.

"in the cloud"

Well, the firm I work for won't ever implement it then. Back to pandas, nothing to see here.
