You are the only one on Nairaland with this job 🤣😂 do raum and bas as well. Put your cmos battery to work

It's clear you don't understand the function of a CMOS battery.
And that CMOS battery seems to do more work than you do.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am dying here. Lol

Nobody asked the oldman started telling me about his cmos battery. You are using a system from 10 years ago. What kind of system you bought that came with a cmos battery in 2021 😂🤣

Just like gloriousgbola, you are using landfill too? Hahaha

Not sure why you think there is any shame in that.
In fact I used to refurb "older" computers and laptops from friend's companies to donate to my alma mater.

It's wild that you spend 8 hours a day here in what I hope is trolling (as I don't think anyone can be as idiotic as you).
But, you should really grow up. You have kids, you should stop acting like one.

That is different from Yorkshire region where the spot to fill is given to non whites.

There is discrimination in one no discrimination in the other.

They would both be discriminatory, since both would involve not hiring some who want the job to hire those who don't want the job. And in UK it will be against the law as it stands, which is why what you posted states the hirer wants to change the law, which he hasn't yet.

That said, it is well recognised in UK that the police force should reflect the community it polices. So if non-whites are not applying they will be encouraged to apply, just as South Easterners should be encouraged to join the Nigerian Army if they are not applying. No one wants an army full of Northerners, say, nor a UK police force full of whites.

He changed his mind because he doesn't want the proposed tariff income US would get from those items, or perhaps he's admitting its Americans who pay the tariff tax he's imposing, lol.

China should not budge! In fact, if I were them, I'd tariff exports of those items from China.

Are you okay?

From the your source

The team leader of the Year 2025 Nigerian Army Recruitment Awareness Team, Brigadier General Chima Ekeator, who was in Umuahia on Wednesday, stated that they came to sensitise youths from the South East on the importance of taking up the slots allocated to the region during the Nigerian Army recruitment

Every region has slot. South East is a region. Their slot is not being filled is not the same as going to a region (Yorkshire) and say you won't be hiring whites

North region in Nigeria already filled their slot, West filled their slot... I don't know how you are equating this to refusing certain race of people from applying

bemeruca:

No one except your whistleblower has said they are going to Yorkshire region and would not hire whites, and you believing they might does not change the fact they can't.

“Positive Action allows people from under-represented groups who express an interest in joining the force to complete an application, which is then held on file until a recruitment window is opened. No interviews are held until the window is officially opened to all candidates. Enabling people from under-represented groups to apply early does not give them an advantage in the application process, it simply provides us with more opportunity to attract talent from this pool of applicants.”

West Yorkshire Police has contacted media outlets this afternoon to advise of the inaccuracies within their reports and has respectfully asked for these to be amended as soon as possible.

It does not matter yet your just started telling me 😂😂 you can't afford a modern computer too?

At least you get sense, you don't think like GloriousGbola who thinks only Dell XPS and ThinkPad are worth using even if other computers can serve your needs. What's sad is he has been using a 2015 ThinkPad.

Good, you save money and all that. Look at GloriousGbola using 3 pc on one table with 3 monitors 😂🤣😂🤣😂

You mean your men,
52 yo men should be thinking about their children's school fees, not women's sex. Did your boy update you on how his daughter is doing at college?

What misfired in your head that made you start telling me about CMOS battery as you lie the system is from 4 years ago?

For someone designing RAMs that one was a blunder.

Of course, no one but there are evidence of it going on before the whistleblower.

Controversial police diversity hiring is occurring across Britain with one force even teaching its officers they have ‘white privilege,’ it emerged yesterday.

Thames Valley Police has taught staff about topics including ‘micro-aggressions,’ ‘white privilege,’ and the difference between ‘non-racist versus anti-racist’ as part of an equity training programme.

The training was introduced last September despite the force having been found by an employment tribunal to have positively discriminated against white officers a month earlier.

A detective inspector role that had not been advertised went to an Asian sergeant as part of a ‘positive action’ strategy, despite the force having been warned of the legal risks of not having a competitive process.

Positive discrimination is illegal in Britain, but ‘positive action’ allows forces to hire someone with a protected characteristic – such as having ethnic minority heritage – over another equally qualified candidate.

These clowns no serious. Flipflopping every minute after haphazard ill thought-out policies

bemeruca:

You would of course not see why Yorkshire Police can not do what you suggest since it is illegal.

Three white police officers have won a discrimination claim after an employment judge ruled they were passed over for promotion because of their race.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly8n6r6glgo

Now balance that with the following:

A black Metropolitan Police officer has described being treated like “an animal” by some of his white colleagues and accused the force of handing down “pathetic punishments” to those who have made racist comments.

He is one of 10 black and ethnic minority officers who told the BBC that racism is getting worse in Britain’s largest police force.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crger07nx4lo

If Yorkshire Police hire non-whites at the expense of whites, they'd be charged for discrimination and will be sanctioned and fined.

this clowns policies will lead to an immediate and unavoidable increase in IT capex. especially as most companies have four year replacement policy.

GEJs administration introduced import duty on vehicles but did not implement. When buhari came in, he implemented the policy and the result was that was the end of corporate nigeria buying vehicles for anyone outside of executives.

i was going to post that real American IT teams would have to start serious planning on managing their PC fleets beyond their designated EOL

add to that - devices are also used in schools that don't have that much budget to start with . now the prices for hardware would be even higher

and hospitals . i forgot that. and a lot of them upgrade mobile devices every year or two years.

After backpacker Rebecca Burke was arrested and locked up for nearly three weeks by US immigration ­officials, she started urging people not to travel to America.

Britons seem to have listened: the number of UK residents visiting the US was down 14.3% in March compared with the same month in 2024, official figures show.

I am not capping for anyone, I'm just pointing out your uninformed hypocrisy.

Police in UK is known to be racist, and that's why ethnic minorities don't join the police, and that's why the police are now doing what they can to address it, though what you are claiming is not it because that would be illegal.

We want our police to be woke. The alternative is they be KKK, which we definitely do not want.

Historically in policing, we have not fully represented the communities that we serve. We have only had around one-third of the number of BAME officers we would need to be representative of our communities. Colleagues have said to me, ‘Well why don’t they just join then?’, which ignores the disadvantages that many BAME candidates endure throughout their life – for example, socioeconomic issues, such as poverty and racism – as well as unconscious bias and a lack of role models in policing.

Most officers might not know that, compared with their White British counterparts, BAME candidates often have a lower chance of passing the National Police SEARCH Recruit Assessment Centre (College of Policing, 2019). There are lots of reasons for this disproportionality, and the College and police forces are working hard to overcome this.

When you deny reality you get frustrated when called out.

Labour has today been accused of making an 'utterly shameful' and politically motivated decision to water down a pledge to investigate grooming gangs targeting young girls.

Sir Trevor Phillips, the former chairman of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, lashed out after Jess Phillips appeared to row back on a pledge made by the Home Secretary in January.

After the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) found institutional failings and tens of thousands of victims across England and Wales, Yvette Cooper announced a £5million plan for probes in Oldham and up to four other pilot areas.

But Ms Phillips, the minister for safeguarding and violence against women and girls, last night stopped short of saying five inquiries would take place.

Let's not forget how they are pushing for lenient sentencing for others except white men and Christians
