WOW :o This is amazing, I can see my house perfectly and work. They really have covered the UK well.. even some country roads that have no people for miles are on Street View.

It's quite unbelievable...

i think its just an excuse for the driver to have a paid sightseeing road trip

Sweet, they got my house. Somehow. I live in the middle of nowhere too!

*laughs* They took the picture when we had builders in too. Theres buckets of paint and vans everywhere. Brilliant.:cry:

Wow you guys park on the curb / sidewalk? we'd get a big fine if we did that here....

A lot of places the roads are not big enough to park on whilst allowing room for other vehicles to pass safely. It is annoying for us people that have to walk on the paths though but it's not really the car owners fault.

You can do it as long as the curb isn't dropped (for drive ways). To be honest though you'll get in more trouble if you don't park on the curb because people get proper angry because they can't get by. :laugh:

There are certain road markings on roads. In residential areas you're allowed to park on the curb since there is literally nowhere else to park.

But if you see a double yellow line, your ass will be fined if you park over it.:shiftyninja:

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
