My brand spanking new work laptop just died. No warning. Simply shut down. The SSD is empty and unrecoverable (apparently) so everything I did this morning is gone. Luckily I back stuff up to my network share so at least I can go back to where I was on Friday. Still, pretty p'd off as also takes a day to reinstall everything.

Aren't you at least going to throw the manufacturer under the bus?
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

Seconded. Manufacturer name and item number, please, so none of us buy the same turkey.

it's DELL he's said as much. Every other manufacturer he has denied. Not sure if he means Dell the computer brand or the name of the bloke in Peckham he bought it of.

No: for all I know it was something I did and not a crappy SSD.

A decently designed laptop would not allow you to do that kind of thing! Name and shame. It's the only way to get closure!

The Data Packaging Tool main window contains three tabs: Unsigned Data Files, Signed Data Files, EFT Generator and TMS Packages.
(from the Ingenico documentation)
Even the screenshot shows 4 tabs.

Let us count them using the html-"ol" tag.

- Signed Data Files,
- EFT Generator and

Looks correct to me

Um, what is it they do, again?

Beer this week.
Then I'm onto the 10% apple cider that's nearly finished. The champagne yeast I have could take it to 18% but if heightens the chance of it tasting nasty. If I've gone too far, we'll just distil it.
Though (perhaps very boringly) I'll admit that your 'forgetfulness' when it came to using the word "think" made sink seem like the natural option. When we can't think so well, we er, sink, after all.

The last time I bought high-octane cider, I stuck it in the freezer for too long, and ended up with a lump of ice and some *really* good burn-your-tubes-on-the-way-down alcohol.
But I was referring to this[^]

That's hillarious, I've the vaguest memory of having seen it somewhere before.
Anyhoo, bravo old chap - that laugh was most enjoyable.

There are versions with subtitles, but it's so much funnier without.

What I called 'cold distallation', many moons ago. When friends and I got together for winter camping and snowmobile racing in Alaska, by leaving Boone's Farm wine out in a pan overnight, we got some killer flavored high-proof 'stuff'.
