Online Banking would probably just have to… stop.

What will happen is usually what happens when the UK government introduces a brain melting stupid law (basically any time they do or say anything).

The government will suddenly find out that all the people that said that their stupid law won’t work, were right, and that it doesn’t work. Shockingly.

Then it will end up getting hastily revised into something moderately functional which will necessitate modifying it to the point at which it effectively doesn’t exist, and we all get on with our lives. Repeat process ad nauseum.

See the porn age verification law. Which never ended up happening.

Ignoring the British government is 99% of what makes someone British.

They are forever coming up with stuff like this. And just like your example with Australia, nothing ever happens, because the people who would be required to actually make it happen have no real interest in doing so, and the people who will try to get the law passed are too tech illiterate to be able to tell if it has or not.

If the sort of people who refuse to wear masks in a pandemic start suffering from neurological disorders, how are we going to tell?

It was going to be an MMO. But they are really expensive to make and have small profits margins, and I don’t think it got that far off the ground. I’ve never even seen anything like concept art for it.

Then it got turned into a book series, then that got turned into the TV show, and the game is a game of the TV show. The story in the books is a bit different and no one knows what the story of the MMO was like.

You’re saying the world is ending so it’s time to be a kind of unhelpful anarchist.

But that won’t achieve anything, no matter how sarcastic you are.

I’m sure I’d get a faster speed than that in a piece of string.

Honestly that sounds like the cable was damaged, was that really the actual target speed?

But, they only have 3 days to find out.
