    Depends how many things you are trying to route surely?
    If you then want to make sure that no collisions happen between routes that were planned at the same time, you could flag any of those routes to be double checked by another thread a little later.

    I mean, for £600 the alternative is to buy an iPad and run this...

    You don't even need a modern iPad to run it. My 1st gen iPad ran it perfectly fine. So that's closer to about 100 quid.

    You would need a device that will continue to get security updates for a while though. So a newer one would probably be a better idea. Generally companies and governments don't buy second hand for a whole host of reasons including security.

    Currently sat in a train station eating crisps, room is silent but with many people, only noise is me eating. Super awkward.

    The announcer keeps stumbling over their words and saying the wrong trains and then correcting themselves.

    That is why they're automated in New York.

    Sometimes they just get lazy and use TTS instead.

    That doesn't sound like optimism, that sounds like sarcasm.

    They often use automated systems in some of the stations. But when it gets busy they switch back over to humans otherwise it stops being legible. When they use TTS it sounds really musical in how they speak since it is usually to a rhythm with the pitch changing towards the end of each sentence.

    Equally this is a train station that deals with lot of local trains, trains that cover an entire segment of the country as well as trains that cover a large proportion of the length of the UK with (I think) 12 platforms in active use.

    I didn't really care about what they were saying, I only watched it for G-Man himself. IMO, he looked awesome.

    "Thou Shalt Not Steal" Says the stolen milk crate. This milk crate has been in my work truck almost a year now, I just noticed it today.

    So glad to have this laptop instead of the Atom tablet. Doing anything at 1080p is so much faster and is genuinely responsive since it runs 1080p native.
