fun fact: the uk tv license rules say im allowed to watch TV on my laptop when im at uni, but ONLY IF said laptop is not currently plugged into the wall
just an absolutely majestic rule lmao. so entertainingly arbitrary
daisychaining 3 battery packs together so i can bingewatch taskmaster without having to stop to use the wall outlet
do the tv license people still patrol around looking for rule breakers, is it worth me investing in a magsafe cable so i can dramatically unbreak the law if it comes to it

@mynotaurus

No. They have a database of every single street address in the UK of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and assume that every address has a television set and is watching the Tory Propaganda pumped out by the BBC and the drivel excreted into the electromagnetic spectrum by the independents. Any address that does not have a TV Licence is assumed by them to be breaking the law and will be bombarded by vaguely threatening letters. I have a large collection of these letters.

@Cadbury_Moose @mynotaurus the best bit is that you are under no obligation to respond to those letters, let any "inspector" it, or even tell any "inspector" the truth, or even acknowledge them.
