What products are affected by the new law?

the UK has made it illegal for bad passwords to be used as defaults

"admin & "12345" new laws in the UK aim to make it tougher for cyber attacks to succeed and increase consumer confidence in the security of the products they use and buy

Under the new regime, manufacturers will be banned from having weak, easily guessable default passwords like ‘admin’ or ‘12345’ and if there is a common password the user will be promoted to change it on start-up.

One big question for whoever takes over is how do they pass legislation without a majority in parliament.

SNP seeks new leader as divisions are exposed

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-68925698

On top of those troubles the party is under the shadow of a police investigation into its finances which has seen former chief executive Peter Murrell, the husband of Ms Sturgeon, charged by police.

SNP are dying a slow death they are hanging on for dear life

So with Humza Yousaf falling on his sword, who's likely to take over?

One name doing the rounds is that of the former deputy first minister John Swinney.

He's widely seen as an experienced, popular, safe pair of hands in the party.

Kate Forbes is another obvious contender. She narrowly lost to Humza Yousaf in the SNP leadership contest which saw him become leader.

yes we have Alba but Alex Salmond cmon fuck that ....Greens laughable....Lib dems even more laughable....tories meh they always get roughly same vote each time

there is still a vote of no confidence going ahead - She explains that one vote was submitted by the Conservatives, and the other by Scottish Labour. But whether or not they will both go ahead "will be decided over the course of the next day or so", as debates still need to take place.

So, i never looked at news to see what happened yesterday....

seems the first minister has left the building after a full year of turmoil Scotland needs a REAL leader and we need to ditch the SNP chaos

choices aren't great Labour is really the only other party Scots could vote for...
