I decided to take the underground home from Kings Cross instead of a cab, and my aunty Caroline was the train driver, so she got out of the cab and gave me a big hug. Can't say I expected that.

Well that's a strange notification, Windows 11. Got anything to say for yourself? 'Windows Security. . Received on . Subgroup.'

In my hotel room, there is a USB-C port on the wall. Not a real plug, just a USB-C and USB-A outlet stacked on top of each other. I plugged my laptop into the USB-C outlet and found out that it's outputting just... 7 Watts. That was at around midnight. It's now 05:41 and I thought I'd wake up […]

I felt like taking a picture from the train I'm on out of the window, and really liked the description I got from the #AI. My daughter back home also said it was a good picture, so thought I'd share it here as well. Now of course she could have just been humouring me, I don't know 😂

NASA Engineer EXPOSES TERRIFYING Tesla Flaws! WTF?! https://youtube.com/watch?v=umR89o-xFHU&si=Mw2tk5HGnwEBn5-p

Imagine if the mouse had never been invented. Imagine how many more pieces of software would just natively be way more accessible out of the gate...

Keep getting dirty spam from an account calling itself 'Nicole' anyone else? I won't give it the luxury of tagging it, but I just keep blocking them.

US state medium Voice of America has been transmitting radio news internationally since 1942, but Trump thinks they are “corrupt” and “illegal” and pulls the plug, sending 1300 employees on administrative leave. 83 years of US history gone overnight… because Trump felt like it. Now Putin can […]

I was in a panic. Everything I owned was in that car—now driving away, leaving me panting on the roadside, chase aborted. Casting around for aid I see…a phone booth. Yes we still have them in this country, when they went obsolete we made calls free and added free wifi hotspots because we live […]

'Biggles defies the swastika' Can we have him just drop a little friendly boom boom on the Musky-boy's head?

Hang on a minute... Don't tell me Premier Inn just offer you a JPG for their breakfsat menu like incompetent baboons? Seriously now? Not even an accessible PDF?

[How to handle a Microsoft scammer!] Me: “Hello.” NOT-Microsoft support: “Hello. This is Bob Bobson from Microsoft Support. We are seeing a lot of virus activity from your device.” Me: “Oh no. My device? Are you sure?” NOT-Microsoft support: “Oh yes, we have many reports.” Me: “Oh jeez. How […]

Thank you to the Daily Show, we need this right how

Remember: If Tesla goes out of business all Teslas get bricked.

Arlington National Cemetery removed links to webpages listing the dozens of “Notable Graves” of Black, Hispanic and female veterans and their spouses. 🙄 https://wapo.st/4isEBv8

Called it. Wrote this back in Sept. 2024, about a clever Windows Powershell phishing scam that was targeting developers at the time. It uses a fake CAPTCHA that asks visitors to distinguish themselves from bots by pressing a combination of keyboard keys […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Fracture Sounds Midnight Grand: A Beautiful Piano! https://youtu.be/JWj0DQCzrCo

'Do you think I wouldn't just google you before walking in here?' Reads a line in a book I'm currently enjoying. Now swap 'Google' for anything else and it just sounds ridiculous. 'Bing you' sounds like you're about to use cash app to fund my next take-away. 'Duck Duck Go you' sounds... Never […]

Today @MoonCat and I went to see a live version of Inside No. 9' which also offered live audio description. It was fantastic. hey even gave me a Braille cast list.

I've decided to aim for a lifetime enjoyment of buying no Teslas ever. I think this can probably turn out to be a broadly shared and appreciated human experience.

Google broke chromecast audio devices. How nice of them.

Dear America, please step up and make this guy disappear. You are looking like incompetent fools on the world stage with this man at your head. Do better. Very much, do better. 'In the Oval Office today, Donald Trump used “Palestinian” as a slur and said the highest-ranking Jewish elected […]

I just heard about Angie Stone’s death. The world has lost a rare talent. #music https://www.bet.com/article/y5kawk/remembering-angie-stone-essential-songs

Really scary stuff. Pay attention. @ThomHartmann sure is: "Cyberwar is sort of the opposite of neutron bombs. Instead of killing the people, it takes out the infrastructure with the goal being to disrupt society so severely as to bring down governments (the ultimate goal of most warfare)." […]

My sister is visiting New Zealand with a tour group comprising mostly US citizens. One of the tour leaders asked “Is everyone here American?” My sister responded that she and her husband were Canadian, and some MAGA woman nearby snorted “Not for long!” Earlier, my sister had met another couple […]

bothers me when authors only publish on Amazon. Want to buy John Marrs's new book but Ebook at any rate, is amazon-only. I hope it doesn't stay that way.

I have a USB-A to USB_C cable somewhere. I can't find it. Where is it? Who borrowed it ot moved it? Please be putting it back at this time.

Booked a stay at the Premier Inn yesterday, thought I'd try for the one closest to the train station. Two nights, over £400... Next closest, almost 50% cheaper as it's two miles further away. Sigh.
