Apple Intelligence is total crap, I really recommend enabling it for the laughs.

Me and @alexmartin.bsky.social both shortlisted tonight for the British Journalism Awards Best Tech Reporter. Congrats to winner Amanda Chicago Lewis for her story about ransomware. In fact, half the entries were about ransomware - showing it’s a major problem beyond the world of us nerds.
