I've had to use two websites today that only worked with Chrome and not Firefox. Is it 1999 again?

Tesco Mobile is sending me text messages to say that I can no longer receive text messages, since they turned off 3G and apparently my phone isn't 4G ready. Hmm...

Looks like this was never released. Maybe it was for the best...

I find a wet shave is quicker than an electric shave. That takes ages to get the same smoothness.

Just watched Die Hard again for obvious reasons (and it's so obviously an Xmas file there's not even a debate) but Disney+ have spoilt it by cutting so many segments. Like the dead body falling onto the cop car at the start; in the Disney+ version, he just appears on the car.

Programming a Neural Net is one of the hardest things to code: it's very hard to tell if there's any bugs, because you've no idea what it's going to do.

What is the point of a TV channel like Channel 4 bring up films in their search results that you can't actually watch?

Time Squad update! Someone went and actually sent me some cash for this game, so I've been morally obliged to add new features: Grenades, 3 difficulty levels, a level selector, and an extra level! stephensmith.itch.io/timesquad

What if I told you there's a kit with 62 modular clothing models to create your own characters?

All textured, rigged and ready to use!

This kit, along with all my other fantasy sets are 25% off!

I think the jury is still out as to whether Zoids is a good game or not.

The next episode of Eleanor & Alasdair Read That comes out in a week! Please remember that, at the time of recording, Kier Starmer was Prime Minister and our hilarious remarks made sense.

I propose replacing all AI with children paid to browse the internet and then argue with each other as to what the answer is, and then responding. Far cheaper and probably more accurate than AI.
