Steve will probably write a personal dedication too if you ask.

Nutrition label saying that the serving size for the Advent calendar is 24 pieces

I don't think the people who made this Advent calendar understand how Advent calendars work

Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

Thanks for the reminder. I don't think I received the usual email about it from NT this year for some reason.

Against a background of a perfectly blue sky, this is an image of a hummingbird hawk-moth just about to land on a flowering branch of a purple buddleia. A long, curled proboscis is hanging from the moth as it gets ready to extract some nectar from the flower

Hopefully, GP will be on the ball. My GP spotted it quickly from my description (flu like symptoms) and told me to start antibiotics ASAP (even told me where the nearest 24 hour pharmacy was). My blood test a couple of days later was negative, but the next one a couple of weeks later confirmed it.

Once again it is Father’s Day, which means it’s time to share the most Dad* thing you did in the last year. As is custom, I will go first:

Watching YouTube videos for small repair jobs around the house has turned into watching YouTube videos for large repair jobs I cannot and should not attempt.

Mistle Thrush on our lawn this afternoon. One difference between Song Thrushes and Mistle Thrushes are the markings. The markings on the Mistle Thrush like this one are like thorns, whereas the markings on the song thrush are like arrow heads.

Song Thrush standing on the lawn looking to the left, with a juicy worm hanging from its beak

Song Thrush on our lawn this morning, holding a juicy worm in its beak. One difference between Song Thrushes and Mistle Thrushes are the markings. The markings on the Song Thrush like this one resemble upside down arrow heads, whereas the markings on the Mistle Thrush are more like thorns.
