Analogstalgia - a yearning for times when everything was slow and manual 🀣

This one was great - had me thinking about all those GPUs and how long they last given a tick-tock release cycle from Nvidia.

( perhaps they can offload them all on EBay at a later point 🀣 )

Maybe he'll be too busy this week to fret over the BBC.

Profiles | Microsoft Edge

Today I learned about profiles in Edge - either this wasn't there when I used to do public presentations off my own PC or I just never looked hard enough for the feature.

They shouldn't have edited a clip to suggest that he was in support of violent insurrection.

They should have just shown the clip where he released the violent insurrectionists from prison.

They look like they were created by AI and sound like they'll fit in nicely in the White House.

Robert De Niro seen in Manchester as he makes major announcement Mr De Niro was gifted an apartment by developers Salboy

In the future, everyone will own part of a Manchester tower block for 15 minutes.

Same game of musical chairs that the Tories played, leading to Farage who's never going to subject himself to a leadership contest. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

It's been obvious for quite a while that Gibb has been installed to build GBBC News.

Visible in all the Farage prominence for years.

How about a perfectly balanced two-person panel?

Person 1: Believes Trump attempted to subvert the election
Person 2: Is Donald Trump

He's right, they were betrayed and he should definitely know as he was the one doing it.

Vast majority of the BBC News (#bbcwato) is about the BBC πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Martine Croxall broke rules over 'pregnant people' facial expression, BBC says The BBC newsreader was reading out a news bulletin about research on groups most at risk in UK heatwaves.

Bias: switching a word and making an expression.

Not bias: 10 years of feeding us an endless diet of Farage and ignoring Brexit.

Octopus Go delivers a kWh of "fuel" at 5.9p, around 1.5p/mile

Existing tax (from diagram) adds 18%, making 1.7p/mile

Proposed tax is 3p/mile, making 4.7p/mile

Total tax is then 68%

Petrol, diesel are taxed at 54% as far as I know

Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

Isn't this a higher rate of tax than you'd pay by filing up with diesel which seems to be about 54%?

( has The Treasury actually got a calculator? )
