I have thought NI have had a fair few bad reviews and choices recently and today it has been announced they are entering insolvency. I used to like their products but recently they have been really lost and wayward with their choices and, well, this is the result.

Once again Meta is touting subscriptions with extra services available for those that pay. However it also appears that Meta will enshittify its services as well because it only says that "core" services will remain free. So what does this actually mean?

If you don't want to see Youtube ads and you have a VPN then simply set the country to Albania and those ads will disappear as ads in Albania on Youtube are illegal....

Another day, another huge data breach. Please keep changing passwords or use a password manager or something otherwise you are likely to be hacked. It is a common behaviour and I can only see it getting worse!

I've been using Wafrn recently - if you liked Tumblr it is a decent little blog style platform. Give me a follow over there if you fancy it!

Youtube now offers dual stream in landscape and portrait at the same time, along with better codec support and higher resolutions. I cannot see ANY reason why someone would use Twitch nowadays for streaming most things as it is stuck in 2019...

I knew this was coming, and it has, to be frank, taken longer than I thought it would. The UK Government has announced that it is going to start a consultation on banning social media use for under 16's.
