Streisand Effect in action with this online age verification thing. I've just found out what "porn" is (pictures of people shagging!!) and it's brilliant. A real own goal for Keir Starmer if you ask me. But don't bother asking me, I'll be too busy enjoying "porn"! 😎

You might have seen that Apple released an eight-hour, lo-fi Severance focus set with ODESZA. You might not have spotted that it syncs up perfectly with the Music Dance Experience at around three and a half hours in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRnD...

this verse of Billy Joel's "Always a Woman to Me" always confused me

Text of lyrics:

"She is made out of bees, she can breathe underwater
She has taken the form of my long deceased daughter
And she walks on all fours like a horse with no knees
Yes she crept from the void but she's always a woman to me"

One genuinely useful application of NotebookLM is giving it all the user manuals for your washing machine, router, fridge etc, so you can just ask it what it means when some random light is flashing yellow. Follow for more Top Tech Tips.
