Not only the decision but the statement about “reverse discrimination” really made my blood boil. As an alum, extremely disappointed.

As an alum, I was quite disgusted to see it was Trinity Hall when clicking through from the headline this morning. It sounds like many of the staff are not on board. I’ve sent a very strongly worded email, not that it will make much difference unless there are many others.

Had to turn up my max flow to 60 this week (open therm so it will modulate). Leaky Victorian terrace though. And the big radiator behind the Christmas tree is turned down which doesn’t help.

Hah, yes, “the pub scene in Cambridge is poor” can only possibly be read as true within about a mile of Great St Mary’s.

I’m sorry but if it’s on BBC One at 9pm on a Friday night you simply cannot call it a podcast, “visualised” or not

"Oxford's High Street booming, bucking national trend"
And this in a city where we've removed city centre parking and put in a congestion charge. Almost as if it's people who shop, not cars.

They didn’t do this for safety. They did it because there’s now a 3 minute segment in any car review video that complains about things like heating controls, indicators, windscreen wipers etc not having proper buttons.
Touch screens aren’t going away for things like music and maps though.

Very true. I have unfortunately found that video is the slowest to succumb to this because I guess the barriers to entry are higher and monetisation is easier. I get most of my reviews from YouTube and TikTok now. Still miss the multitude of anandtech style sites we used to have so many of though.

Yeah true. They seem to be very easy to get _something_ out of and very hard to get something consistently good out of as a result. Which goes a long way to explaining all the extremely half baked AI integrations we now have.

The best bit is I read some pretty middling reviews for the lower models and convinced myself not that the whole design sucked but that clearly it was worth going for the top of the line models because surely they didn’t have the same issues.

On the plus side their text in text out nature makes them so much easier to swap between than you might expect. I’m sure they’re working very hard to fix that though.

Yes. We need to stop commissioning so much infrastructure as big bang projects and move to more “X miles per year” style delivery pipelines. Boom and bust inefficiencies built into every step of the process right now.

This one made me a bit sad! I don’t know if I’ll keep reading. But I appreciate the candour on the reasoning, and the thought put into it.

Been paying for an Adobe Lightroom license for 11 years. They quietly upped the price by 50% this month, and have the temerity to demand an £83 cancellation fee just to cancel. This company can get in the bin.
