iPad owners - there are some nice new features in iPadOS 26, but it's also the buggiest release I've ever installed, so if you haven't upgraded yet, I recommend holding off until a few more patches have been released.

I recently uploaded a batch of new videos to my YouTube channel, and since then, the algorithm has been recommending them to me as possible viewing each morning!
Does this mean it’s rubbish, or does it mean it understands my preferences perfectly? :-)

Well, some of my books are in the list here, so off I went to www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com and filled in my details.

There's been some commentary about how $3k per book is paltry and cheap, which it is for full-time authors. But it's not bad for technical books from a while ago, I think.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

What? How did I go for nearly a year without knowing that a blu-ray collection of Blake's 7 had been released? With restored video, new special effects, lots of extra material? I've ordered it, of course! (Series 2 apparently due for release in a couple of months.)

My mother just told me about a programme on Channel 5, and I had to admit that I’d forgotten we *had* a channel 5! Wikipedia tells me it’s been around for a while, though… I think it must have launched about the time I stopped watching TV - at least, any TV with ads. Is it any good?

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.
The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway
The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.
