With the White House admitting they deliberately post AI deepfakes, I really do not want to hear any complaints about the EU AI Act any more.

From August this year, platforms will have to make sure those are clearly labelled as AI to EU users or will have to remove the posts, or face massive […]

Look, if anyone is making semi-humanoid robots for the home, this is the basic design that you are to start with if you want me to ever buy one.

And we all know what they will need to sound like.

I work in risk. Financial risk, but the principles of risk are fairly transferable.

Seems that I need to up my game though as we have just discovered that our home broadband, my mobile, Michelle's mobile and my dev mobile, whilst all being registered to […]

Right, first world, grumpy old man rant coming up.

What has happened to the world to make phrases including imagined or reimagined so popular?

I remember when I heard it for the first time. It was an advert for Christmas reimagined. Can't remember who it was […]

Yesterday morning out with the dogs. A lovely hazy morning. But wet. Not that the dogs cared.

My team at work have all been put "at risk of redundancy". I his is the second time it's happened in two years. I started here five years ago after a 25 year career as a freelancer.

It might be time to go back to my previous MO.

But this time no commuting. A daily commute of 2.5 hours is […]

At the #repaircafe in Charlotte #vermont today. I was there for the bikes but as usual there weren't that many to work on. I made this junk bike roll again and fixed up a Trek Navigator that needed rear hub bearing service, wheel truing, and brake adjustment. I […]

So I'm a bit tired, but can't go to bed yet as it's not even 9pm yet. So I decide to make myself a large malt milk drink. I heat the milk and add the power. Only as this is basically the same as my normal daily coffee routine.and so I'm now holding a large latte instead of a large malt milk […]

^ That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard today. It's not enough!

It’s not enough to simply be happy that people are using Signal because it offers end-to-end encryption. That alone does not […]

We have a solitary horse chestnut tree in our front garden. Most years we collect a few but this year it has excelled and so far we have collected over 450 and it's not empty yet. We've never managed to collect more than this bowl will hold before but I think we might just do it this year.

Let's talk 20.

There is fantastic evidence coming out of Wales after 2 years of 20mph - reduced demand on the NHS, reduction in injuries, deaths, even reduced car insurance premiums now as fewer small vehicle damage claims are being made.

It is Sunday afternoon. There are certain things that need to be done on a Sunday afternoon. One of these is to sit on the sofa and watch crap TV. I'm currently doing this from between two wet dogs. This is not ideal.

Michelle is at the other end of the sofa under a blanket.

I can't help but […]

I use #freegle quite a lot to get rid of stuff as we have very little storage space. Generally this works well, but there is a reasonably high percentage of folks who ask but never actually collect. However, these people never just forget, they always have some life changing event that meant […]

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you shouldn’t trust any development that falls under the jurisdiction of the USA, Russia, or China.

While these countries may have a history of releasing source code, the actual apps or services provided can contain something entirely different.

I was hoping to stick with a #Debian based #linuxdistro, but looks like that isn't possible.

Currently, I'm looking […]
