That fellah that makes videos. You might have seen some on Computerphile etc. Make weekly gardening videos on "Pots & Trowels" Made a few music videos about sausage rolls as well. Like drums, music, snowboarding & cars but petrol ones should be a hobby
Rob Reiner?! WTF - no no no :(

It's so refreshing firing up Openvibe and seeing Mastodon and Bluesky and no ads or algorithms unless you choose to look at the 'for you' thread

New Spotify/streaming mode suggestion: car CD player mode

Choose an album & any time you open your streamer it carries on playing the same album, restarting when it gets to the end. Occasionally it offers to eject the CD to change it for another one.

Posh version has a six CD multichanger

Android auto has been phenomenal for me over the last five years, but Gemini just invaded. Need to switch it off.

When the voice changed from female sounding to male sounding I thought huh? Then it "introduced itself" as Gemini and I realised yet another part of my life has had AI crowbarred in 😬

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Bloody hell, latest The Rest is Politics had nearly four mins of ads before they started! Way to put me off!

Spotify/music streamer playlist idea: "back in the day" mode

Scenario: you want to experience a band/artist you never really listened to:

Playlist: the first single a couple of times, maybe the second single, then the debut album in full. Repeat through their career...

A massive reminder to Microsoft and any other tech company shoving AI down our throats that it should be optional

I've begin to hate eBay. Second time I've sold the same item and both times the bidder has asked to cancel their bid. Which eBay allows, leaving me wasting my time yet again. If anyone wants to buy the ryzen9 3080ti gamingPC/Edit Computer I used for Computerphile videos for three years let me know!

Quite enjoy listening to Rest is Politics US but they have banged on about "salt" convention or something on last couple of Eps & while I could search it, I can't be arsed -if you're making a podcast, people are often listening while doing other things -part of the job is to explain stuff to them :)

This week's Computerphile video with the excellent Matt Godbolt (of Compiler Explorer game)

I try to muddle through a few encodings to explain how (some) Ethernet works at the wire level. Thanks as ever to @seanski44.bsky.social for making me appear to make sense! Watch here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJE2lFR5utM

BBC iPlayer, you used to be able to put parental PIN in via numbers on the handset but it changed to a keyboard on screen interface, a right PITA

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, or Transformers.

Watching the Celebrity Traitors, absolutely love the sound design. The way the 'traitor' sound effect is subtly mixed in when a traitor is in shot works so well.
