River Westend. Oil on board. A4 landscape. Fun landscape painting in which I made a great many marks in a casual manner hoping they captured the scene realistically. #oilpainting #oillandscape #peakdistrict.

I have been e-ink curious for a bit. Wanted a reader and perhaps some note taking. Got the Boox Go 7 which is within arms reach of being a digital Moleskine. But so many terrible design decisions ruin it.

Did a bit more on the #oilportrait.
Trying to improve the solidity. Because it’s a male, I seem to be using heavier brushstrokes. 🤷♂️

Discovered on walk near Rushup Edge - Joyriders had driven two cars up onto moorland. One set on fire, the other was upside down.

Following a YouTube video I successfully replaced the broken power board in my dead 66” LG television.
Yay!
However - I did get an enormous electric shock because there was still some residual charge in the capacitors. 📺⚡️💀👍

Why don’t e-ink devices have interfaces which take advantage of cool typography? They are all boring.

New AirPods Pro 3 are crazy good. The sound cancellation is astonishing. And these don’t fall out of my ears!

In my basement tossing out old DVDs and CDs. We don’t even have anything to play them on.
Can’t believe how much physical media I used to buy. Some of it is duplicated. Some still in shrink wrap.

Avoid Hasting Direct. I cancelled the auto renewal - and they renewed anyway. Took the money and then wanted £20 as a cancellation fee!!

A lovely sunset over the Rivelin Valley in Sheffield ( or alternatively a low-yield, airburst tactical nuke over Manchester )

Got rid of O2 phone contract and replace with one from ID. Not only is this cheaper and with more data - but it actually works. One bar of 5G means megabit speeds, instead of no reception.

Sending this ad is completely destructive to all the hard work other teams at Apple have done to make Apple Wallet actually private — and, more importantly, *to get users to believe that it’s private*.

I switched to O2 to get free European roaming. But the service in the UK is so terrible, I can’t want to switch away.

My feed is full of the disappointing news from the USA. I am sympathetic to those affected.
But what’s annoying is that Americans *voted* for all this.
The problem is not one dysfunctional politician, but a profound sickness in the soul of the country.
I can’t see that going away.
