Retro gamer and Atari fan. The Jaguar is the best console ever made, and the Falcon is the best home computer.😁
Also own and enjoy Commodore, Acorn and other great retro stuff.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Tweet by Jatin @jatinkmalik The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

This is awesome. I've been tempted over the years to transfer my Falcon 030 to my Lighthouse Desktopper case, but I don't want to butcher it. This would completely solve that issue.

Magazine tip: Convince your neighbours that you are having hot dogs for tea by opening the kitchen windows, frying up some onions and shouting out "How many hot dogs do you want?" to imaginary guests. Phillipa Mathers, Bath

WE KEEP being told that Al is so clever that it's a potential threat to the existence of the human race and could wipe us all out. If that's the case, before it starts kicking off, why doesn't someone just ask one of these AI bots how to stop it if it does? Yet again it's left to the likes of me to come up with solutions to the world's woes because the boffins simply can't be bothered. Joe Smith, Exeter

Scientists claim that spider's silk is one of the strongest materials known to man. Well hoe come i've just punched a hole straight through one of their webs and I'm not even that hard? Paul Townend, e-mail

I WISH airline pilots would just fly their planes without showing off and doing a fucking wheelie every time they take off. What a bunch of one-trick ponies. D Williams, Donegal

They say that plastic takes millions of years to decompose, but I bought a cheap nylon canopy for my garden swing off Amazon last summer and the thing has already fallen to bits. Come on, boffins, which is it? Odd Skodheim, Nottingham

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

This is really spooky, so please be warned.
I was walking past a pub in Gloucester and caught a glimpse of a ghost in a pub window. I took a photo, and if you look very carefully you can actually see the ghost.
Before you look at the photo - you can't unsee it once you've seen it.

Memorable four-panel comic showing The Simpsons' Lionel Hutz editing a newspaper cutout. The comic has been updated to today's Venezuela attack. Panel 1: Paper reads: Donald J Trump. Remember Iraq. No more foreign wars. Panel 2: Hutz edits the paper with a red sharpie Panel 3: Hutz holds out edited paper with prominent, red punctuation edits, that now says, "Remember Iraq? No, more foreign wars!" Panel 4: Hutz reading the paper out loud.

Just finished rewatching Gimme, Gimme, Gimme and wondered whatever happened to James Dreyfus (@jamesdreyfushobbes.bsky.social). YIKES!!! Looks like he's another privileged individual (educated at Harrow) who struggles with the concept of Live and Let Live. What is it with these people?

Rare footage of St Paul’s Cathedral testing its giant flamethrower
The sun rising over the London skyline this morning, only it’s a very cloudy sky and the sun is visible only as an orange streak of fire that coincidentally seems to be emanating from the spire on the top of St Paul’s dome
