Ever since the pandemic I feel like public transport is so unhygienic. Currently being assaulted by four people around me sneezing. I guess I’ll be sick this week. Thanks.

Actually generally…loving iOS 26. Not sure why there is so much negativity (eg the verge). I guess people always hate change. My only dislike so far is getting to tab view in Safari is annoying now.

TIL (from an airport HI-SCAN CT operator) that the most common false positives at that airport are decks of cards and flapjacks (British kind).

A random teen in the park asked me if I am natural at the weekend. Very flattering, but I’m really not very jacked.

Currently overhearing a man trying to explain quantum computing to his friend, but he clearly doesn’t understand it beyond the buzzwords himself 😂

You have a massive collection of e-books, music, video games, software, and movies that you bought as a digital download, and you probably think you own them, like you own a physical book or a DVD.

Here’s why that’s often not true.

Why can Siri still not tell me how many steps I’ve done today?

Word of the day is ‘hibernacle’ (18th century): a hibernating animal’s winter retreat.

I believe it works on a human level too.
