They start at £1972 a night.
The price difference from 33 years ago. Wow.

In Diddy Kong Racing DS, the message when connection is lost during Download Play is "LOST ALL CHILDREN". The cartridge is internally called a "parent" and the downloaded instances its "children". While this would make sense to the developers, it has the potential to confuse or scare players.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

Ireland, Spain and the Netherlands to boycott Eurovision 2026 as Israel cleared to compete
Decision not to hold vote on Israel’s participation comes in spite of several broadcasters calling for its exclusion

At the general assembly of the European Broadcasting Union, the body that organises the hugely popular international annual singing competition, no vote on Israel’s participation was held. Continue reading...

Please tag me if you see any anime that appears to plainly be using AI transcriptions for closed captions. That's CLOSED CAPTIONS (SDH) for ENGLISH DUBS, not subtitles for Japanese audio. I wanna publicly keep track of some of these and start holding platforms accountable.

Using AI for captions is such a weird idea because...OK, fine, it's "quicker", but you'd still need an actual person to check that the translation is accurate, right?
So..if you're doing that, then surely the person checking the accuracy should just, I don't know, do the captioning?
Crazy.

TV idea: Ken Loach's 'Cathy Come Home' but it's an article in the Telegraph about how Cathy never left home in the first place then bought her first house at 21 by not having Netflix, not eating avocado on toast and with the £2,500,000 her gran left her in her will.
