Likes to lurk with only the occasional snarky comment that I then get told off about because 'thats not how we do things over here'.
Shit! Totally missed the brief - that's my best celebrity encounter. Most minor would be getting off a train and John Barnes got on. Or was on a train and Jeff Banks was asleep in the same carriage. Always trains!!

I thankfully rarely tread upon Apple turf but yesterday tried to get Apple TV for over the Xmas period. Apparently my account is locked and I cannot reset my password. The email telling me this says I should therefore reset my password. Good thing UX is important to apple or I'd be fooked.

Some people will try this. They may also try microwaving scrunched up tinfoil to make a metal ball or try throwing boiling water into very cold air to do... whatever that was. Some people are stupid and it seems they multiplying.

The AI didn't generate that itself. Some prick instructed it to produce the video then posted it like it was real. It's not the leg/finger glitches that's the problem. It's the lie. It's the intent.

I tried to find why Google moved away from it's "don't be evil" motto. Best explanation I could find was:
“Don’t be evil” became difficult to apply consistently or defend publicly.

I lament that the year gap between Normal Collier's fame peak and Zoom work meetings means that not only do people not understand me, they also don't understand the joke reference when my WiFi sorts itself out.

I loved the idea that 'cups' is a fluid measurement because the mental US system where cups is an actual thing rather than just an indicator of HOW MANY ACTUAL CUPS OF HOT WATER YOU MIGHT GET

The speccy music still lives with me to this day. Just yesterday I was humming it. And now I am again.

That's exactly one Rainbow Islands short of being a must have for me. Then again, if it had Rainbow Islands I would have already bought it at full price...

One of my favourite bits of emulating PS2 on my Steam deck - hit the power button and it will suspend. Hit it again a few hours later and you pick up where you left off.

The Universe and I have come to a mutual agreement that I would piss off any famous person and it's best to keep us apart. My wife, meanwhile, seems destined to meet lovely famous people constantly whenever she goes anywhere without me.

I'm currently on holiday in Spain. I took my son yesterday to the ruins of a settlement dating back nearly 3000 years. People apparently lived there for more than 1000 years. The US is actively killing it's (albeit brief) history at the behest of a Midas obsessed Wotsit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wotsits

I saw a recent interview with Ben Elton where he basically said "the thing with Thatcher was that she had principles. They were appalling and I disagreed with them... But at least she had them".

It must be a shitty time to be a US journalist. Aside from random podcasters and conspiracy hacks being your equals in the White House press room, you now have to write daily articles that are basically "today's atrocity is worse than yesterday's atrocity"
