The French have turned watching the opening ceremony into an Olympic endurance sport
Great job with KamaLaw & Order. Love this
Tom Tugendhat’s Tory leadership campaign mocked for ‘Turd’ acronym
My iPhone just randomly lost contact photo and the number of steps to add only a contact photo is insane.
I wish there was a way to disable the pointless contact poster feature so that I don’t have to take the additional steps to bypass it.
I’m struck by the hypocrisy over the Dujardin video. I mean how does anyone think you can get an animal to “dance” without acts or cruelty. This “sport” should have been banned decades ago.
Really looking forward to never seeing this again for a while
All aboard the M3 train. After years of delay, deliberation and false starts I’ve ordered a new MacBook. Finally
The plot thickens courtesy of Amazon undercutting Apple’s new price and only £111 more than the refurbished price.
Boarding the M3 Train
One month later and my indecision over a new MacBook continues.
Currently I’m debating with myself over to jump on the M3 Pro train before it finally leaves the station or wait for the M4 train due in a few weeks. I’m particularly looking at a refurbed M3 Pro with a healthy discount.
I’ve also ditched the decision not to invest in a high end dock and bought a Caldigit TS4, despite not owning a compatible Mac. This should have hastened my decision, given Amazons 30 day return window.
Yesterday I went further than before, quite literally, walking into an Apple Store and (again) looking at the current hardware. Maybe it’s time to actually board this train even if the new M4’s aren’t too far off.
I don’t think it’s going to make it till September without a fight. My Series 4 is spending as much time on the charger as on my wrist.

Certainly should be seen as an act of citizenship sto stand down unlike the other side’s acts of defiance.
I won’t be the first to say that plenty of brave men and women have actually taken a bullet for democracy, or watching helpless as those close to them did so. Somehow I don’t think he qualifies given the lack of understanding of what a democracy actually means.
Open Threads… Scroll… Close Threads (and I do mean force quit).
Zuck once again demonstrating there is nothing Social about his preferred form of media, just endless ads and junk content.
Summertime question, to buy or not to buy
There is the annual summertime debate over purchasing anything new in the summer or waiting until the next round of hardware releases is announced (hopefully) later in the year.
Specifically I’m deliberating over between
- Buying a refurbished MacBook, and getting more for my money than I could for new
- Waiting until the next round of Macs are released
There is no urgency in my case, merely impatience as I’ve been putting off this purchase since the M1 and the lack of both hardware and software support for my (now) legacy MacBook is increasingly frustrating. The compromises I’ve made to keep this machine running via a suite of external SSDs and USB hubs has lost its charm. I’ve waiting this long. Can I really wait another 3, 4, 5, maybe every 6 months?
Absolutely.
However I no longer want to wait despite my head telling me that option 2 is the far more sensible thing to do given the potential performance leap in future M4 MacBooks.
Against this is my acceptance that all M4 Macs will probably cost more than the current M3’s. Driven both by Apple’s steadily increasing pricing for new hardware and and the reductions available when considering refurbished Macs.
So I go round in circles, without any decision or progress….
Wondrous
Tomorrow marks our anniversary in our first home together and I’ve never been happier. I don’t I can express how I feel about her, our home and the local area. It’s Wondrous.
Without question the most unique selfie I’ve ever posted. Shoulder is all clear but still “frozen”
The rest of the world looks on in disbelief.
Wow. Did he just dodge a bullet twice in 48hrs?
I couldn’t agree more. Except I’d rather he was out the way entirely.
This would be huge
Independence Day. Finally we can be free from these clowns.

Turned on the coverage from Glastonbury Festival and aged about 130 years. Can’t say I’ve heard of anyone other than a handful of acts and some of content sounds like a Nokia ringtone from 1998.
Mmmmm… What goes up just come down…
