They only brought in a ban on disposal BBQs today after dithering about it for ages.

A reluctance to do anything practical but they are very trigger happy in abusing an emergency alert system.

YouTube has an effective monopoly on small scale video like this. Creators try to use other platforms be the audience just isn’t there.

Distributing video is also considerably harder compared with text or images, so it’s harder to for grassroots platforms to start up.

The best solution would be to turn away from detectors, which will always be a losing game, and return to crowdsourced curation through users likes and ratings.

But that would end up with too many of the corporate propaganda videos getting tanked with dislikes so YouTube will never go for that.

Quite a few of the people I know and consider “normal” openly dislike AI.

I’m not sure it’s a majority opinion buts it’s not an obscure one.

There’s been some Halloween bits appearing round here but nothing Christmas…yet.

One of the supermarkets did have a big “back to school” display before August had even started.

I remember IrDA, I also remember it being frustratingly slow and unreliable.

Visible light data transfer isn’t new either. The Timex Datalink watches were using flashing coloured patterns on a PC monitor to send data to them in the 90s.

The off brand one I had didn’t even have the same colours, let alone on the right sides.

50k could be life changing for a lot of people. That could pay for a decent chunk of education/training, be used to start a business, or cover a deposit for a home. All major steps up for those currently struggling.

I fell off a step ladder as a teenager and physically was only badly bruised.

It has left me with a lifelong minor fear of ladders though.

The phone is always with you though, unlike the camera which got left at home.

What’s wrong with Elegoo? I don’t have their printers but I’ve used a fair bit of their filament which seems to be good value.

Considering an upgrade myself so wondering what to avoid.

There is something I like about the chap, not sure why…

The last election Clayton had a 58% turnout. So there might be some potential Binface supporters who didn’t vote last time.

I don’t think Clacton is likely to flip, but there is an outside chance.

There is an Amiga port of C&C too, although it requires accelerator hardware.

Would be interesting to see how much of the game could be ported to a completely native system of the era.

A bridge along one of the major routes between England and Wales used a have toll for entering Wales, but it was free to leave.

For a bit of added context to compare against the £29 million fine, Virgin Media reported a profit last year of £3.9 billion.

I’ve heard rumours that Labour are considering not running an official party candidate, to make room for someone who may be willing to stand as an independent candidate. Someone who could run as on unaffiliated and somewhat anti-establishment, but also anti-Farage platform. No idea who that could actually be though.

Jumping before he gets pushed? Although probably with every intention of jumping back in again once the dust has settled as the leader of “Remake UK” or similar to keep the grift going.

Or maybe he will try and go down fighting and use this to do a big Trumpian rant about it all being a big conspiracy. He does seem a bit unstable currently.

It’s worked well for me so far. I chose Homarr because it has a GUI for dashboard creation, I wanted the whole family to be able to use it and they aren’t all up to editing YAML etc.
