    that new nothing phone 3a in blue has me questioning my phone sexuality. And at half the price of a new iphone its VERY tempting. How are google, samsung and apple producing the same shit year in year out with minimal upgrades charging such insane prices when this beautiful thing is innovative and so cheap?

    Non starter anyway, nothing wrong with my phone. But when it does die… Why would I spend double the price of the nothing to just get another boring slab of steel and glass? Apples ecosystem is bloody nice. But Siri is still a disaster 5 years in, apple intelligence is DOA and if Steve Jobs were still around he’d have someone shot for the current state of iOS18.

    It looks like technology companies have just given up on smart home stuff. There are no more smart clocks, smart displays, not even speakers side from Sonos. Everyone got sick of using these things and the world has moved on.

    This means I can chuck out my smart clock with the broken cable. I can actually get rid of it completely! It’s the cable that’s broken, not the unit, and it’s such a weird voltage and connector it’s not worth trying to replace.

    It’s a bit of a shame to contribute to more ewaste. I might drop it off at one of the ewaste points at a library or office works. But it’s nice to know I can let go of something. No holding onto a cable ‘just in case’. No need to try get an otherwise perfectly fine unit to work, because I didn’t use it anyway. I can actually throw this thing out, and there’s no equivalent on the market to replace it with.

      The small amount of waste you’ll be contributing is very very small. The best thing you can do is avoid it in the future, which looks like you’re doing.

      All products have a life. Yours has it’s turn now.

    Right so the solution to my insomnia it seems, is to be so fucking wrecked from the gym, that I pass out.

    This is the longest stretch of sleep I’ve had in a really long time.

    I’ll try again tomorrow night and see what happens.

    have a sudden craving for in the night garden. now watching upsy daisy and her special stone.

    spoiler

    upsy daisy wants to ride the ninky nonk, so she gave her special stone to igglepiggle to look after, even gave him a kiss on the lips before leaving, but he went off to play ball and forgot about the stone

        He is and has always been an extraordinary actor. I sometimes wonder if he kept a straight face recording his part

      Our dog loves in the night garden. I think it’s the bright colours. Sometimes we’ll watch an episode with him as a treat.

    Client had a major incident. Infra manager called me. We have to work through it till it’s solved.

    Looks like a late start for this cowboy.
