Dragon 32! A proper, Welsh machine

Renegade III: The Final Chapter.

Renegade on the ZX Spectrum was good, the sequel Target: Renegade was one of my favourite games for years, but the third game was a cynical cash grab, badly executed, barely playable.

Archive version, no paywall

I think we see a reform manifesto pledge to ‘bring back good, honest turkey twizzlers’ to school canteens 🙃

All woke and no play makes Jack a dull boy

I like how Hawkeye has now been relegated to making line calls at international tennis tournaments

O’Biden? First the Irish claim Obama, now Biden 😄

It’s not just new series, the subtitles have been ridiculously bad for around a year in my estimation. There have been ‘AI’ tools for machine transcription for at least half a decade now, and the errors in Crunchyroll subtitles are consistent with my experience of using machine transcription tools in my work. It’s insultingly bad.

The proper way for government to ‘urge’ businesses is by passing legislation and then prosecuting companies that fail to meet that legislation. Sounds like these MPs don’t want to prosecute big businesses for failing to meet the standards set out in law.

Time to go all Wilford Brimley on his ass.

‘One’

Stone cold classic.

Reminds me of the first time I worked in a newsroom in the early 2000s. When the repeated slamming wasn’t enough, the whole phone would go flying across the office. I, unfortunately, had the desk by the wall, in the prime firing line. My reflexes became boss in those first 3 months.

I have started to do this and I’m using Docker to host Kiwix. I’m currently using it to provide offline versions of Wikipedia, medical guides and tutorials for various programming languages. My plan is to put essential apps and information on an RPi and provide a broadcast hotspot where anyone can access the info.

I also live on top of a hill, so I’m saving up to put together a solar powered Meshtastic repeater that I can mount to my aerial pole.

Wireless Application Protocol. I can no longer say on my CV that I ‘worked on WAP in the early 2000s’.

The dread and despair is so real.

Gives Event Horizon vibes

Am I alone in hating race-specific liveries? I like to be able to quickly identify the driver I’m looking at, which I do by recognising the car livery and the colour of the camera pod. It really throws me when teams change colours for a race

I feel that the second Red Bull seat is more of the meat-grindy experience. Racing Bulls is the chef who takes the ground meat and forms it into an F1 driver-shaped patty. Like a Red Bull McNugget of a driver.
