Andrew @andrewisaround.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’m still hoping some of the MHEG scripts from these olde days have survived somehow for archiving 🤞 000
Andrew @andrewisaround.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I think the only “exploit” is that apps in the secure folder can’t inspect what other apps are installed, so HSBC can’t see if there are any “forbidden” apps 011

Andrew @andrewisaround.bsky.social · 14/05/2026ORACLE only had the Buzz section for their computer games content. Digitiser came out at the launch of Teletext UK Ltd’s service in 1993, when they took over the teletext broadcasting licence from Oracle 010

Andrew @andrewisaround.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Before 1/3/91 the listings were regulated - BBC channel listings were only allowed in the Radio Times, and ITV listings (and C4 I think) only in TVTimes. 200

Andrew @andrewisaround.bsky.social · 07/12/2025The implementation of passkeys seems to have split in half. Some companies, eg MS, allow you to create multiple keys on a variety of devices like Yubi. Others, eg PayPal, only let you create one key that can only be saved on a phone. The former is the correct implementation IMO but not universal. 000
Andrew @andrewisaround.bsky.social · 21/11/2025I’ve added more than 1,000 new (well, old technically) letters from six months worth of teletext to the Zine Museum! Come check it out: zinemuseum.co.uk/newszinemuseum.co.ukNewsRecent news about The Mega-Zine Museum. 022

Andrew @andrewisaround.bsky.social · 26/09/2025What they should have done is make it an optional thing that makes bureaucracy easier (eg generate driving licence counterpart codes, prove right to work, open bank accounts, age etc) and then make it de facto mandatory, instead of going in force first. 000
Andrew @andrewisaround.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Apple users can potentially share the sentiment when iOS 26 comes out tomorrow 😂 010

Andrew @andrewisaround.bsky.social · 19/01/2025I swear the BBC's turning into a paywall site, like lots of the newspapers have done. Thankfully reader view works, but I don't want an account. Not now. Not ever. 010
Andrew @andrewisaround.bsky.social · 16/01/2025I had a look and there are some responses to a letter written by Lister on 1994/09/16, but sadly I don't think we've found the original letter yet. But it must be close to there. 120
Andrew @andrewisaround.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Great recap. Fingers crossed we unearth some of this great stuff soon! 🤞 110
Andrew @andrewisaround.bsky.social · 11/01/2025I don't think AI (LLMs) will take over anything yet, judging by this response. Worst of all, I still don't know what was wrong with Felix's lighter! Judging by his shock when Bond lights it, it definitely wasn't a "personal touch"... 000
