Relevant newspaper article for this particular moment in time…of the week!

To be fair, I was somewhat motivated by rare beer being on tap!

Sheffield vittles. (Yes, I am aware KI is now brewed in Bakewell. I don't care. The crisps probably come outwith the city too, I wouldn't be surprised.)

Oh well, looks like it's back to a squiggle with a sharpie then.
Thank you for your enquiry.

Unfortunately Zifa closed down earlier this year. The Zifa stampers and the ink cartridges for use in the stampers are no longer manufactured so we are no longer able to offer them for sale.

I know I have previously stated that novelty beers are often disappointing. However, this one is pleasant enough. To be fair, it was on clearance and I needed one item to trigger a "buy beer, get bonus points" supermarket offer I had outstanding! #beer #bskybeer untp.beer/dc97de4aff

Because should you centralise signal control for a region entirely in one location, it's of course not going to cause too much trouble when there's a complete power failure… Extended break now, anyway.

Hooray! I've been invited by work to test logging into my network account, but by not using an MFA method that I don't use already. I can expect a 100% success rate on this trial!
Email message from work:

Hi all,

As part of our ongoing commitment to strengthening security across our environment, you have been selected to participate in a small pilot group focused on improving our Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) methods.

What’s changing?
Over the coming weeks, we will be removing SMS (text message) as an MFA option for your account.

You will continue using the Microsoft Authenticator app, which you already have set up and ready to use.

Why are we doing this?
While SMS has been widely used, it is no longer considered a strong authentication method due to risks such as:

SIM swapping and phone number hijacking
Interception of messages
Dependence on mobile network availability
Moving to app-based authentication helps us:

Reduce account takeover risk
Improve resilience and reliability
Align with modern security best practices

No, thanks. Like I’m really going to update the firmware on my camera to take away features that I use regularly.
Screenshot from Canon support webpages:

File version: 1.4.0 | Release date: 06 November 2025

1. This firmware update ensures compliance with the EU RED EN18031 standard by removing certain network functions.

Affected Features:
Image Upload: Sending images to image.canon will be disabled.
FTP Transfer & Live Streaming: These functions will no longer be available after the update.

Important:
Please review the following information before proceeding with the update.
 • Once installed, this update cannot be reversed. If you use these features, do not update the firmware.
 • This change only affects cameras purchased in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, and Africa).
