A 1960s space-age classic updated. The 1968 Europhon H10 clock radio now comes with Bluetooth, as well as being wireless. Vintage looks, modern functionality. bit.ly/4s1xJeg

I'm about twenty minutes away from Glasgow so it seems safe to say I will be at the con in time for my reading at 3pm. Do come. We're basically the first act on.

My week in music:
Album art from The Beatles, The Bee Gees, Be Your Own Pet, Getdown Services, Beck, Fonville x Fribush, Steve Lacy, Beautify Junkyards, Charli XCX, Juni Habel, Keith Jarrett, Daft Punk, The Spencer Davis Group and Steve Reich (x2). There is also a space where King Crimson should be because Last Fm aren't allowed to host their album art.

You’d have to be in thrall to the narrowest, most blinkered model of economics to believe that axeing Free Thinking and Thinking Allowed made sense. The amount of goodwill programmes like this earn from the BBC’s core supporters is way out of proportion to the pennies they cost to make.

Hm. Conversations I’ve had with insiders at Netflix are all about how any menu system can’t remotely compete with linear TV - so many disadvantages - and that plenty of programmes and whole genres can only survive on a platform that doesn’t rely on an algorithmic / front page priority system.

Lesbian tennis legend Billie Jean King has long been an ally to the trans community and has repeatedly stood up for the rights for trans athletes. Speaking to Diva in 2025, she said: “I don’t think people have any idea of how hard it is for trans people. Just listen to their stories. Listen – not…

I've tried that several times but I just tried it again and it didn't seem like it had done anything but then the thermostat reconnected so maybe it did.

I am open to suggestions on this one. I've done all the basic turn everything off and on again stuff. The bits that connect to the wifi router and the boiler itself are showing as operational in the app, so I'm assuming the problem is in the thermostat.

Eddie Robson will be at Fantasycon @eddierobson.bsky.social · 16h
Yes. The app doesn't work without the thermostat though. I assumed you could just send instructions to the boiler with the app but no!

Amazing, the "smart" thermostat which the plumber installed along with the boiler, without asking me if I wanted it, is now refusing to connect so we can't use the heating. The old thermostat never did this because it connected to the boiler WITH WIRES.

Yes, it's so short I've listened to it twice on the spin a few times. I aim to do 5k in no more than 30 minutes so the aim is to finish before the album does.

this is absolutely nuts: "the UK’s pension “triple lock” was costed at just £50mn when politicians first settled on a measure that has gone on to cost 300 times as much, according to the top adviser on economic strategy at the time" www.ft.com/content/efdc...

I always suspect the main issue is they want to use "tailored recommendations" to push certain things at you, and that gets in the way of them actually being tailored.

Most of AI (in business terms) is driven by a false belief that TECHNOLOGY is what drove the internet and telecommunications booms of the last two decades. Technology unlocked better communication and business processes. THOSE then drove the boom. Tech was a means to an end, not the end in itself.
