Suck it, insomniacs. (It's usually MUCH lower 😂)

In case anyone was wondering, the iPhone 18 Pro Max takes a good photo. So does Cooper 😍

A brown dog standing on a stone surface in a grassy area. The dog has its tongue sticking out. There are two black objects and a white object with a black base in the background.

Maybe it's just poorly worded. Same as the hed that's plain wrong. He wasn't sent off for a goal celebration. He was booked for it. He'd already been booked prior — that's why he got sent off. Words mean things.

I know the BBC is under pressure right now, and its sports coverage particularly so. But, I don't know, maybe the guy got his second yellow for one of those things he did and you just said he should get a yellow for. Maybe it's just badly worded. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/...

Say what you want about Xbox, but those folks sure do know how to celebrate a birthday 🎉🙃

We just had to have our 18 year old cat put down and then this arrives. Quite the rollercoaster. Think setup time is going to have to wait. Amazingly, this is the first pet we've lost 😔.

I've been saying this for years, so let's not pretend it's new. There's one in particular whose videos really should have an ad label on them. If someone is grinning and gushing like crazy, you can't trust what they're saying.

Funnily enough, this *just* appeared for me but, like you, actually getting everything updated is usually a three-month task littered with lots of "yeah I'll do it later" and such. This needs to be so much better.

Also, is this percentage counter new to the RC?

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 14/09/2026

Set my old iPhone 15 Pro Max up because I might need to return the Air before the Duo (hopefully) lands and oh boy that's a big slab of phone. It's amazing how you get used to the Air being so thin and light and don't notice it. Until you do. Wow.

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 13/09/2026

I don't even know where to start with this.

Since we moved a few months ago I've been working from my MacBook Pro while we work out a plan for building an office in the garden. But I grew tired of being hunched over the small display. Implemented a workaround in the conservatory this AM. It'll do for now.

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 17/08/2026

Oh, and this just happened 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 15/08/2026

Very much looking forward to locking myself in or out of my own house trying to fit this later.

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 07/08/2026

Any iPhone Air owners out there? Curious what your battery health is like because woah boy this seems… bad?

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 05/08/2026

There's a definite "moving the deckchairs around on the Titanic" vibe to this stuff, isn't there?

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 03/08/2026

I've always liked the idea of having a smart home/media centre dashboard. A spare iPad and some Home Assistant fiddling later and it's getting there. Ignore all the pink and the unsightly cable. It's a work in progress!

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 03/08/2026

Cue a mad dash to the house behind ours and, much coaxing later… Bet she doesn't go walkabout again any time soon.

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 30/07/2026

Here you go, have a picture of the most confused spaniel you'll ever see.

020

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 27/07/2026

It finally happened. I found an honest to goodness use for Shortcuts that will make a real daily difference to our family and isn't just productivity porn. What a time to be alive 😂

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 24/07/2026

I remain convinced that a ton of the problems people have with mesh Wi-Fi systems would be solved by a 10-gigabit wired backhaul connection. In fact, I think that'd solve most problems in general. 😍

000

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 22/07/2026

It finally happened. I found a real, actual real world use for Siri AI that'll save everyone asking what's for dinner every day. Amazing. There must be a way to automate this, too.

FIFA's winner rings are gaudy and horrific and I want one.

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 10/07/2026

Ah, right. So they do reset after the quarters but I'm guessing any suspension incurred IN the quarters wouldn't be wiped. In my defense it's 400 degrees in this room and I'm now a pool of my own juices. www.independent.co.uk/sport/f...

So the new #SWFC home shirt leans into the club's history like the new owners have been doing since they arrived. But I can't unsee the fact they didn't centre align the owl and Umbro logos and I don't see how it isn't triggering everyone that sees it. Season ruined. 😂

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 08/07/2026

Think I'd settle for England not making the final just to make sure I don't have to endure whatever fresh hell that half time show is going to be.

010

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 07/07/2026

Anyway. Now that's the U.S put firmly back in its box for another four years can we concentrate on the serious teams and an exciting run to the final?

000

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 28/06/2026

Still fiddling with the living room layout of the new house and I think I've settled on the Switch 2/ Steam Deck either side of the TV. Pros: Looks good. Means I'll always know where they are/I won't pick one up and it be dead. Cons: The holes we drilled for the HomePod cables don't fit HDMI. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yesterday was a good day. Came down to London for a live orchestral performance of music from Hades/Hades 2 and the Persona franchise. Even found an anime-themed Japanese restaurant for dinner. We even navigated the London Underground without any casualties!

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 25/06/2026

I'm done. Make it stop. 😓

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 25/06/2026

Selling out of a game that is a code in a box that's identical to the digital version you'll download online anyway is nothing that happens now. As if preordering a game in 2026 wasn't insane enough.

000

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 23/06/2026

Ok no thank you. I think there's been some kind of mistake.

000

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 12/06/2026

I feel like this describes a lot of the ways people insist on using AI to do things.

010

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 12/06/2026

Interesting (to me at least) that iOS 27 battery life has been fine all week. Then Siri AI was enabled last night and now….

000

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 09/06/2026

That's new, right? Handy info, if not life changing.

000

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 05/06/2026

Nope. Just. Nope. Let the man rest for the love of god.

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 04/06/2026

I think it's important to know where Marathon's players are before we read too much into this. I was led to believe it wasn't Steam.

000

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 04/06/2026

I should be doing something productive but instead I'm scrolling Twitter and despairing. Send help.

000

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 04/06/2026

Yep, I'm calling it. "Escapism fantasy" is so extra I refuse to believe a real person could bring themselves to write it. It's like the plagiarism machine got a hold of the worst PR copy and tried to turn it into an insult 😂

Oliver Haslam @oliverhaslam.com · 04/06/2026

Cop a load of this guy (It's a bot, right? Has to be) coming off the top rope with the tepid zinger. Sort, so strange.
