I do the camera edits at 2x, so your 1.3x is more than acceptable haha!! And many, many thanks!

No offense taken obviously. Change of personal circumstances thus availability. He will show up at some point. And thank you!

Enough of that “one-time code to your email” login thing. I don’t want to go to my email, and come back or open a new page by following some link. Live in 2026, implement passkey.

What is premium about premium economy? Was British Airways the Emirates of the 80s/90s? What is a part-time terminal? Questions over beers at Paul's place — and we recorded it all for you. Listen/watch: linktr.ee/layoverspodc... #podcast #airtravel #avgeek #aviation #travel #L152

ABSOLUTE CINEMA. As our 150th gift to all who kept asking, you can now catch us in glorious Technicolor. Yes, we’re on video. The episode where Alex wanders into an abandoned primary school. The episode where Paul blanks on the name of Airplane! (seriously). Listen/watch: linktr.ee/layoverspodc...

I recently went to the refurbished under the tracks section nearby, between Ochanomizu and Kanda stations on the Chuo Line — it’s nice, but I feel it’s too neat. I hope they don’t “improve” the existing sections, such as next to Yurakucho, too much.

Purely anecdotal, but I’ve been using the google app more recently, as I’ve had bugs using the input bar on safari for searches at times (I’d type something, hit enter, and nothing would happen, and safari would not log the search, making me re-type the query — no such issue on the google app).

I believe Linate is still testing so you need to register (opt in) for it to work. Btw I’ve been lucky to see the behind the scenes operation center of HKG airport, and what they do with cameras and people is quite 😮 (with more privacy guardrails than nearby if you see what I mean haha).

Coming to the UK soon (trials have been made at Gatwick a few years ago, plus your face is already automatically scanned at every UK airport).

Had that for immigration too in Dubai (it was a test then). Amsterdam has something like that and Milan too. It can be done via a passport upload (when you check in online or scanned at a kiosk at the airport) or at a doc check - basically the first time there’s a biometric handshake.

Besides the usual (Kamakura for the beach vibes, Nikko for a nice green stroll), you could consider going north, Matsushima, or stretching it, Aomori (did the Shinkansen return in a day, departure super early morning) although my day trips are usually driven by a visit to some museum of modern art.

Google Maps: that street & number you looked for, 20 minutes ago? Nah, that’s not recently searched, I’m helping you fight dementia, focus, remember it yourself. Also “Shinjuku”? Sure, here’s Shinjuku Foods LLC, a place with no photos or reviews, 30 miles away. I’m sure you’ll like it.

Assuming it’s google calendar, Google has changed how it handles birthdays, they’re now on the main calendar and the apps need to update how they handle them. In the meantime, you can go to your google calendar on web, and turn off “sync from contacts”, the birthdays won’t appear anymore.

I tend to try to compartmentalise — once a season of a series I like finishes, I try to fully forget about it until the next one (here helped by Severance starting the same day). But yeah, it’s really tempting to go for the books.

If someone wanted to start a newsletter in 2025, would it be not also best to narrate it on YouTube? It’s a play on niches versus scale. Don’t trust my word though, I still listen to radio 😆

Man, I can’t believe this :-( My memory of him is forever tied to that restaurant (don’t think it’s the one in my pic, Ben was there too) in Palermo back in 2011, when Enrique was considering beef because if there had to be one time to do so, it had to be in Argentina. Lovely tribute, you wrote.
