Once I remembered how to muddle through getting the firmware sorted out (intel iwx) it was typically unfussy and straightforward. Every release of seems to make huge strides on all the quality of life things; web video playback is awesome and highly performant. It's a pleasure to use.

Rescued a Dell Latitude 7320 from the recycle pile. Thought I'd distract and procrastinate with an 7.4 install. Didn't expect to get far. It's absolutely flawless. Hugely impressed.

Had an utterly shit week and this playful jeep cheered me right up.

Sargeant was in such a state he was clearly impaired. These are extremely athletic people. Berger and Brundle we're not enclosed in their cars, did not race in the Middle East and should probably just shut up.

Today in 1947, 76 years ago: Cold War: The House Un-American Activities Committee begins its investigation into Communist infiltration of the Hollywood film industry, resulting in a blacklist that prevents some from working in the industry for years.

Felt like about a year. Usually I just put on some MJQ and zone out. Rain and dark needs total concentration as roads here can be a bit silly.

Ugh. Phone overexposed this. Gloomy and wet. I need a drink. It is 0830.

The big question I have here is: Was this to gain access to something on the vehicle deck in order to take it out? I'm no conspiracy theorist but this seems very, very odd. There was originally a 1 meter gap, enough for a diver or a small ROV, but nowhere enough to take something out.

Obviously it was cut away in order to lift it, but this was 2 years prior. Original condition as per 1997 report up until around 2019, when somebody cut it free. Nobody seems to know who.

Followed the MS Estonia tragedy a while ago, read the report, all the conspiracy theories. Interested to see they raised the bow ramp In Summer, but *most* interestingly someone had opened it from its previously partially closed position. This could only be for easier access to the car deck, to get something big in, or - intriguingly - out.

Glad I'm not one of those people that puts their keys in the car and uses the app to secure it.

Kia telematics absolutely shit the bed about three days ago and has been abnormal since. Something is up with their cloud service and they're saying jack shit.

The DP stepping right in with a light meter is just...perfect.

This re-enactment of the Bale tantrum during Terminator Salvation (with the green screen cardboard box terminator) is magic

I don't know what it is about the Bluetooth stack on Apple devices, but once they pair with something it is like fucking superglue, it just won't pair with anything else until you clear the internal pairing DB.

Android 14 here we come. Hopefully this improves things with this phone. I have not been pleased with it recently.

i wonder if indie games would be more successful if they weren't named something else than "SHADOW GENESIS - THE REMEMBRANCE REFORGED "
