@goodmusic99 @jonoread Experienced and professional broadcasters don’t swear when there’s a mic present - even if they think it’s off.

@jonoread I'm just surprised nobody swore!!! The News switching in and out between the 16 regional variant programmes is quite difficult as all 16 should finish their opt outs in unity ( which is why you often see regional presenters rush to finish or staring at the camera for "eternity"

Instead of the BBC News at Six, viewers in Scotland got an accidental behind-the-scenes at The One Show.

@funkykongfac To be fair Tom Scott is one of the best YouTubers there is. And I’m not massively into YouTubers.

i love this photo so much i wish i knew who this guy is, what he does, what event he's at, and where and when the photo was taken

@TansuYegen To allow for the boarding of a pilot coming in and out of port.

Why do large ships have a small door on the side that looks so dangerous🤓

@edgaralandough Depends. Outstanding bills with a service could in theory be passed to a debt collector. Best to cancel before you get charged.

The best random internet life hack I've ever found is this: When you sign up for a free trial of something, and have to enter a credit card number for an automatic bill at the end of the trial, use an old (empty) visa gift card number. The site will accept it, but you won't actually get charged if you forget to cancel.

@Tech_girlll Same way as flightradar does it. It doesn’t know the exact position at every given second, but it just keeps the movement steady based on the last report and then occasionally corrects itself.

How does Uber make the cars on the map moves smoothly in real time without lag?

@ash_twtz @dailygarbageman It’s not data from satellites. The gps chip triangulates the time difference from at least 3 satellites, but the map data comes from the internet and if there’s no data on the phone it must have been cached or Google maps offers you the ability to download areas in advance.

@robinmonotti I hope so. My gas guzzling cruise ship departs from Barcelona.

Spain will be the outlier to these lockdowns as Sweden was the outlier to the Covid lockdowns.

I'm calling it: there will be ENERGY LOCKDOWNS across Europe starting in approx 2-3 months time. Governments, to allow the US use of their military assets, will order their citizens to STAY AT HOME or use only walking & bicycles for travel to "SAVE OIL TO WIN THE WAR."

@ThePrimeagen Yesterday was the day I took the plunge and opted for the $200 plan and was disappointed with its output.

Claude Opus 4.6 had it's worst benchmark day yesterday

@Oblivious9021 Ah you’re one of those young internet users that don’t remember the late 90’s aren’t you?

Who tf named a domain buying website GoDaddy!?

@levelsio Do you think it’s because you are high profile, or random? If it’s the former, can you not stick the VPS behind Cloudflare and then no one will ever know your IP and even that it’s on Hetzner?

I keep getting abuse reports on Hetzner about portscans on port 22 outbound But I have port 22 outbound blocked in Hetzner's firewall and yes it's enabled etc. I'm starting to think their abuse reports are some kind of abuse itself?

@ErinDusty @Kevbotpunch @littlefucky bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@drl @Kevbotpunch @littlefucky I didn’t know that!

Fuck this.

@ErinDusty @Kevbotpunch @littlefucky She’s also had cancer.

@Kevbotpunch @littlefucky She looks like a a regular woman and many of our own moms. The expectation that people shouldn’t age is weird. We weren’t all born to be super models either. I know you’re not. Feel free to post a pic of yourself though.

@StevePenk Blimey! Stayed hotel a few months ago. Lovely place. Hope all is well.

@cryptofergani Err, any number can go down 99% and then go down 99% again.

BUY. ALTCOINS. NOW. THEY ARE DOWN 99%, THEY CANT GO LOWER NOW EASY 100X FROM HERE

@561Chrisby @iTheWolfman Not Norwich. Linton. It’s equidistant between London and Norwich.

@iTheWolfman She's the receptionist at the Norwich Travel Tavern.

Legend🤣🤣

@mbguercio @atulit_gaur Because it’s extra space and everyone who owns a MacBook will also own an iPhone which acts as a modem seamlessly.

@atulit_gaur The fact that Apple hasn’t done this yet baffles me.

Startup idea: laptop with sim cards so that we can use mobile data on laptops too

@cunha_tristan @EntropyNotebook Came here to say this. There’s no talking happening. It’s listening. Timing the difference in signal between satellites. It’s one way.

@EntropyNotebook Isn't my phone listening to the satellites? It's not really doing much "talking"

Every time you open Google Maps, your phone is talking to at least four satellites orbiting 20,000 km above Earth. Each one beams down ultra-precise timestamps basically saying, “It was 12:00:00.000001 when I sent this.” Your phone measures how long each signal takes to arrive, then triangulates your exact position. Simple, right? Here’s the twist by Einstein. As those satellites are moving fast (about 14,000 km/h), time slows down for them, a prediction of special relativity. But because they’re also far from Earth’s gravity, time speeds up … a prediction of general relativity. Put the two effects together, and their onboard clocks tick about 38 microseconds faster per day than clocks on Earth. That sounds tiny but if engineers didn’t correct for it, your GPS location would drift by roughly 10 km every single day. So every step you take, every Uber you call, every “turn left” you follow… all depends on Einstein’s equations quietly running behind the scenes. Mind bending @imacuriosguy @curiouswavefn

@michael_chomsky The biggest blocker to launching an app in 2026 won’t be making the app, it’ll be the amount of time it takes Google to approve you to publish to the Play Store.
