It's quite a sign of the times that Ford is pivoting away from EVs and will focus its battery tech on AI data centers instead. There's a growing list from memory manufacturers to construction companies all pivoting from their primary focus areas to feed at the AI datacenter trough.

After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X. Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

I haven't blogged for ages, so I wrote far too many words about something that happened 40 years ago, and which nobody outside of America cares about.

OK!😎 The story goes... a guy called Bill saw this screensaver & thought "I want to play that" so made a game called TranQuility (tq) www.megarat.com/indigo/ I played in 2001 on Mac, still today on Win, & dream about it. My current side-project is this for browser. I'd like to see/play the original

BBC you’re encoding your dashes all wrong, and you’re optimistic if you think I’m going to watch all 33 years of that, it was bad enough the first time round… Also, it wasn’t me watching it was my son and god knows why he’s watching Colin Baker episodes instead of the Dalek eps I suggested #kids
