Just turned this off on my laptop.

It's just turned 10pm and this is the temperature in my bedroom (well I just turned it on and it keeps going up but can't be arsed waiting for it to stop). Scientifically speaking there's a number, we don't yet know what number, of oil execs, that if they disappeared, sleep would be feasible.

Today’s free newsletter is about how LLMs are the perfect grift to exploit an economy dominated by do-nothing managers and executives disconnected from any real work, and how the facade is crumbling as companies pay the true cost of AI. www.wheresyoured.at/the-revenge-of-the-business-idiot/

Contract is ending. Are any orgs looking for someone with experience across business operations, cybersecurity and compliance? Got a software company that had 0 hope of getting through CE+ previously, through CE+. I'm trained as an ISO 27001 internal auditor. Open to roles in #Cornwall, or remote

Wow. Glad I nuked my Fitbit use of nearly 10 years when I did.

Just found a subreddit that pairs people with fucked up balls of string with people who love detangling balls of string and it is *very* wholesome

Watching Iron Man, which was released in 2008, is a really different watch when you view it in 2026 with the BS that's being pulled by big tech these days. Like the thing that breaks my suspension of disbelief isn't Tony flying around in a gold-titanium alloy exoskeleton suit...

I don't want Yes/Not Now or Yes/Maybe Later options when I'm offered added AI for software that has always worked fine without it. I want Yes/No, not now, not ever, not this side of the heat death of the universe.

A manager working for a top surveillance company sold a bunch of powerful hacking tools to a Russian company. Those tools then ended up being used by the Russians. Here's what happens when hacking tools spiral out of control Watch, subscribe here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWxL...

I realised that I've watched 22 different TV shows while knitting, over the past 10+ years. That's a lot of TV and a lot of knitting. I've decided to rank each of those shows for their "watchability while knitting". Sorry to any Criminal Minds fans... geryow.com/over-10-year... #knitting

Working on a blog post ranking all the TV shows I can remember watching while knitting. It's 22 different shows over the past 12+ years. Which begs the question: Can you watch TV while you knit? If you can, what do you like to watch? #knitting

With Sony's £90/$100 price increase announced for PlayStation consoles today, I decided to take a look at how we can all make the most of the tech we've got (and what we can all do differently when we do need to buy something). geryow.com/make-the-mos...

NEW: WebinarTV, a company that bills itself as “a search engine for the best webinars,” is secretly scanning the internet for Zoom meeting links, recording the calls, and turning them into AI-generated podcasts for profit. @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social reports:

A very sorry result for those who had top quality work on Videogamer that predates the AI slop era. For the idiotic new parent, a top notch fuck around/find out really -- they are lucky Google didn't manually deindex every brand they own, as that's what I would've done

How the flaw works sounds very familiar to a previous flaw in a website that Cornwall Council had built to book slots for local household waste centres. No authentication was needed, but just pressing the back button revealed other people's details. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The potential security breaches here are staggering. Companies House could be in a lot of trouble. "A major vulnerability in the Companies House website enabled free access to the "dashboard" of any of the five million registered companies. It revealed directors' home addresses and email addresses"

This has got to be one of the most pointless applications of the technology yet.

Am I the only parent that reads "boring" books to their kid at bedtime (post reading kiddo's books) in order to finish settling them down to sleep? My kid is learning so much about geopolitics right now.

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 is almost here. My latest blog takes you through what I like about the character. Plus I have some handy view order lists if you can't get enough of Charlie Cox as Daredevil. Read all about it here: geryow.com/daredevil-bo... #Daredevil

TGIF.

"Grammarly has never been interested in writing, or even improving it. Its only interest is in making money...The company's business model is designed to make people feel insecure about their own writing so that they believe that they need an AI assistant to do something as simple as send an email."

Anti-Trans Health Secretary & Labour leadership hopeful Wes Streeting claims his segregation of trans people in the NHS are to “protect (cis) women”. Yet he brought Palantir into the NHS, something that its CEO has now admitted will specifically harm cis women. Streeting and Palantir must go.

So Google is jamming in Gemini into Google Maps. I think I might go back to using a more traditional satnav while driving. blog.google/products-and...

Been working on a blog post about Daredevil for my site, Geryow. Going live late on Friday. This is all because Born Again season 2 approaches, and I am very hyped.

Why is Britney Spears' "Womanzier" suddenly stuck in my head? I've not heard it in YEARS. I do not need this ear worm right before bed.

I feel like there's a lot of right hand doesn't know/ignoring what the left hand is doing in UK government. On the one hand, you've got the Department for Culture, Media and Sport running an ad campaign on Facebook about careers in the UK creative sector. 1/2

In case you haven't seen this. I edited my lists last week. Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your Address www.404media.co/amazon-wishl...

I'm very sorry but I am angry this morning.

As for the latest version of #WutheringHeights ... Well, it's been a while since anything convinced me to check out the source material after watching. Got a copy of Wuthering Heights on the go. Preferring the original novel so far. Film is pretty but felt like it was missing something.

You probably don't want to read about a thing I invented in 2011 called the "Catwoman Test". Probably. 1/4 #Catwoman #filmopinion

Latest on blog: I revisit the Catwoman Test, a way for figuring whether you think a film is bad or just okay. I haven't touched this idea in 15 years, not since an old blog of mine, but at least this time, I've got a check list for you. Free to read with sign up geryow.com/revisiting-t... #films

Look, I'm excited that more Daredevil: Born Again is being released next month. I'm more excited about it than Avengers: Doomsday. (This is a post for people who are at least chill about Marvel's non-comic book output.)

What Altman said, isn't okay: "People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model – but it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes about 20 years of life – and all the food you consume during that time – before you become smart." There are concerning implications.

I have yet to see a single positive response over the weekend's Xbox leadership news. No one who enjoys videogames thinks Asha Sharma is the right person for becoming Xbox CEO. She's clearly a pick for shareholders, not customers. www.eurogamer.net/former-xbox-...

No lies detected.

i am doing a stream for @specialeffect.org.uk gameblast 26 on february 28th at 10am i'm going to crank a resident evil 2 remake randomizer to a difficulty i will struggle to handle, and die a lot to raise money for an amazing cause please donate if you can! www.justgiving.com/page/reforga...

Finally finished reading @tomburgis.bsky.social's book "Kleptopia". It has taken me a little over 18 months, but was worth it. And I'm pretty sure the lessons given in this book very much have not been learned. Not by a long shot.
