Great 50% off deal on this portable power bank. Bargain at £8.99 delivered. I’ve previously purchased 2 of these, now trying hard not to buy a third! Be quick, as these deals tend not to hang around for long. This Amazon UK link, is not an affiliate link www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08JTQ66K7

Amazed that the excellent Mackie DLZ Creator, which I reviewed recently (4.5/5 stars) dropped today to only £529 at Amazon UK & eBay. Lowest price I’ve seen. Unsure how long this price will last. amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C46MP77P Not an affiliate link just wanted to share this deal with you!

As I write, the excellent Mackie DLZ Creator which I reviewed recently (4.5 stars out of 5) is still available at #BlackFriday #CyberMonday pricing in the UK. At only £559 at Amazon UK & eBay this is a bargain. Not sure how long this price will last. amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C46MP77P

Waiting with bated breath @clivebull.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk tonight.

A little AI game… Here are two AI generated images of a “Synth God” at work. Which do you prefer, and can you suggest a prompt that would improve the image? I will apply the best suggestion(s) and post the results here.

I beg to differ, here is the stereo-ceratops…

Thanks to all those who’ve just followed me having heard the chat with @clivebull.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk just now. Feel free to ask for tech advice or Black Friday buying advice here, I’ll do my best to help you. Welcome!

Tune into @lbc.co.uk tonight for the always magnificent @clivebull.bsky.social and stay for the advice on how to snag the best Black Friday deals and resist the rest. Cheers.

18th November 2024 - Discussing the X-odus to Bluesky on BBC Radio London #Fevzi #Turkalp #Gadget audioboom.com/posts/861036... via @Audioboom

Love this. Beep!

“Hey there, Mr. Blue We're so pleased to be with you Look around, see what you do Everybody smiles at you Mister Blue Sky” youtu.be/aQUlA8Hcv4s?...

I’m so sorry to read today of the passing of iconic broadcaster Howard Hughes, it’s hard to believe. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends…

For those that missed my conversation about Bluesky with the wonderful @clivebull.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk here it is on the Gadget Detective Podcast. You can listen to it here and subscribe for free if you’d like to hear more… audioboom.com/posts/860942...

Don’t blame me!

Here’s another example of people realising that the X algorithm was controlling their feed in unexpected ways.

That’s very interesting to hear, one wonders of the differences in the algorithm. You’ll be aware of course that Bluesky was first developed by Twitter in the Jack Dorsey days.

I suspect it won’t be long until they arrive here in numbers…

@mandymoo1.bsky.social Hi Mandy, good to see you here.

That particular algorithm has been “adjusted” to within an inch of its life…

I hope the BBC open its full range of accounts here, it’s warranted and in line with its remit.

Not quite sure why my feed is full of pictures of various species of birds. I guess the algorithm will take a little while to know me. Either that, or BlueSky is trolling Twitter (X)…

Amazing!

Good to know…
