The price of extracting internet from ore and shipping it from the Middle East has also increased.

This has gone off shockingly quietly. Given the noise Ryanair and Michael O Leary made by saying no, the far bigger story here is that Aer Lingus said yes.

Other countries: shorter weeks, curfews, car bans, etc. Ibec: nah bro get em into the office five days a week, that'll solve the fuel crisis for sure.

If WFH directives come in, my electric scooter is a diesel in case anyone asks.

Claude Cowork. A cool idea until I read I have to leave my PC running. My gaming PC. An absolute power hog. So now people are leaving their power hungry PCs running to schedule AI to carry out power hungry tasks. Jaysus lads.

Why was I wasting my time with ChatGPT. Claude is next level.

I was today years old when I learned this GIF isn't Julia Roberts. It's a Brazilian actress by the name of Renata Sorrah. Funny enough, I searched Julia Roberts to find this gif.

My days. What a segment on The Last Leg by Vittorio Angelone last night. Calling out a politician to the Belfast closing line. Pure art.

MacBook is dropped in for repair at a Apple Certified place in Dublin. 12+ working days for repair. This is the premium Apple Care experience. On MacBook that needs a jump start off an other MacBook. It was logged in for repair on a Mac that could likely fix it.

Apple Care experience in Ireland is piss poor versus other countries. These posts are the ones that sign post and incoming rant article. The fact we pay the day for Apple Care and don't have tbr same capacity of service centres is woeful.

Unsurprisingly the article on @goosed.ie about #JollaPhone is doing well with reems of Direct traffic 😂 tracking through privacy focused - always a joy.

I'm officially a Monzo Ireland customer. One industry that is being pulled kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Use my link 😂 monzo.com/ie/waitlist?...

If you're at MWC, access to Zona University from Collblanc is closed off. If you know what getting to that platform is like, you'll understand my devastation at only finding out at the bottom 😂

Holy moly. Xiaomi is launching its first tracking tag. Just €15 per tag is wild.

Xiaomi is Europe's no.1. electric scooter brand with over 7m unit sales globally. And now, they've announced a more rugged scooter - Xiaomi Electric Scooter 6 Ultra - €799

AI is normalising a little. The free trials for likes of Gemini are common, but just 3 months. AI is expected, but time to start paying up. #MWC

Xiaomi making an utter mockery of Apple battery. iPhone 17 Pro, with extra 25% charging still died with Xiaomi 17 on 23% 😂 #MWC

Xiaomi - phones, smart home accessories, my rice cooker and a lot of EVs. #MWC

Both my phone and Mac decided the night before MWC was update o clock. Phone is grand, but Mac is bricked. Marvelous.

Apple care signing off with "enjoy the bull fighting in Spain" 😂. Was tempted to start an animal welfare debate but it was probably a LLM I was chatting with.

Amazing from the Danes. Everyone seems to think things like this are impossible. I gave up WhatsApp for two years. Not without consequence but it is doable.

Right - initial steps were quite easy, but that got really complicated. It took about 80-100 GPT prompts to get it up and running, but it's running. There are practical limitations - but that was fun!

As we speak - I'm working on self hosted Bitwarden.

It's a step too far for me. 1Password is increasing pricing by 33% to €50 on my next renewal. An app I love and am fairly loyal to with a big believe in what they do - but now, I'm done. Way too much of a leap.

When you don't know if you're going to be Epstein'ed or Diana'ed

Me in the back of a taxi while the radio reruns me saying ride hailing with Uber is a good idea.

If you have bad news for anyone Irish companies, today is the day to bury it #pr

Mildly concerned about getting hit by a taxi on the way home today 😂

You're sweating now motherfucker

You can listen back to the interview here. open.spotify.com/episode/1mNf...

Wrote this on @goosed.ie today and was just on with @mcculld.bsky.social discussing too. Ride hailing solves more problems than it makes. Urban and rural Ireland AND more importantly - consumers - will benefit from it. goosed.ie/news/ireland...

Thierry Henry nailed exactly what Mourinho was at last night. Deflect from facts and control narrative. Very simple. Coward 25 covered his mouth. He needs to say what he said. It seems clear to the rest of the world.

That's the end of any hope I'll see that market running in my life time. www.reddit.com/r/Dublin/s/l...

Three strategically placed Greggs in Dublin would do sick numbers

I realise I'm incredibly bitter about the fact it's really easy to trace Mock the Week's lineage back to The Panel and we don't have that any more.

Has this been off the back of new news or the annual "were still going something" PR push?

To the PR people pitching me interviews for MWC. Sending your first email with the RE subject trick makes your out reach look reaaaaaal cheap.

The Pitt is one of the most addictive shows I've watched in recent times

Can the government have some sort of emergency fund for the rain? I mean... there is a name for such a fund. It should be used solely for us to have a pint to forget how wet it is.

This is me.

Went to Alan Menken last night in Dublin. As someone with zero expectations I really enjoyed it. Can only imagine what the hardcore fans thought.

Guys, I'm so unbelievably sure that this went up in mid-Jan and not Christmas. Or am I losing it?

Yeah but he would say that wouldn't he

Google's Home ecosystem is expensive, restricted and hit and miss in terms of functionality. But I get why it's popular. But then you see this kind of setting where there's no daily option, I want to throw stuff out the window.

Regarding the Epstein files, accountability seems very.... non-US? Multiple Brits, Norwegians, French and Slovakians. Yet, anyone in the States just continues along? Wild. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

My ROG Ally now has the #Hackers boot screen on Armoury Crate load. It makes me happy. #gaming #rogally

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Legitimately, I quite liked Rotten Tomatoes. But realistically, the platform is dead to rites now after the 99% Melania score was obviously bot farmed. Like they have to address this.

Popped into my mind that if products I reviewed, this one is still plugging along and running great. Compost despite living in an apartment. It's expensive mind goosed.ie/reviews/reen...
