Am I the only one that totally missed Liam Neeson voicing the dad in the opening of Fallout 3?

I've reviewed Meta RayBans. Love them if not pricey. But they now have battery issues. A quick Google shows the problem with devices this small and battery durability. Also two companies without experience in the space. Meta not doing products. RayBan not doing smart.

This comes as absolutely no surprise. Be interesting to see what the competition analysis is like. Funny that this all started with Carphone Warehouse launching iD mobile which was forced two new networks to balance the books. One of them was Virgin Media.

It's hilarious. The right thing isn't always deep. It's called leading by example. There's plenty to criticise the government for but this is a very obvious one.

Potentially part political posturing. But good to have vocal criticism like this.

Spineless man condemns spines. Regardless of who's right or wrong, I couldn't care less about what this Muppet thinks about anything

Also in general my new take on air fryers is also what's wrong with that world. Absolute stances. Most absolute stances are problematic.

I was wrong about air fryers. It’s not really about using less oil. The real win is speed and airflow. The amount of air circulation means things cook faster and crisp better than a standard oven ever does. That’s why they’re unreal for yesterday’s food.

Copilot seems to be down in st least Ireland and UK. Potentially limited to Pro licenses.

Dropped my car for a service today. Would have been 40+ mins on public transport to get home. Instead I folded up this Pure scooter I'm testing and got home in 25. No messing. People are obsessed with hating scooters and their users. Every time I say I use one I get, "they're lethal".

Ever watch US medical shows, and people are debating having a surgery because it might change their relationship. They're given days to think about it. Lol. In Ireland you miss your slot and 2 years wait for you. That's what the Irish medical show would be like. Someone should make that.

"What we are watching right now is a set of leaders behaving as if reality is optional". Might seem harsh, but I feel very strongly about Ireland and the EU insulating itself as much as possible from the US. youtu.be/FyStPztM7eo?...

If there is discourse around Dublin's best cookie, let's close it out. Thanks to cookieboy

That goal is still second to Flo's cross field pass earlier. Which was just beautful #YNWA #LIVBUR

Yes Florian Wirtz #YNWA

How Heineken isn't pushing Murphy's and Beamish more is absolutely baffling. It's right there you Island Edge inventing lunatics.

I'll add the biggest give away that the government absolutely isn't doing enough on Grok is simple. They're taking a strong stance saying they are. RTE news : Minister denies Govt taking soft approach to Grok images www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Relating to the recent Grok AI image stuff - Ireland’s Coco’s Law doesn’t just cover “real” photos. An “intimate image” includes anything that purports to be a person, so AI/deepfake intimate images can still fall under the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Act 2020.

This was started out as a different project and pivoted one Sunday with a "5 minutes to close" run to a shop to grab a photo frame. 💻 Raspberry Pi 🔳 10.1 inch touch screen 🏠 Home assistant 🧠 ChatGPT for coding/set up/debugging

You better believe I open the wrong app every single time.

ChatGPT is getting a little too casual with me. Yesterday, it called me "mate" and today it said, for testing my car battery which died - Test 3: Voltage drop during starting (battery condition check). This is the big one for “is the battery shagged”.

Going non-stop in my gaff drying clothes they are.

I have succumbed. I have purchased an airfryer. I didn't realise the trays were dishwasher safe. That alone sold me.

Streamed TV shows are getting slower because of the wait for data to validate popularity. Yet that data ignores anger caused by the massive wait and also people just forgetting about their shows, breaking immersion. Pluribus as a nailed on second season that hasn't even started production yet

There were a lot of reasons I'd hoped my move to Clear Mobile would mean a change in the title of Ireland's best sim only network - but alas. It's completely broken down while roaming, meaning 48 remains my top recommendation still. I'll be switching back when I get back home.

One absolute pet hate of mine. Taking 10 minutes to reach anyone on a web chat service, but them trying to disconnect after 10 seconds of me trying to do something away from the chat.

What's your favourite fitness related gadgets? I know the usual but any apps and gems I'm might have missed?

Dear Bluesky I'm sorry I only remember you exist when I have a journo request - but I'm back again. If you bought a home recently and feel some relief about not having to rent anymore please chat to me about it xx Dms open!

Err Day

I've managed to integrate WhatsApp with Home Assistant 😍 A world of ideas.

Anyone else automating homes with #HomeAssistant for elderly residents? My mum has a monitoring lanyard and motion sensors activating lights with some cameras in the mix. But I'm on the lookout for more ideas For example, I got her a auto medication box. I'm going to add a tilt sensor to this.

I was berated here yesterday by someone for mentioning how silly it was that A. The luas could break down so badly and B. That breakdown then has a knock on effect on wider public transport getting blocked Here we are a day on and the Luas is in worse nick 😂

Dublin things. Luas broken down at trinity blocking buses back up to Dawson street. Christ alive.

One thing that absolutely sends me about creating content is getting the "you should say #ad". Lads, I wish I got paid for stuff enough to have that problem. Recently I turned down a brand because rather just get hands on with a product and send it back.

Here's a round up of my favourite tech gifts this Christmas. Including at least two anti-tech gifts!

The movie line up looks great on RTÉ this Christmas. Pity everything is on demand. You'd miss it. #LateLateToyShow

Patrick was fighting for his life recovering from the tooth fairy gaffe there. #LateLateToyShow

Literally everyone watching the #LateLateToyShow right now

I'm very pro AI. But that coke as is literally one of the most soulless things I've ever seen in my life. How brand totally discarded something so valuable is beyond dumb. Coke should fall.

AZ Alkmaar don't play until Sunday at 1.30pm. #LateLateToyShow

Lads who's that that popped out of the leabharlann. I feel ignant. #Latelatetoyshow

The two young lads are everything about masculinity we need to relearn. Roy the perfect vessel. Everyone things lads are tough lads, but we're not. Loved every second of that #LateLateToyShow

It's nothing short of stunning how easy Revolut has made donating to the Toy Show Appeal. Literally scan, tap done. #LateLateToyShow

Cloudflare is having some more problems. Seems API related and their management platform. One of the tools reported first to be experiencing issues is Claude AI More and more AI platforms are the reason people notice outages showing how much time is being spent in them.

Was in RTÉ this morning with @mcculld.bsky.social talking about tech gifts. And yes, if you were listening I did indeed say "I sleep like a rotisserie chicken" chicken 🐔🍗 Listen back: www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...
