M3 24-inch iMac review roundup: from raves to disappointment
The design hasn’t changed because it’s as great as it was when it was introduced - slim, colourful and elegant.
Does anyone ever think about WHY they want things to continually change rather than just stay the same? Do they just want it to “look new” so their friends don’t make the faux pas of saying “So you got the M1 iMac?” … err, no, it’s the M3 iMac actually.
QUAD sold the first full-range domestic electrostatic loudspeaker in 1957 - it was regarded by many as the world’s finest loudspeaker. It was withdrawn from sale 25 years later with absolutely no changes made to its design in that time and many considered it still to be the world’s finest domestic loudspeaker then. When you get it right …

UK's latest embarrassing technology demand centers on phone thefts
Our so called government is the most useless ever in my lifetime (and I’m getting on!) but conflating them with the Labour Mayor of London is odd to say the least. I don’t know what power Mr Khan would have in this area at the kind of national/global level being discussed.
As for editorialising, the media does it every single hour of every single day. Every article you read has an angle - some state it up front whereas others (the BBC comes to mind) claim to be impartial. There is no impartiality from the majority of the world’s media and I personally find it refreshing to have the complete incompetence and stupidity of the current shower occupying Number 10 listed. The UK media let them get away with an obscene amount, allow them avoid answering awkward questions and not pulling them up on their never ending stream of lies. One of the main reasons we are living with the nightmare of Brexit is because the media are so supine and never questioned any of the rubbish being spouted at the time. Media behaviour has real world consequences, but when it’s owned by billionaires, what do you expect? They might just have a point of view …

UK tries to claim it hasn't backed down on encryption at all
Coming from our useless government that tells you black is white and up is down this should be no surprise. As it will be no surprise when they try raising the same plan again. -
UK backs down from nonsensical law after threats from Apple, WhatsApp
This is the problems we face now in the UK with a total embarrassment of a government stuffed with utter idiots who have “had enough of experts”.Leaving the EU was an act of reckless self-harm which has brought zero benefits and an ever increasing list of problems for the citizens of the UK, however I have no idea how there is supposed to be a link between that an collapsing school buildings. These buildings were known to have a roughly 50 year lifetime at the time of construction, the Conservative government’s own reports told them in 2018 that they were in serious danger of collapse but true to form, absolutely nothing was done until 11:59pm just before some children and/or teachers are killed by falling masonry. A set of those schoolchildren could run our country way better than the current incumbents.

Apple Watch bands harbor dangerous bacteria -- because no one cleans them
So what has happened to all those people over, say, the last 80 or 90 years who haven’t been washing their watch bands? Did they suffer from awful infections? I think we need to know.
