I had a great day to day – just lazing around the house, doing the usual chores, put the wheelie bins out for pick up on Wednesday and enjoyed a vegetarian Mexican chilli with some buttered toast. The weather was looking good tonight so I decided that if I am going to get back into the routine of going for a walk each day then this would be the time to do it. The walk was 11km and I cam back feeling really good but my legs were a little sore but not as bad as I would have expected having not done any exercise for almost 2-3 weeks. After I cooled down I jumped into the shower and relaxed as I took some mental notes such as changing my alarm to 9:30am so then I can get back into the routine of walking each day. I’ve decided what I’ll do is go for an 11km walk each day and even on wet days I’l still get up at 9:30am so then I keep in that routine – I find that if you break a routine it is difficult to get back into one vs just keeping the same routine every day so then your body gets used to it.
uBlock Origin Lite 2026.713.1408 has been released – the update has now been made available on MIcrosoft Edge store and Apple store but it is waiting for approval for the Chrome store. I’m looking forward to the release of Chrome 152 and the inclusion of ‘IndexedDB: SQLite backend’ which should improve the speed and reliability of web app that use it such as Gmail and other Google apps. Apple has released the public beta of version 27 of their platforms but I’m going to hold out until the official release which will probably be around the end of September or early October but keeping in mind that it depends on how well macOS 27 progresses (iOS 27 is on a tighter schedule because it has to be finalised and ready for the launch of the next iPhone and if there is an Apple TV 4K refresh and HomePod then it’ll also mean those platforms will have to be ready.
This isn’t a wild prediction but I think we’ll see better and cheaper batteries which will allow cars with ranges of over 1000km, trucks with a range equal to that, a more extensive use of batteries when it comes to the train network which will avoid the need for costly electrification projects and we’ll see more renewables with a lot more battery capacity which will avoid the need for peaker plants completely.
The other piece of technology would be the rise in generation 4 nuclear reactors. Fusion energy is still a long way away given the challenges that it faces. I believe that generation 4 nuclear reactors will start to be phased in as the need to address climate change will overcome any sort of lingering anti-nuclear remnants in society once people realise that generation 4 nuclear reactors are poles apart from previous generations.
