Rather than waiting for it to eventually arrive in my country I decided to download and manually install the upgrade to Nothing OS 2.5.2 by using the direct download link (link) (I’ll do a factory reset later on so that I can clear off all the old cruft and set it up like a new…

Another day another dime and this morning Santa came late and dropped off a chest freezer that’ll be put into my office (no room in the kitchen) where I’ll gradually build up a good supply of food so that there is less temptation to buy take outs. It’s been a week of taking this approach…

Woke up today and checked email before getting up then checked my software was up to date and to my surprise Apple has released updates for all their platforms as well as Firefox 122 being made available on their server so I updated them both. Looking into a bit of detail for the macOS 14.3…

I was watching the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event – after all the excitement had died down. I may be interested in technology but I’m not going to get up at some ungodly hour of the morning (yeah, I’ve stopped doing it for Apple events as well). Side note, I really do wish that Samsung would…

Firefox 121 was released recently with a massive laundry list of features that developers have been clamouring for and the Firefox developers have been working on as part of the web compat project such as the :has pusedo class along with many others (link). What I think is also extraordinary is the giant leap in…

Admittedly I am late to the party but Apple released updates for all their platforms but the more interesting aspect to this is the progress that Safari is making in terms of fixing bugs and improved compliance with the work being done with the Interop 2023 team (link) (link). The interesting part is how a…

It’s been over a month since making the move to Firefox due to the Chrome development team becoming increasingly hostile to end users and their ability to run content blocking extensions by creating a crippled extension framework in the name of ‘security and privacy’. The one thing you quickly learn as you get older is…

We’ve all probably heard about Elon Musk and the message he sent to advertisers. Personally I think that Ari Melber is being far to generous as to the motivations behind what Elon said when he was interviewed at the New York Times DealBook Summit. I’m a great believer in Occam’s razor – “the simplest answer…
