I hear such good things about them. And I’m curious about the ear health stuff too.

Is it time to invest? Or are they hype?

I hate that I’m even asking this question, but has anyone got 2nd Gen Air Pods Pros and has an opinion on them?

The seem like they would be the most ridiculously expensive, £ for lb, gadget. But:
– My wife will soon be joining me in our garden office and having lots of calls – I need some good noise cancelling.
– Regular AirPods have never stayed in my ears.
– Big “cans” make me too hot.
– They’re currently £40 off!!

Asides:

– Product updates are hard work, aren't they? Testing, videos, documentation, more testing, blog posts, social posts.
– I always write too much. I'm sorry. But I'm also not.

As a rare treat, we have a jar of Nutella.

I have read the ingredients.

And it makes me think that food stuffs should be required to describe themselves in terms of their ingredient proportions.

E.g. Nutella should not be “Hazelnut spread with cocoa”

It should be “Sugar oil with nuts and cocoa”!

Today in browser extension development, I have run into an 11-year-old bug in Firefox that only affects JavaScript in browser extensions, and that has still not been fixed properly!

Crikey!

Also… ARGH!!!!

My browser extension Turbo Admin’s next release is so close!

– Plugin install from the repo
– User switching integration
– Fast, cached search of installed plugins
– Kinsta staging domains
– Much better multisite integration (and other new features very thoroughly tested on it!)
– Better REST API discovery = fewer error states

I just hit some issues with final testing, but it’s coming in the next few days!

Apologies if anyone clicked the stupid funny animal question links I shared and was bombarded with crappy ads.

I obviously have a browser with good ad blocking because I saw NONE of this.

I should probably object terribly to this website. But even if it’s AI slop, it’s amusing me greatly.

‘A dog with no legs is typically called a "three-legged dog" or a "tripod dog.’

‘What do you do with a dog with no legs?

Take him for a drag.’

Oh my. This whole article is a wild ride!

We just wanted to know if a rabbits has four legs or two. Little did we know, this is a true rabbit hole!!

(Please tell me this is AI-generated slop content)

I have a real fear that over-hyped AI companies destroy the web and web search (Google must be in trouble at some point?) and then fall flat on their faces. And then what are we left with?

The World Wide Web feels very fragile right now.

A messy ex-doorway with lots of clutter.

Before and after of my holiday DIY project.

Maybe it doesn’t look like much. And I know I keep going on about it. But I’m not a carpenter or DIY-er by any means. And yes there’s gaps to fill and paint to paint. But I think this is quite the transformation – especially given how NOTHING in our house is straight or flat! – and I’m very proud of myself.

Apparently this offer, even though clearly labelled “You're upgrading <MY NUMBER>" only applies to getting an additional SIM.

The help person asks their manager who “agreed to match this for you as an exclusive offer”… like, OF COURSE YOU DID, you don't get kudos for literally giving me a plan that your website offered me and is in my basket awaiting checkout and I'm trying to make it cheaper and easier to do by not sending a SIM and doing a number port.

Sheesh!!

Wow. I'm trying to upgrade my SIM-only phone plan, and the whole thing is a disaster.

They offer me an upgrade on my existing number. But want to send me a new SIM? Weird.

I try to contact someone.

I hit redirect loops on the help page.

I find terminology that doesn't existing in the help (in fact, you can't search the help).

To get to speak to someone I had to track down a button in the iOS app that called a number that sent me a link to a web-based chat.
