Just checking this isn’t just me.

Monday: “Security vulnerability in Claude Code allows override of system workspace trust settings allowing remote code execution”

Tuesday: “You can now enable Claude to use your computer… it opens yours apps, uses your browser, fills in spreadsheets – anything…”

Me: No. Please don’t do that!!!

Content warning:Short review of Project Hail Mary movie – attempting no spoilers but warning you anyway.


I maintain that the most unrealistic things in Project Hail Mary are:

1) The world collectively puts their faith in experts/scientists.

2) The countries of the world collaborate to save themselves from a disaster that’s 20 years away.

Project Hail Mary is a great movie. Takes itself less seriously than The Martian did. Surprisingly faithful to the book! They do the end very fast, and there are places where complicated things have been simplified of skimmed over. But they just about cover everything. Which is impressive!

My wife knows nothing of the book and enjoyed it too.

Watched an interview with Ryan Gosling about Project Hail Mary where he mentions The Abyss as a good sci-fi film. Not seen that for years. Where can I watch it?

OK. I am not a mad crazy sportsball man. I like to watch about 7 or 8 Six Nations rugby matches in a year.

Now… my kids get to watch vast amounts of whatever TV they like every day (it’s fine, we limit screen time!). But I want to watch two hours of rugby match in peace (or with other interested parties) and I swear it’s just impossible.

So bloody annoying. 🤬

Anyway. Epic and brutal match tonight. Huge congrats to France.

The new WordPress in your browser thing is neat. Playground is a really innovative project.

But it’s being touted for personal apps. Which I think is bonkers.

It’s 137MB clean download, and you have to run PHP, a database and a web server in your browser.

Just write some JavaScript.

I tried hard to make it last. But my iPhone 13 Mini was finally despairing at me and the 17e was too good value.

I’m now a “Big Phone” person.

Seriously, how do y’all cope lugging these huge bricks around all day? 😆

I miss 5.4” already.
