The Apple TV app, on the Apple TV, in Aotearoa. That’s a surprise to say the least from a point update (tvOS 12.3). It is, of course, useless for anything other than iTunes Movies. Because of course it’s useless. We don’t even get the option to buy or rent TV series here.
Spend a few billion fitting solar and batteries in urban areas. NZ could be very close to 100% renewable, relatively quickly. $2bn would buy over a GW worth of solar panels.
Britain passes one week without coal power for first time since 1882
Penultimate episode of Game of Thrones. I wasn’t bored, but I was disappointed. Glad it’s over next week.
Penultimate episode of Game of Thrones. I’m expecting to be bored and disappointed at the same time.
I really like Raspberry Pis. They’re such capable, tiny little computers. But they need to stop lying about the price. There’s nowhere you can buy the Raspberry Pi Zero for their claimed $5.
Some positive environmental news, for once. Now to get the laws passed and the transition away from plastic completed. As quickly as possible.
Sometimes you plan out doing something, start, overcome a couple of hiccups, and then finish. And it works the way you want it to. I did that this weekend. And most surprisingly, it was all done on Linux.
When did they remove the JJ Abrams Star Trek movies from Netflix?
These mugs are a taonga. If you’re a Kiwi, you know these mugs very, very well. Turns out we’re the only ones.
The people’s cup: How the Arcoroc mug took over New Zealand.
Can anyone recommend a distributed cloud system or product where I canhave a hard drive at my plce and one at my parents’, and they sync?
Has anyone ordered a Starbucks and given their name as “Daenerys Targaryen, First of Her Name”?
Just to confirm that I’ve finally worked this out: a love triangle isn’t actually a triangle, it’s a V, right?
Watching episode 4 of Game of Thrones Season 8 made me realise something. I don’t actually care how this story ends 🤷🏻♂️
I rebuild my Raspberry Pi from scratch recently. It’s running well, except the file server I have on it is so slow now. The only change I made was swapping an SSD in a USB casing for a thumb drive. I didn’t think it’d make a difference. Time to test plugging the old drive in.
Here’s why moderate drinking is probably not good for you.
I drink a beer (1-2 standard drinks, depends on the ABV), 3 nights a week. I don’t know if that classifies as moderate or not, but I love my craft beer. Everything you do is a risk. May as well enjoy life a little.
I love the Clear Todo App, but it hasn’t been updated in 3 years, and today its iCloud syncing seems to have broken. Any recommendations for a ToDo app that works across iOS, macOS and allows sharing between family members?
Emacs, Vi, and the Linux command line are just not capable when it comes to using emoji. “Why would you use emoji on the CLI you freak?” ask the enraged neck beards. Because I’m human and colours and icons make things easy to distinguish.

I have programmed in many languages. I like Swift. I stumbled my way through Objective-C. Perl was great while I retained its syntax in my head. Javascript is… Javascript. But Python. Python is probably my favourite. It’s so strict on its form, and so powerful in its function.
This is incredible. Solar eclipses on Mars, including an animation of the shadow of Phobos racing across the landscape!
Every city should do this.
Amsterdam to ban petrol and diesel cars and motorbikes by 2030
2019-05-04 be with you.
The New Zealand road toll now stands at 140. 140 people. If cars were anything else they’d have been banned by now.
