I don’t want to “reduce motion” and animations I want turn this cruft OFF. Disabled completely on both macOS and iOS. Really why can’t I do that?

More evidence on BBC News that the UK is a police state.

Stupid, undoubtedly. Selfish, absolutely. But overstretched Police resources could and should be better deployed.

We all have a social responsibility, the same many of us have had for generations, to look out for each other and keep each other safe. This should never be a police matter.

Found in an old wallet, must be over 10 years old.

These curated collections of photos published each week are consistently good, and this week’s are great illustration of that.

Microsoft Excel Workflow: copy, paste — CRASH!

Man cannot live on Jaffa Cakes alone… but he can try

I don’t care what the manufacturer of the CPU is and how many cores it has, Microsoft Office is still going to beachball and be “uploading” for eternity.

There are no words. This has to be one of the saddest headlines ever to read:

Funeral for mother and sons who died with coronavirus

Your heart just breaks for the husband/father they leave behind.

Watched a couple of reviews of the new M1 MacBooks: rather than the higher end 16Gb models I’m more interested in those with 8Gb RAM and I’d the fans spins up on MS Teams video calls. That’s the real world use case.

I would love for Microsoft to explain there logic that deleting text in Word/PowerPoint copies this content to the clipboard. It’s madness. Better yet would be a feature to disable that nonsense.

Wondering if it’s now safe enough to upgrade to macOS 10.15

Sorry Tim, but it doesn’t “just work“: I get up, walk downstairs, make a coffee, never sit down, walk back up the stairs and at the top my watch tells me I need to stand. The crazy part is that it’s had me hooked for years and the only thing that’s keeping me from breaking my habit is me.

I should create a new blog that generates a post every time excel crashes without warning or on copy and paste. It would probably generate more content than here.
