My preaching has worked! The mighty mountain has one more disciple…

Screenshot. A friend I’ve been nagging to watch the Bathurst 1000 finally agrees it’s amazing.

Australian expat in the UK here: I’ve been preaching about the Bathurst 1000 to anyone who’ll listen for the last few weeks. Allow me to suggest this excellent video…

“Makes contact with ocean floor”, it’s either run around or is in some kind of pen-pal arrangement with the bottom of the sea?

Ever wondered where all the Cheers title photos are from? I did. And I've gathered everything I can find into this post. That was fun.

Windows 10 support ends tomorrow.

They designed it to be EVERGREEN. The UI is still modern. It works flawlessly. Users love it.
Microsoft is killing their most successful OS for literally no reason except to push Windows 11.

This is customer-hostile nonsense.

Can someone explain how data centres use water? I understand water cooled computers, but that’s the same water being used over and over (like a car radiator).
How does a facility like this actually consume water?

Kieran Ryan @kieranryan.bsky.social · 2d

Not only are these data centres devouring energy & water – and feeding the AI bubble that'll blow up our economy when it bursts – they're also wasting vast construction resources (human, materials & admin) that could instead be building homes, solar farms, wind farms etc.
