And Russell Martin is currently unemployed too. The Scylla and Charybdis of results-averse ‘System’ managers. #NCFC

In an absolutely chilling turn of events, if Norwich do sack Manning later, Big Ange is now available… #NCFC #NFFC

Why should you have to ‘log in with a Microsoft account’? More strings attached…

Callum Hudson-Odoi: socks pulled up to his knees, shirt number seven with a popped collar… That’s how a football player should look. #NFFC

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

Thank goodness. That Pep stuff was choking the life out of the game. And fans of Championship clubs have spent years being forced to watch their team fumble to play this way with players who are objectively not good enough to do it, because the suits upstairs were demanding that from their coach.

Football's "end of history" moment

For 16 years, Guardiola's "positional" game was THE best practice in a homogenised sport

Now it's not

As everyone including Pep looks to individual magic, set pieces, counters, there's new uncertainty about what next

Pep Guardiola’s ideology is dead. So where does football go next?

After 15 years of dominance, Guardiola’s ideas of pressing and possession which gripped the game have unravelled, giving way to fast transitions and set-piece duels. Is this football’s ‘end of history...

My Windows 10 partition booted up and ran correctly yesterday, and still boots up and runs correctly today. I had assumed it would have exploded overnight.

Obviously this is a particular left-wing species of it, but I think this is a reflection of a very real Online trend found all over the political spectrum where people don't understand some aspect of the world and so assume their ignorance must reflect a conspiracy by The Powers That Be

At last! Now they've finally realised what AI is for, perhaps they'll stop trying to foist it on every other aspect of our lives

I know this is a bad thing in terms of the message it sends regarding obsolescence. But personally I like to encourage my computers to support themselves, rather than depending on hand-outs from Daddy Microsoft.

On International E-Waste Day, Microsoft decided to create more e-waste. They're decision to end free security updates for Windows 10 doesn’t just affect users—it pushes 400 million functional PCs toward early obsolescence.

Six conjoined dishwasher tablets. Six! What am I supposed to do with those?! You can’t separate them, as that will rip the membrane and make them useless.
