Marmite is British, Vegemite is Australian.

(Apparently, there’s a New Zealand version of Marmite too. Every day is a school day)

Copilot+ PCs are a new class of Windows 11 AI PCs that are powered by a turbocharged neural processing unit (NPU) – a specialised computer chip for AI-intensive processes like real-time translations and image generation – that can perform more than 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS).

I’ve come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

I went to a site recently where the padlock code was 58008.

Thanks. I don’t know a great deal about Girl Guiding’s programme in the UK, but I understand that there’s a similar distinction between it and the Scout Association’s programme as there is in the US.

In the UK, The Scout Association went fully co-ed in 2007 and Girl Guiding remains a girls-only organisation. Both are doing just fine.

I hear you’re a racist now Father Elon.
