Weeknote, Sunday 4th May

  • I despair at the state of politics in the UK. Seeing Reform and Farage being so successful in the last week and being given no real challenge from much of the media is a kick in the balls. What is clear is the two party system in the UK is finished. With it should also go first past the post. Labour also need to wake up. Tacking to the right, trying to match Reform, is not what the majority of Labour voters want or expect and mistakes like Winter Fuel need to be reversed.
  • Apple lost another court case which should see the App Store open up. Always been ridiculous that a developer can’t even put a link in a description to a website, often argued that it would be too dangerous to allow. I like my Apple devices but seeing the company making arguments to retain control and extract coin from everyone has went on too long.
  • Ordered Zen Full Fibre which should deliver 2Gbps up and down. Install in a couple of weeks time…and now looking at what other bits of the home network I’ll need to upgrade to make full use of the speed.
  • Miami Grand Prix was excellent. Season so far has been fantastic with a real closing of the field, exactly what many thought would happen in the last year of the current regs. Impressed with Piastri. And great to see Williams back in the top 10.
  • No surprise that GTA VI is delayed until May 26. The last few were all delayed 6-12 months from original release date. Get it right – we’ll be playing it for years anyway.
  • Split Fiction still impressing – highly recommend playing with a friend as the gameplay has kept fresh throughout.
  • Finished Daredevil Born Again – really good, set up nicely for another season
  • Watched the first three episodes of Andor season 2. Great to be be back in a more adult Star Wars universe. Looking forward to a rewatch of Rogue One at the end of the season.
