Today I discovered, Betteridge’s law of headlines.: any headline that ends in a questionmark can be answered by the word no. I had noticed this myself and used it to avoid clickbait but there’s a name for it.

Dalgona coffee. This has poped up on my social feeds a few times recently. Has anyone tried one? What did you think?

Me: “If I leave a note saying this section is for quotes and use a really obvious placeholder quote, the developers won’t put my placeholder in, they’ll put in the quotes we have on system.” Developers: “so here I need to write ‘this is a quote, replace with real quote” - FIRSTNAME LASTNAME.’ Job done."

Iā€™m on an enterprise website doing some research. Iā€™m pressing on the filter buttons and it literally takes between a minute and two to respond to every interaction! (The company boasts about the speed of its tech).

One of the best decisions I made in following tech stuff is to just not care about rumours. Well, try not to care. It’s amazing how correct some of them can be but honestly it makes no difference if I speculate for months about what a new iPad with a trackpad might be and it’s really nice to wake up and see something you didn’t know was coming. If you like and enjoy all the speculation around tech rumours then I’m happy for you but increasingly I want to use tech to do stuff and not think about how great something might be, one day.

I wonder how often the average iPad pro user will touch the screen after these new keyboards? Some users currently don’t seem to touch their screen at all so this will surely accelerate it for them.

There are certain podcasters who I occasionally think of sending a tweet to… then I think about how they seem to assume the worst intention of every message someone sends (unless it’s obvious praise)… so I don’t really send messages to podcasters anymore.

… I want the new iPad …I probably can’t afford the new iPad… šŸ˜¢
