Have you got the thing where your Apple Watch battery suddenly drains after updating phone to iOS 17.4.1? This fixed it for me: go to watch settings > App Store and turn off Automatic Updates. You can do this via the phone or the watch. Hope it helps.

NFTs. Why they are probably a lot more useful and relevant than you might think. Great new piece by Rosie from @RedeyeNetwork. Never thought I would see and *understand* a headline like “So why are most NFTs still sold using proof of work blockchains?” redeye.org.uk/opinion/nfts-w…

not sure about the optics of Johnson and Sunak using the “daily test pilot scheme” to carry on going to the office rather than setting a self-isolation example to everyone else

Ok, last camembert update today (V1.5): better resolution and I re-ordered the slices to have delicious metaphors on the right and literal descriptions on the left (with some ambiguous ones at the bottom). A few fun additions: Pi chart in Irish and Disc Graph in Icelandic.

This looks like an amazing job, working with @Abi_Gilmore researching creative industries and cultural policy in Greater Manchester - might suit my @WhatNextCulture colleagues. Deadline Monday!
JOB REMINDER!! If creative economies, cultural policies and the local are your thing look below ⬇️ DL 8 Feb. Counting down the days to look at who has applied 😌

If you need distracting, I recommend the audiobook version of “Agent Running in the Field,“ not least because it’s read by John Le Carré himself in his wonderful rich voice.

Attempting a MailMerge in Microsoft Office is a delightful throwback to software of the last century when you had to press 25 mostly hidden buttons in exactly the right order, or nothing happened…
