It's impossible to understand Johnny Ives and Apple without knowing Dieter Rams work for Braun – at Hammersmith, London
I’m old enough to remember when this would have been huge news! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2w…

If you’re an Irish journalist watching this, maybe try and remember back to the time when you decided to be a journalist.. and why.
Minister Patrick O’Donovan can behave like this with zero fear of consequence or calling to account. Because you allow him to. It’s Ben Scallon today but it could be any of you tomorrow if you allow this abuse of position to go unchecked.
An interesting post on Smart TV hardware. I’d love to hear a contrary opinion?
A guy was ready to drop $1,500 on a new OLED TV because his 3-year-old Smart TV was freezing up and took 5 seconds just to respond to the remote.
He unplugged it. Deleted old apps. Cleared the cache. The lag kept coming back.
He went to Best Buy to get a replacement.
The home theater installer in the blue shirt stopped him: "Before you spend a grand, let me show you something."
He grabbed a remote and shook his head.
"There are 8 hidden tracking settings throttling your TV's processor right now. Manufacturers turn them all on by default. Nobody tells you they exist. Let's fix this."
Here's what he showed him in the next 8 minutes. 🧵

They do know that Youtube is available on the TV do they? You know…a ‘shared device’?
Keir Starmer will introduce nightly social media curfews for 16 and 17 year-olds.
Candice Holdsworth is against it: "It's the job of parents, not the state."

Has the Government considered that almost 50% of Youtube viewing is on a TV - shared device (often set up with a parents log-in).

Am in Dublin with my Mum in hospital, she has RTE on all the time..
All I hear is about Israel. I had not realised the level of obsession, radicalising the whole population. Are they being funded by Qatar.
It is truly sickening.
David Hockney gone! What a loss. I remember being stunned at his iPad art that was so amazingly early in the tablet revolution. I was scrabbling round trying to work out what software he was using.
As far as I know @TAM_Ireland (who measure and report TV audience numbers in Ireland) don’t measure/report viewing of the UK channels that are available there. So we won’t know how many people in Ireland decide to watch Eurovision on the BBC.
This is disgraceful by Sky News.
.@SkyNews editors refuse to issue an on-air apology over Yalda Hakim's erroneous Lebanon death toll claim - or remove the social media posts which are spreading the lie. camera-uk.org/2026/04/19/zer…
A good time to retweet this:
I genuinely think I might I might cry. We are listening to the legend that is science broadcaster James Burke talking through the making of his iconic TV coverage of the Apollo space programme. #DTGSummit
This is the original BBC footage that we were re-watching with the man himself:
Is this the best timed TV sequence ever?
James Burke covering live the Apollo 11 mission for the BBC in 1969.

Its fair to ask @rts_media, what the bloody hell are you doing here?
Hi @RTS_media Just a heads up. Here’s nominee Jordan Gray having a friendly chat with Stephen Ireland, a convicted paedophile about getting access to children. h/t @Jonnywsbell
In 2016 @TAM_Ireland asked me what TV would be like in 2020. You be the judge of how well I did:
