  1. I think you need to look at it from another (Her Majesty's) angle. "Good, I've outlasted that [insert relevant Jonathan Pie adjectives] Boris Johnson as Prime Minister. My work here is done." Job Done, 'Liz.
  2. And as for the Apple iPhone 14 ... Linus does have some good, albeit sarcastic, points. For example, the loss of the physical sim tray, in the NA versions. Can you say carriers? (@ 4:25) or wait for the EU mandated USB C port in the iPhone 15 (unless they go portless and wireless charging only). And as for the satellite emergency contact, as an El Reg commentard said "As for the phones, God help emergency services now natural selection will no longer apply to the dumb ones. Yes, It's perfectly OK that it offers assistance in places where a normal phone would no longer work, but we know the moronic majority will see this as an excuse to get themselves into even more trouble."
  3. It's chonky, It's a Big Boi, It's the Apple Watch Ultra. https://www.theverge.com/23324010/apple-watch-series-8-se-ultra-hands-on-features-apple-event
  4. And now it's official https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-61585886 Obituary: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-61605149 R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II The Queen is dead. Long Live The King.
  5. "An 86-decibel siren is designed for emergencies, should users become lost or injured, and can help draw attention to a location. The unique sound signature incorporates two distinct alternating patterns, which can repeat for up to several hours. The first pattern suggests distress, while the second mimics the universally recognized SOS pattern"
  6. No Apple Watch Ultra? What kind of aspiring Mountain Climber / Wilderness trekker / Scuba diver are you? Waiting for the app that alerts you when you arrive at a vineyard? To quote the Verge "Can't wait to buy the Watch Ultra and use it while I sit on the couch and it silently judges me."
  7. https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/7/23339616/apple-iphone-14-event-live-blog-updates-news but Tim Apple, and the others from California aren't melting or being subject to rolling blackouts, so it must be fake (product) news ...
  8. Sorry for your loss Steve. Way too young, indeed. #FuckCancer.
  9. Niether. "The vessels have displacement of approximately 65,000 tonnes (64,000 long tons; 72,000 short tons)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth-class_aircraft_carrier Shoddy Journalism. so 65,000 (Metric) Tonnes or 65,000 Mg (megagrams) or 65 kt (kilotonnes) or 65 Gg (gigagrams) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonne or ~ 10235748 st (stones) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_units#Mass_and_weight
