A QR code by itself is completely unreadable to a human. Can't this have the SSID / password too? All too often you see what should be simple textual data wrapped in this obtuse fo…

I listened to a podcast which mentioned a relatively obscure topic in passing using the basic samsung music app on my phone which didn't have a SIM card in, location turned on or a…

Is having the virus without symptoms really a case? The Coronavirus act says so. However, there's only tenuous evidence of asymptomatic and presymptiomatic transmission of the viru…

I've been using exactly the same approach for spinning up local COVID-19 support groups around London, one nice example is at https://holloway.coronacorps.com/ . Really like the br…
