There are few things more depressing than having to deal with companies like Accenture, EY, KPMG etc. It's a world of FUD, upsell, more consultants, nothing getting done, lots of s…

I do love a good pint of Guinness. There's something very satisfying about how it looks; the more pronounced flavor than other globally available macro beers, and how it seems easi…

Yes, it's very interesting that a concept that is now so widely used in general statistics was first used in a brewery. It helps that Guinness is still the best globally available …

If it had the ability to block videos that have that stupid mouth open and shocked expression of the presenter in the preview tile then I’d be sold.

I haven't been to Boston in 15 years, but I remember it having two very distinct accents when I was there. There was the very Bostonian Irish accent with rolling R and very soft H.…

Pascal was still the language being taught to first year students in the university I attended in the late 90's. Our "multimedia" professor was very in to Javascript, but assured u…

I hate to be such an immediate Buzz Killington, but this is not a good business idea.

It's just not a very enjoyable experience these days.

With the same skepticism you should treat any technology that has lots of VC investment, sounds cool, has concepts that people initially don't understand, and will attract every so…

Did your 2017 ICO not work out? Were you a little late to the NFT party? Now is your opportunity to get involved in the extremely profitable world of AI!

Early 2000s message boards were so much fun. vBulletin, hilariously awful moderation, arguments over signature sizes, cliques, random outages, people who had just got DSL posting i…

That's a good question, and I cannot really give you a coherent answer tbh. I just find Windows to feel more modern. I suppose a few examples are: Snap/Windows Management in macOS …

I'd like that. I'm a big fan of the whole design and build of the Macbook Pro, but macOS is starting to feel very dated.

Social media is dead. It was never social. If I had ads to sell, then I wouldn't be looking to spend the budget on deserts like Facebook and Twitter.

I'm always enormously impressed with efforts to move the dial when it comes to RTE, but slightly depressed when you see that it involves Facebook/Meta.

I'm based in Ireland, and travel regularly to both Britain and California with work. I've always been shocked with the poverty and sense of systemic decline I witness in San Fran. …

Brain power on a ledger? I've heard it all now. The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien: “Your talk," I said, "is surely the handiwork of wisdom because not one word of it do I unders…

I doubt it. HODL is a mantra used by crypto grifters to ensure they can liquidate into filthy dollars or euros without having bagholders panic and depress the price.

A crypto grifter getting rich and leaving a load of retail "investors" holding the bag when it all collapses? This surely hasn't happened before?

Just when you think that NFTs represent the worst of late-stage capitalism; you are reminded that defi is still a thing.

The History of Rome was the very first podcast I can remember listening to on a weekly basis. It was the era when the Nokia N95 was very much the flagship almost smartphone, and I …

Some caveats. You won't be able to use your primary main_user@formerlyhostedbygoodle.com address as your login to the Office365 suite. You'll have to manage each inbox separately (…

It certainly showed in the hot buggy mess that was AC Valhalla.

I love this sort of home-brew computing. There's so much to be pessimistic about when it comes to the beast we've unleashed, but hackers mucking around with a Raspberry PI isn't on…
