WM Police chief Craig Guildford has apologised for identifying a fictitious West Ham v Maccabi Tel Aviv match in a police report. He’s written to the home affairs committee and blames Microsoft CoPilot for the error

SQL Server 2025 has been out for over a year now but the official SQL Server pages are still rocking like it's 2024?!

I would say: The Stranglers' No More Heroes, David Bowie's Heroes, or Modern World by The Jam ... but they were more likely my older brother and sister's choices. I would have, aged 7, probably gone for Daddy Cool by Darts!

I think there's a difference between being the "oh, you know, the guy who was in Ted Lasso" to being "Nick Mohammed"

What does it say if you know the first one and the third one, but don't know what Eastenders has got to do with it?

I've been blaming memes for this, and I think it fits. A lot of the angriest people out there aren't actually consuming news, they're consuming news-flavored content, and the content is a funhouse mirror version of reality that they're mistaking for being real.

Indeed careless that they outsourced to Tata Consultancy Services and laid off their existing IT staff much like Marks and Spencer, the Co-Op.

AI in search engines is the equivalent of a mate on your quiz team who thinks he knows the answer but isn't sure.

Loved it, but the dialogue - to my quaint little British ears - is very hard to follow sometimes!

It's "addictive", not "addicting".

Zelensky's finest achievement to date may be in not lamping these cunts

The suit exchange should go down in history showing how brilliantly sharp and funny Zelensky is and how he put Vance down (all in his second language).

Vance: Why don’t you wear a suit? You never wear a suit.

Zelensky: When the war is over I’ll wear one. Maybe one like yours or maybe a better one.

Horizon IT scandal: repeating patterns There is so much that has been written and said about the Horizon scandal over the past 10 years, that it’s hard to pick out what actually happened, and how it got so bad. When things go really badly ...

Enjoyed this article by @daivaughan.uk regarding IT scandals. Hadn't heard about the glucose meter one at a UK hospital where 70 (!) nurses were *assumed* to be faking the glucose readings, rather than it actually being staff training/sloppy data management/IT issue dafyddvaughan.uk/blog/2024/ho...

Yes, very much so. My son got into cycling during COVID, he enters himself into a race when lockdown restrictions lift. We turn up, I go off to pay for parking or something, I come back, he's joking around with these lads like old mates. Later "So, where do you know Huw and Spike from?" Instagram…

It’s incredible really how Musk threw away a truly enviable public image. Five years ago if you had heard of him at all you probably thought of him as super rich but also successful, probably clever, innovative, maybe interesting. Now you know much more about him and think he’s a stupid dickhead.
