I purchased a very silly purple suit for the extremely few occasions I need to be fancy.
And a black session jacket for when I need to be formal.

Book Review: Katabasis by R. F. Kuang I'm a fan of R.F. Kuang's books - but this is the first which I've found laugh-out-loud funny. What if your University advisor died and the only way to graduate was to descend into hell and bring him back? In a terrible sort of way, I'm glad that Kuang had such a miserable time at University. Being able to mine that psychotrauma has led to the brilliant Babel and now the excellent Katabasis.…

I think you can use the pattern attribute to force it not to accept the negative (if that's what you're trying to do).

Okay software folks.

With inputmode=numeric, Samsung devices pop a decimal pad with a negative sign. Other browsers pop a number pad without a decimal.

How many hours do you need to work to afford a pint of beer? I dropped into a pub in central London and ordered two pints of draught beer. Obviously the price of everything is nuts these days - and doubly so in London - so I only winced a little bit when the cost came to about twelve quid. Shocking, obviously. But as we supped on our pints and discussed the state of the world, I tried to remember how expensive it was to have a pint when I was a lad young…

Cover of Get Ahead of Being Dead, Your Handy Planner for the End of Life by Evie King. Red flowers surround the text, living at the top, wilting in the middle, dying at the bottom. Quote from Richard Herring at top. Don't buy this book if you're already dead, it's too late.

Game Review: Unravel Two My new year's resolution is to play more video games. Specifically co-operative games. I hate playing competitively; it's rubbish to achieve victory at the expense of someone else. So I asked for recommendations and picked the cheapest thing that looked reasonable. Unravel Two is a little gem! It's a 2D platform puzzler dressed up in a 3D engine. You and your friend play little string…

When you connect your phone, it should pop up something asking if you want the phone to control the connection, or the connected device.

If not, the car isn't outputting anything useful on USB.

A long shot - as it has USB OTG (for the keyboard) you *might* be able to use a USB-A to -C cable. One end in car and the other in your phone / laptop. If your device can control the connection it might show the car's filesystem.

It works on non-car Androids, but I've never done it on a vehicle.

The sprog and I are coming to the end of a rewatch, well, a rewatch for me. We’re halfway through season XII and interestingly one of the characters in the episode we literally just watched was wearing a costume from Spaced.

I've just sent 700 words to the CMA explaining why I think these proposals are inadequate.
