Well, that's interesting, and potentially useful.

If you need to use Google search (I mostly do not but this may change).

Add: &udm=14
to the end of the search string in the URL and it will force Web mode.

My limited testing this morning shows the results as being similar to say 2019 era results (but with up to date content). But better, because No ads, no sponsored results, and the results provided seem to be actual websites relevant to the search.

Dunno how long this state of affairs will last, but use while you can :)

If you happen to be using Vivaldi, you can add a new search engine in settings -> search. Give it a name and use the url: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14

(the %s is a placeholder for the search string you type in the search box).

Munching on toast covered in Speculaas spread, “I’ve had this for a while, I wonder how old it is”

“Exp: 2nd July 2021”

Goes back to munching.

Expiry date in very poor contrast on the lid, reading Exp: 02-07-2021

TIL Italy has a new supercomputer dedicated to studying climate change, and they’ve called it Cassandra.

Somewhat appropriate really, given how Govt’s of the world have steadfastly been ignoring climate change for decades.
