Dark Matter S1. ⭐️⭐️
TV show 2024
Watched May 8, 2024

It was just as well I had no expectations going into Apple TV’s latest SciFi show, Dark Matter, otherwise I might have given this one star not two. As it turns out this one felt a tad trite and cliched, picking over the bones of oh so many other shows that have gone before it and, recycling one too many over-used tropes (Schrödinger’s cat anyone?)

And, with a music score that ... https://alexink.micro.blog/2024/05/09/dark-matter-s.html

@alexandra I'm sticking with at least one more episode because I think Jennifer Connelly's acting is so good in it.

A Pigeon Took These Photographs

'A photographer with a fascination for pigeons has attached small cameras to the birds so they can take photos'

Strictly for the birds. And the photo of the highway intersection looks like a soaring bird.

I decided to treat myself by buying a new satnav for the car. My car doesn't have a satnav built-in, which with hindsight is a good thing.

The new model is a Garmin DriveSmart 76. My main reason for upgrading was to get lifetime map updates, which are installed via WiFi, directly onto the satnav (no PC needed). For me this is a major benefit, as otherwise map updates require a Garmin app running on Mac or Windows. The new unit will replace a Garmin Nuvi 65 LM.

@fitheach You've got me thinking about an upgrade. I have to plug my Nuvi in to upgrade software and maps, and it's hit or miss whether the Garmin Express software actually recognises that it's plugged in.

@fitheach Sounds good. But update via WiFi is excellent.

Unpatchable security flaw in Apple Silicon Macs breaks encryption

The flaw is present in M1, M2, and M3 chips, and because the failing is part of the architecture of the chips, there’s no way for Apple to fix it in current devices …'
