I ordered a replacement battery via eBay for a Dell Latitude D600 I have in my collection. It’d be hilarious to charge it up and lug it into Starbucks to sit there computing 2004 style with Windows XP! Apart from that, having a working battery meant that I could apply a BIOS update (from A13 to A16).

Looking forward to the new goodies that Apple will announce in a couple of days, I’d say the iPhone 17 and Apple Watch Series 11 are a shoe-in, but given I noticed on Amazon that the Belkin AirTag holders now say “Style Name: Old Model”, I’d say there is a new AirTag coming as well…

Friday night, I saw “Weapons” in the cinema, it’s swooped past “Sinners” and “Mickey 17” to become my favourite film of the year… I love a good “overlapping different characters POV all adding to an understanding of the bigger picture”-type film, plenty of classics use that approach. Thankfully the trailer only reveals a fraction of the story, and I won’t say any more as it is well-worth seeing without being spoiled!

Currently listening: Orlando Weeks - “Way To GO” - No offence to Peter Gabriel, but IMHO this works so well over the end credits of Wall-E.
