- Can you vibe code something while watching a 45 minute half of footy? Absolutely. Had an idea for a tool to help me write documents with AI, pulled out the laptop, fired up @bolt.new and have a fully working application. Nice.
- Love me the smell of cherry foam in the morning... How much of a mood booster is a bit of sun! Brain still churning on AI... 🤣
- Just finished Shrinking on Apple TV. Wow, best thing I've seen in a long time.
- Trying out the new Windsurf update. Was curious to see if it could create Garmin watchfaces. It can! 😀
- Honor Magic7 Pro in the house. What a machine, looking forward to putting this through it's paces over the coming weeks, with it's Snapdragon X Elite and flagship camera! 👍
- Visiting Microsoft today, so it only seems right to wear the watch Bill Gates wears! 😀 twobrokewatchsnobs.com/watches-in-the-wild…
- DJI Neo for £119 at Currys? What a bargain! (code NEO50 for £50 off RRP)
- I've been a huge fan of Curve (the card that virtualises and adds features to all your cards) for years, and it keeps getting better! You can now sign up for free and when you start using it, we both get £50. Can't argue with that this time of year! 👍 curve.com/join#TBXZH
- Sub £50 Bliger. Surprisingly good quality!
- It's mulled wine and Xiaomi smart kettle season 🍷
- Weird link up, but OK? 🤷♂️
- Anyone picked up a Black Friday bargain? Not sure I've spotted anything amazing yet!
- Prevailing (hater) wisdom is that winter is a terrible time to own an EV, due to range loss. Au contraire, winter is the BEST time to own an EV. Don't underestimate how nice it is being able to remotely preheat and defrost the car, so good!
- My only 11.11 AliExpress purchase. Cracking watch for £50!
- Updated my handle. Cool. 😀
- Nice early trip to London today for a breakfast meeting on the 40th floor. Hmm... 🤣
- Openvibe client is pretty cool isn't it! Bluesky and Threads simultaneous posting (and Mastodon too if you're using it). Not perfect, but it has a lot of potential! play.google.com/store/apps/details?…
- Perplexity sent me this link for 1 month free Pro, usable 3 times! My consumer AI of choice at the moment. pplx.ai?discount_cod...
- Hello everyone! Is this like the old days? 😀
