When I’m Governor of the Universe, my first port of call will be to make all cars have to have a neat first party retrofit solution for an external CTEK quick connector charge socket so you don’t have to open the bonnet to charge the 12V battery like this. #CTEK #E46

Yes you can get an extension lead and dangle it out the front grille but that’s a bit bobbins — hence the manufacturer should sort it. Type2/CCS charge ports are provided for [PH]EVs, so why not have a good solution for charging old skool petrol cars’ 12V lead acid batteries too?

Using crocodile clips to charge a 12V battery works obviously, but that’s so 2025. All the cool kids use CTEK comfort connectors. But a 20+ year old car doesn’t want constant unnecessary bonnet-openings. Won’t someone think of the release cable!!!

Still wondering if cords will ever make a comeback. #cords

On Jim’s Electronics THIS week: Nintendo Switch 2 After a long Switch-fix hiatus fancied seeing inside a 2. Loads of missing screws and came with the side panels stuck to the back. Seems ok though, so just charged it for an hour or so and VOILA. Works fine! Lol.

So you can’t seem to buy a set of Switch 2 screws yet. Many are different to the old switch, eg side rails. Also spotted a missing internal bracket piece. So probably need another broken Switch 2 to fix this one. And the endless fixing cycle begins again. 🤣

Ok so seems it’s pretty far from working. Went back to it today and it’s dead again. Has a big internal bracket missing too. Still, not being water damaged is always a big win!

No I’m not watching it I just saw a clip on here and so of course now want to binge the whole thing again. Also makes me want pizza quite a lot too not good when it’s only 10:12am.

Funny how courtroom drawings always look the same. Like there’s just this one dude who has to go to every trial with his crayons.

Wondering if AI can see optical illusions. Assume not, though it knows what people see and it could pretend to see them too. eg would AI ever really see a single pink dot moving here and fading green dots without being told?

I guess if you gave a humanoid robot eyes with the same persistence of vision properties and it evolved image processing that was the same it would. I do think one day the human brain will be fully simulated just like the fruit fly’s already has. Hi GLaDOS!

Did a lower case D in GLaDOS so had to delete/repost. Don’t want to miss out on the cake.

If AI finds a PHP vulnerability Shirley as long as nobody says what that vulnerability is it makes zero difference? My website is down because its SSL certificate has been revoked. Whatever that means. Maybe I could ask the BBC’s cyber expert.

Note I know what it means but for some reason 123-reg’s website is so unbelievably painful to use it keeps giving errors trying to install a new one so I just exited the room and left the crystal.
