As a long-time listener of The Bunker podcast, it was really fun to be a guest, chatting with historian Alex von Tunzelmann about 50 years of Apple. https://linktr.ee/bunker_pod

Switching beween iPhones and I noticed on iOS 26, the App Store is currently returning two adverts in every search, with the pattern ad / not ad / ad / everything else. My device on iOS 18 remains at one ad and then everything else. Has iOS 26 been like this from the start and I’ve just not noticed?
As expected, lots of folks in the UK are bellyaching about the clocks changing. So here’s another view. It’s been gloomy today but I was feeling buoyed by it still being light after dinner. I’m looking forward to playing football with my kid in the street in the days to come. And I’m happy sunrise will now be a bit later, shifting from 05:48 to 06:45. (Without BST, it’d rise before 4am in the summer. Just nope. Nope nope nope.)
