Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13th November 2025.

13th November, 2025.


Yep: I’ve got Radio Four’s Today programme on.

And, yes, the show’s reporting an interesting historical note.

According to an upcoming programme on Channel Four, DNA testing has been what’s left of Adolf Hitler.

Apparently, he had a condition that meant he was more likely to have various neurological conditions.

And an undescended testicle.

If true?

It means we can start singing Colonel Bogey … …

Apple — the computer company — seems to generate rumours.

One of the latest?

Is that it’s supposed to be releasing a low end, budget, MacBook: with an A-series system-on-a-chip.

I wouldn’t expect to be able to afford such a thing: even if it is Apple’s budget option.

But … ?

A body can dream.

After all, it would be nice to own a mobile Mac … and be an improvement on the iPhone sock … 

~≈🍎≈~

As a last thought … ?

There’s a magazine called MacWorld doing the round: it’s been available for many years.

And … ?

One of their infomercial pieces floated across my timeline, a couple of days ago.

Apparently?

You can, with their help, get a dollar-denominated copy of Microsoft Office at just under sixty dollars ($60).

About forty-five pounds (£45), in real money.

Personally?

I’d be turning that down, even if I had the cash.

There’s more than enough free software around, software that opens MS Office files, to make spending the money a stupid move.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 13th November 2022.

13th November, 2022.


Yep: it’s a Sunday,

Remembrance Sunday, if we’re counting.

Frankly?

I’m expecting it to be quiet: bar, maybe, putting the Remembrance Day service on.

It is, after all, the King’s first time — as King — to lay a wreathe.

We’ll have to see.

Just so you know … ?

I’ve done another written, and video, review.   Of another episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds: the episode called The Elysian Kingdom.


It’s rather good.

Even if the way Celia Rose Gooding draped all over a throne had me thinking about Tim Curry!

News … news, news, news, news, news!

You keep an eye on it, don’t you?

You’ll probably, then, that Twitter has recently been bought by multi millionaire, Elon Musk.

And that he’s proposed starting charging for the blue tick: the blue tick that shows a user is who they say they are.

I think we can say one thing.

The payment scheme has back fired.

As various scammers have flocked to the site: pretending to be genuine accounts.

It’s lead to suspension of various fake accounts.

And the halting of the blue tick subscription scheme.

I have to ask: who wants to find Elon, and say ‘I told you so’ … ?
