Yes: it’s officially the case.
It’s raining out: as you’ve possibly guessed, watching today’s intro video.
Which is awkward.
I was thinking of heading to Romford, today!
It’s possibly not the weather for it!

I’m something of a technology watcher: although I don’t talk about it as often as I’d like to.
I’m not exactly Linus Sebastian, after all.
But … ?
I do keep an eye on Apple.
So the news Apple’s announced that— in upcoming versions of iOS — they will be scanning your phone for child abuse images, before those uploaded to Apple’s iCloud back up service? And reporting user with such content to the relevant police force?
Is something I took notice of.
Apple can champion its safeguarding effects, whilst keeping illegal content off its servers*.
The problem, of course?
Is people are complaining.
Frankly?
I’m not surprised.
But, as I’ve said in a footnote*, I believe Apple have made this move to avoid getting sued for having child abuse images on their iCloud servers.
Assuming I’m correct?
I’m wondering if the complainers have realised that?
