iBoy — Review

24th July, 2018.

You know, there are plenty of things, I could be saying, right about now.

Really.

I’ve had the day off ill, today.

The guts have been playing up, again.

I swear, I will have to do something about that.

The possibility of implanting my personality into a younger body?

Has some appeal.

The fact I’m sitting here, sweating like an especially sweaty person, on a hot night in southeast England?

Is something else.

And, yes, I realise that’s not a pleasant image.

If it pleasant?

I’d rather you weren’t reading this, frankly.

There’s website’s for the sort of thing.

At any rate, I’m kind of grateful, at the moment.

That I’m the proud owner of an iMac.

One that, like any Mac, these days, lets me navigate around its interface … using assorted keyboard commands.

Hitting the Ctrl button and the Left and Right cursor buttons lets me navigate between the alternate desktops.

Cmd and Tab lets me switch between apps.

Is handy.

Especially when my mouse is recharging.

What CAN I tell you … ?

Apart from yes.

That is Kraftwerk playing in the background: Radio Activity, if you must know.

And, yes.   I’ve used my time to sit in front of the TV and watch a movie.

The 2017 Adam Randall Netflix piece that is … <>iBoy</>.

The things got some heavyweights in there …

The Daily Teaser — 3-3-2016

That’s some to … 

Well, not worry about: but certainly watch, I think.

Here in the UK, the Government’s trying to introduce what it calls the Investigatory Powers bill into law: allowing for greater surveillance of our internet use.

I’m concerned … mostly as a matter of politeness.

Seemingly?   Although the Home Secretary has strengthened the various privacy aspects of the law, so people’s privacy is better protected, it still forces ISPs to keep records of websites visits, and internet use.

Granted, there’s upsides in investigating criminal and terrorist cases.

But I really don’t like the idea.

I’d rather not have the government reading over my shoulder, thank you.

These powers allow them to.

I think … ?   I think they’d be open to abuse*.
