I gave a talk on connected transportation (ships, cars, planes, trains) a couple of years ago.

A lot of the audience had concerns and questions about the rise of Chinese made EVs and whether they could all be mass-disabled remotely.

I do hope governments are now factoring in not just China in their threat modelling for this scenario, but an unpredictable CEO of a car company with access to the backend systems.

Forked @flopp’s parkrun milestones code just to add some GitHub Actions that automatically build MacOS and Windows binaries.

(Getting Go environments setup just for this was painful for my contractually obligated run director @Polypompholyx)

They’ve bought radioactive crap again.

The tritium in the glass tube emits beta which causes the phosphor to glow.

The 11keV peak is not the beta (that is stopped by the glass) but is instead the Bremsstrahlung given off as the beta particles are deflected by protons in the walls.

The Radiacode is not very sensitive at low keV.

Met my MP today to press for #nonbinary legal recognition and #trans healthcare reform in the UK.

Explicitly raised @ryanc’s case.

Thanks to @transactualuk for their resources and workshops in helping me prepare.

It was only a matter of time before Sub Brit found itself on Have I Got News For You.

I used to be a member but found it all a bit cliquey and the ideological hatred of Urbex was a bit odd.

Still, for the most part of bunch of people with their hearts in the right place about preserving generally hidden history.

Update to the #nonbinary insurance saga:

  1. A different provider that did offer "Mx" was cheaper so I've switched.

  1. I complained and complained again to the Financial Ombudsman causing the insurer to spend time and effort dealing with that.

  1. I got £330 "compensation".

  1. I have now caused Direct Line to make a loss on insuring me all because of a single letter in their shitty IT.

Today in #nonbinary

I get an email about the car insurance renewal and see it's in my old name. Have to call up to get it changed, supply a copy of my deed poll, so far ok.

Ask them to update my title to Mx

"You can only choose from Mr/Ms/Mrs/Dr"

But I'm none of those I say

"In that case we're cancelling your policy as your legal name won't match our systems. And we'll charge you a cancellation fee."

Wait wait wait - YOU can't support MY title so now this is MY fault?

Asked them to raise it as a formal complaint which has paused the cancellation for 10 days.

GDPR right to rectification means what?
