The last episodes of The Crown were absolute garbage. It’s so bad that you notice the music and how dramatic it is for absolutely no drama on screen. I’m surprised the actors were willing to go along with it. The only good part was where the Queen does standup near the end of the last episode. Something like 80 hours of TV behind them, and all of a sudden this stoic character, with no sense of humor whatsoever, who can’t even cry, is bringing down the house. Oh please. I had to stick around to see how bad it can get, now you don’t. If I had to give it a rating it would be Oh The Humanity.

The FDISK program creates and manages partitions on a hard drive. FreeDOS FDISK recently had two new maintenance releases that fixed several bugs. 1.3.10 increased compatibility with some older quirky IDE controllers and added an Italian translation. Version 1.3.11 fixed a bug where FDISK was not writing the partition table of the 8th disk. You can download the new versions from the FDISK repository on GitHub or more directly from the releases page.

Picked
a movie,
The
Last Duel, more or less at random, based largely on
who
was in it, and the fact that the
NYT
gave it a critic’s pick rating. It was good. But this isn’t a movie
review, it’s a review of the user interface for choosing movies on
streaming services. Why can’t we integrate a site like
Metacritic with Hulu, Netflix,
Amazon, Max, AppleTV, et al. Just let me know what Metacritic says, and
make it clickable, so I can see what the individual pubs had to say if I
want more info. Don’t make me look it up. People joke about how we spend
our time scrolling around not watching anything. But it’s true, I do it.
Most of them are not worth the time, I suspect. But when you find one
that’s good, almost at random and even so had to do a lot of work to
determine if it was worth a chance, and this has been going on for a
decade, why doesn’t one of these services just buy Metacritic and
integrate it and make your users sing your praises everywhere online.
How much could Metacritic cost? (They seem to be in trouble, a lot of
the links generated by their CMS are broken.)

Spotted in the skies above Derbyshire a couple of weeks ago. First thing in the morning, perhaps after a good strong coffee… Later in the day, in those same skies… Phew, Bob – that was a bit close!…

‘Why are there hippos on the beach?’ I asked the lifeguard. He looked like an older Tadzio from Death in Venice, clad in striped concentration-camp pyjamas, conscious of his beauty. He answered my question with a question. ‘You’ve heard of liposuction?’
