    There is gold in them thar keyboards

    Meta paid $14.3 billion for a stake in Alexandr Wang's Scale. Meta has poached a guy from Apple who told them he can do AI, by paying him $200 million to change desks. Ilya Sutskever's company is valued at $32 billion and Mira Murati's Thinking Machines is valued at $10 billion. Neither has a...

    Limitless Intrusion, or Limitless Benefit?

    Limitless.ai/#pendant Being a bit of a luddite I see this as a definite and unnecessary intrusion of privacy. But some deluded souls have spent $33M and counting in getting it to market. (Needless to say I'll not be shellin' out $300 on one.......plus the 33% 125% 145% tariff of course)

    Helpful Language Comparisons (maybe)

    I came across this the other day from another Forum. It is written by Eric Lendvai and I thought some may find it interesting? Eric clearly has little, if any experience of Access, as it isn't mentioned. But you will be able to add your own pros & cons on Access anyway. I have posted it...

    Food for thought and maybe not for eating?

    From 1960 to 1975 food companies started to develop recipes to increase sales and created Ultra Processed Foods (UPFs) as a result. Unbelievably tobacco companies had for many years experimented in adding additional substances to tobacco to increase addiction levels and sales. As if just the...

    CAPTCHA & Friends

    In the last fortnight has anyone noticed an increase in the number of sites now requiring your permission, or in reality. Their permission for you to access their website and allow them to trawl your computer for whatever they take a fancy to? A few sites now will simply not load unless I...

    Am I the only one that switches ABBA off?

    Whist I was driving back from a walk on the hill, ABBA came on the car radio. I got to thinking if I was the only one who was sick and tired of hearing their near identical 50 year old tedium. Hardly a day goes by without what has become ABBA's repetitious banality from the DJs and track...

    Amend Format Settings on Form’s Property Sheet

    Whilst I can change position, size, colours and just about any setting to objects on a form using VBA. They aren’t permanently saved into the Property Sheet pages in the Access IDE. Is there a method of permanently saving changes made using VBA to settings like TextAlign, Width, Left, FontName...

    Add, Edit, or Delete a Function() using VBA

    Is there a way of adding, editing, or deleting one or more Functions to a Form, or a Module in an Access FE using VBA? The deleting a selected Function would be by name using VBA from a Form or Module. Preferably using an external program, or another Access database. If not, then making those...

    You Couldn't Make It Up

    The CROWDSTRIKE issue started in jokes, which was maybe not the best place. I just wonder how much of that was written by AI and if there is too much automatic reliance on its superiority. Why was it not more thoroughly tested? Another concern to me would be the issue that Gasman brought up...

    Is there a Plan?

    As we all know the so called global warming is not caused by motor vehicles. The changing patterns on the in the Sun and natural climate changes over time are ignored. As is the effect of the internet and satellites. We are now producing more goods than at any time in the past. China has...

    Coming to a Country Near You

    Coming to a country near you, a digital ID. The digital ID concept was originally formulated and exported from Davos, Switzerland. It forms the key component of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) vision for the ‘fourth industrial revolution’ and their stated transhumanistic objectives. They...

    Stay Safe Out There

    Take care before scanning QR codes. Apparently on some car parking sites the QR codes for the car park company are being covered over with another that will take your details and extract hundreds, or an amount that they expect to be paid. So they think that they've paid £5 to park but when...

    Is it Actually Racist?

    Apparently some guy has jumped on the Royal bandwaggon with a book on the Royal Family. Although what experience and qualifications he has to do this appears flimsy at best. He's apparently referred to as Megan's mouthpiece in the media. I don't know his name and don't have any interest in...

    Presume This is a Scam

    I presume that this full screen that popped up on a not often used laptop is a scam? After closing the screen I went to Security Updates in Windows and installed an update. So as expected the message was wrong

    Notepad Updated

    Microsoft have updated Notepad in Windows11 and it is now a real pain to use. What was wrong with the way it worked before? Another example of an improvement that is a retrograde step for no purpose.
