I feel like they've been threatening to add AI to Firefox for a while now and still nothing has materialised (that I've noticed). As long as it can be disabled, I don't mind that much.

 

Although Campbell is right to point out that markets do play a significant role in government spending, Polanski is on to something deeper that could help reframe the debate around the UK economy. While Rachel Reeves might be celebrated for scrapping the two-child benefit cap, the latest budget doesn’t go nearly far enough in delivering the change that Britain desperately needs. Austerity has scarred the UK for the last 14 years. If it wants to finally break free, then it’s time for a radical new approach. And that starts with rethinking how government finances work.

They (ONS) define disposable income as "the amount of money households have available for spending and saving after direct taxes have been accounted for. It includes earnings from employment, private pensions and investments, as well as cash benefits provided by the state", so not exactly post-tax income, but £36.7k corresponds to about £48k gross. I completely agree that a couple earning min. wage should not be classed as high income in the UK, but I usually overestimate how much income a typical Brit actually has.

Median post-tax houshold income is £36.7k. Suggesting the amount of people in a high-income houshold is about half, which is still a lot, but not as much as I thought.

I didn't notice anything on feddit.uk

Finished Nier Automata. Really loved it. I think it's one of those games that still isn't compatible with Switch 2. I don't have a Switch 2 (yet, maybe for xmas), but surely it will get fixed eventually?

I used to use this all the time on the old google keyboards (as well as swipe up to capitalise), but I think I've become used to press-to-hold that I'm not sure I'll use it any more. I've turned it on for now, though.

I was personally planning to vote Green, but I'll make a firm decision much closer to the time. I don't imagine my constituency will have much visible support for Reform, but I also wouldn't be surprised if we end up electing at least on MS under the new system.

[–] ladel@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's worrying and a bit surprising to see the rise in popularity of Reform in Wales in the polls, but I'm still believing/hoping right now that they wouldn't be able to form an absolute majority with an alliance, and so won't be able to do much damage.

What do you think of the new voting system and the new number of MSs?

ToG has been on hiatus for a while. I had no idea this had started up (presumably ToG proper will be on hiatus while this is running?).

 

I don't have a Switch 2 yet, but I wanted to upgrade my screen and would like it to be future-proof for a Switch 2 when I inevitably get one.

According to the specs, docked output can be HDR and it can do 120Hz @ 1080p and 1440p and 4K60. Output at best uses either HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 (it's ambiguous).

Has anyone who's got an HDR-capable monitor comment on whether the HDR is noticeable from what you've seen so far and if HDR gets output regardless of refresh rate? There's a 1440p monitor in my budget that is HDR400 certified that goes up to 120Hz and beyond, but I've also read that the max refresh rate the monitor can handle a 10-bit signal at is 60Hz (not sure if beyond that it does 8-bit + FRC or just doesn't support HDR). I'm not sure if this is perhaps overkill for a Switch 2 or whether I still have scope for a monitor that will make better use of the S2's output.

Who would've thought that with the money pumped into a few top Saudi clubs and hosting all the games from the QFs onwards in Saudi, that Saudi clubs would dominate?

Well done to Kawasaki, though. I doubt they'll go any further.

There's something cool about getting a Japanese card, isn't there?

 

PSA there's a big sale on the eshop until April 27. Quite a few first-party titles with a 33% discount and others with bigger discounts. I picked up Portal 1 & 2 for about £3, it really is good.

I also discovered https://www.dekudeals.com/ recently - it tracks prices over time so you can see how good the current discount is and physical/digital from different retailers.

 

Annoyed that I got a duplicate, but I didn't know these missions existed. I wonder if there are secret missions where you have to get two of the other shiny ex cards?
