Tweeting about semiconductors & wireless technology (5G and Open RAN), London pubs and current issues. President of Picocom, but views expressed are my own.

I'm saying this as I will soon delete my Twitter account, so if any of my 1700-odd followers want to keep in touch, please join me there.

When I joined @bluesky in August 2024, it was a bit lonely and there wasn't a lot of content that I found interesting. That's all changed now and it's pretty much how Twitter was 5 or 10 years ago.

Silvertown blues.
From the @guardian: "Fire crews tackle blaze after ‘pre-planned’ film set explosions near the O2". The article mentions the O2 several times. The fire was in Silvertown, on the other side of the river, which is about 400m wide here.

@hdduncan I was thinking of the 4th largest industry in the world having annual revenues of more than $500 million. This is true, but unhelpful.

[Peter Claydon @PeterClaydon]

The paper was compiled by a bunch of smart people from the UK semiconductor industry, and me. It contains some useful insights. I'll buy a beer for the first person who can spot the true, but unhelpful statistic on page 8.

🔍 We are delighted to announce the release of our #Semiconductors Expert Working Group’s Future Capability Paper, which looks to establish where the UK can advance #research, #development and #innovation towards 2030 and beyond🚀https://t.co/L83Ina0GJP @DigiCatapult @CSACatapult

Google maps told me that 1st June was my busiest day of the month. I wonder what their definition of 'busy" is? It looks like they think I flew 11K km, ran 14 km and drove 14 km. The driving was actually buses and they missed a train, underground and a load of walking.

@ianbremmer Are those disapproval ratings? That would imply that Rishi Sunak has a very high approval rating, which doesn't sound right. I think these are actually approval ratings.

Well said, @RyanCoogan. I have noticed this phenomenon. I refuse to queue and sometimes get told that I'm pushing it. It's not helped by inexperienced bar people who fail to notice who arrived first.

From the @Independent. It would appear that someone has been robbing Anita Pallenberg's grave. @JohnRentoul

An interesting announcement from SRS.

[Peter Claydon @PeterClaydon]

I think what it actually means is "Spend £800 or more and get a maxium of 3.1% back". I think that misleading offers like this upset customers. As the consumer, you're given something and then it's taken away again. (@Samsung offer to @AmexUK card holders).

[Peter Claydon @PeterClaydon]

From the @Independent today. Cumbria is an English county, and the implication is that the sinkhole is in a nearby county, like Lancashire or Yorkshire, so why not say so, @JohnRentoul. (The article says it's actually in Cumbria).

[Peter Claydon @PeterClaydon]

The @Independent is never the most numerate of publications. Having more than one fire to battle in 120 square metres seems implausible. That's about 11 metres x 11 metres. I think they mean 120 metres squared, which is "about the size of 2 football pitches", @JohnRentoul

@ArianeSherine @johnandi I remember when first class went up from 3p to 3.5p and second class from 2p to 2.5p. Probably around 1975. We didn't have books of stamps in those days.

Will TSMC Be Surprised By The Yield At Kumamoto? https://t.co/woqN3gZ9j2

I don't think so, @BBCNews https://t.co/JJcAg64naA
