@Castbox_fm - I have a Polestar 2 car which has an Android centre console tablet which runs ANDROID AUTOMOTIVE. When I search in Playstore on that console, it does not find Castbox. Does Castbox not support this Android platform? I cannot standardise on Castbox as a result 😢

Here are the headphones just a few days before they broke completely. I had been intending to ask you about the cracking and apparently imminent failure of the plastic. (Of course, they later did actually break completely as I removed them from my head).

[Julian Smith @techjock]

@AKGaudio My N700 ncm2 headphones have just disintegrated. OK, they are a few years old but essentially, because the plastic of the side arms has cracked and now fully broken (plastic fatigue?), the headphones are completely unusable. Pretty unhappy tbh ☹️.

@Matalan I have followed you now, but I do not see how to send you a private message.

[Julian Smith @techjock]

@Matalan How can I DM you about a 'Matalan Me' issue that I have? I cannot log in as it says the email is not known, yet I have the associated Matalan Me number and card. Please advise. Thanks.

We’ve lost quite a few followers this week for being critical of the Conservatives.

But we can’t just sit back and watch them destroy the NHS.

So please follow and RT if you stand with us and help us fight for better.

I learnt that honey bees only live around 6 weeks and produce less than a teaspoon of honey. It made me feel a bit sad because I love bees so much. So I asked ChatGPT about the most interesting fact about honeybees. Here’s what it came up with:

“One of the most interesting facts about bees is that they communicate with each other through a "waggle dance." When a forager bee discovers a good source of food, it returns to the hive and performs a specific dance pattern to convey the distance and direction of the food source to other bees. The duration and angle of the dance provide specific information, allowing other bees to locate the food source with precision. This intricate form of communication is vital for the colony's survival.”

@sebo_gm @sebo_gm It would also be super useful if I could get ChatGPT to act generate a mail merge, such that emails to each recruiter could be generated and my CV attached.

Maybe I'm over optimistic though 🤣

[Julian Smith @techjock]

@sebo_gm Very informative. Personally, I don't have access to ChatGPT4 per se. However, I will try this in Bing chat (which theoretically should give similar results).

As I'm actively looking for a job, my use case will be to get names and email addresses of recruiters in my contacts.

@got_87 @iannnnn Wrong @TechJock - This podcast is nothing to do with me! Cheers

@LukeBarousse @sebo_gm Hi @LukeBarousse @Sebo_gm It would be great to learn how to install the noteable plug in (from a noobie perspective) and how to use it as you have suggested.

Cheers!

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff.

Please can you help by following us and retweeting this?

Elon Musk literally taught himself everything about reusable rockets, self-driving cars, digital payments, brain chips, and satellite internet.

He's the modern Da Vinci

Last night I found Elon's Reddit post from 9 years ago where he explained how to learn anything

How to recreate a festival at home:

- Don’t shower until next week
- Don’t flush your toilet
- Say “oh my god” in horror every time you open the bathroom door
- Say “I’ll be okay in a minute” a lot
- Lose your phone
- Have an existential crisis
- Spend hours trying to find your bed
- Brush your teeth in the garden
- Buy a small portion of chips for £12.50
- Maybe listen to some music

In case you missed it ...
Back at the start of Brexit, renowned economist @AdamPosen set out a very fair and balanced assessment of how Brexit would negatively affect our economy. Looking back at it, every word of what he said came true.
