Great to hear that the #Singapore #DataProtection Trustmark (DPTM) will become a SG Standard (SS) in July 2025 - it's a strong stamp of support for the Trustmark, and a nice step into global recognition of the quality of the DPTM. #standards #DigitalTrade https://t.co/1Bfl8fNbFo

I just tried the @ICANN #Domain Metrica https://t.co/LCD5sbSWxE and it's pretty nifty for getting the core info like when the domain was registered (usual #WhoIs type data), but most interesting to me is the ability to show Reported Abuse. you can check #URL #TLD or #registrar.

#AppleTV now available as an #Android app. #Interoperability is #inclusion (and a bigger market share) so this is a good move for #AppleTV, although analysts are wondering if it's too little, too late for subscriber numbers. #streaming #ott

If you're planning on upgrading your #diving gear this year, reduce your CO2 footprint by donating your old wetsuit (ping me to meet up!), where #TheSubmersibles partners, the wonderful folk from Sew Dignity, will repurpose the compressed neoprene (or other) for bags/pouches.
