I had to hunt to find them, they are proposed amendments and not yet part of the bill.

Go here https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3909/publications

And expand out ‘Ammendment Papers’ and choose ‘ HL Bill 135 Running list of amendments – 22 December 2025‘

LORD NASH BARONESS CASS BARONESS BENJAMIN

_ After Clause 27, insert the following new Clause—

“Action to prohibit the provision of VPN services to children in the United Kingdom (1) Within 12 months of the day on which this Act is passed the Secretary of State must, for the purpose of furthering the protection and wellbeing of children, make regulations which prohibit the provision to UK children of a Relevant VPN Service (the “child VPN prohibition”). (2) Regulations under subsection (1)— (a) may make provision for the provider of a Relevant VPN Service to apply to any person seeking to access its service in or from the UK age assurance which is highly effective at correctly determining whether or not that person is a child; (b) must apply the child VPN prohibition to the provider of any Relevant VPN Service which is, or is likely to be— (i) offered or marketed to persons in the United Kingdom; (ii) provided to a significant number of persons. © must make provision for the monitoring and effective enforcement of the child VPN prohibition. …

The RAM manufactures would normally consider increasing production in the face of increased demand, but they all know it’s a massive bubble so don’t want to, resulting in increased process until this all plays out.

If you do store your data, like me, in iCloud and Apple Photos then you should still take a backup.

The easiest way to do this to request a data export of all your Apple data. It’s then prepared into zip files you can download onto a local storage device.

I do it about once a year, which for me is a reasonable balance between risk and impact.

Here’s a guide: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/get-a-copy-of-your-apple-account-data/

Interesting, so it does load the data slower, it’s just that the world generation process runs in parallel and is even slower. Thus allowing loads of headroom for the data loading.

I remember David Cameron being interviewed by John Humphries on Today (the Radio 4 morning news show). Cameron basically lied about what was in the proposal to make it sound like it was some crackpot idea, Humphries did nothing to call him out on it.

Same went for most media coverage really.

I wish there was a way to turn off that Klarna advert in Apple Pay.

Every time you pay there is a ‘Other cards and pay later options’ button. You use it to change to a different card, but when you do there’s an option to sign up for Klarna.

Apple should do better than be promoting shitty BNPL services.

No surprise they’re running out of cash with the number of absurd mega projects they’re involved with. The EA purchase is pretty minor compared to those shambles.

I picked it up in a sale recently, it’s not normally my type of game but I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m only a couple of hours in and loving it so far.

The story is sucking me in and I’m starting to appreciate the combat, things seem to be unlocking at about the pace I can understand. I’m a little worried it’ll be repetitive but it looks like there’s plenty of opportunity to be creative to keep it interesting.

Definitely my solo game for the longer nights ahead.

To enable Saudi Arabia to host 2034 the 2030 World Cup was bizarrely spread across Europe (Spain and Portugal), Africa (Morocco) and 3 matches in South America (Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay).

When hosts for a World Cup are selected the confederations for the previous 2 world cups are excluded, thus North America (from 2026), South America, Europe and Africa were all excluded from even applying. Conveniently leaving the door much wider open from Saudi Arabia than it normally would have been.

I love the rental bike scheme in my city, Leeds. It’s slowly rolling out and covering more and more areas. The convenience of zero maintenance and being able to just drop the bike off without worrying about security beats owning a bike for me.

That said they have some reliability issues to work though but I’m sure they’ll get there.

Glad to hear it

Remember when OpenAI launched Dall-E 2? You got a few tokens for free images and then had to pay for it. Presumably that was at least some reflection on the cost of producing the images.

Now you can create video for free and consumer expectations that generative AI should be super cheap have been set. That genie is not going to go easily back into the bottle.

I’m reportedly getting ready to move to CoMaps.

Rise and shine Mr Freeman. Rise and shine

The NIN sound track is worth a listen. Otherwise apparently, no.

Just picked this up in the Steam sale, looking forward to diving into it as the nights draw in.

One of the principal justifications for George Osborne’s 2010 austerity plans turned out to be erroneous thanks to an Excel error.

That was without any help from AI, things could be about to get much worse.

This has ‘Late Late Breakfast Show’ vibes. Those around in the 80’s in the UK will probably remember the Noel Edmond’s variety show, a precursor to Noel’s House Party. They had members of the public do stunts. There were regular concerns about safety and eventually someone died.

I don’t understand the point of this. The govt is only just now rolling out Gov.UK ‘One Login’ with identity verification across its services. That should be enough for what government needs, this is just overreach.
