    Followed a YouTube video to change the washer pump on my daughter&#39;s Fiat Panda. Got halfway through removing the inner wing for access (which is a massive pita) then realised the video was for a Mk II and in the Mk III (hers) and later Fiat put a little, easy to remove panel for access to the washer pump! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Much swearing as I put all the stupid screws and clips back in... If I ever have to do it again, I&#39;ll be much quicker. It really is a 10 minute job on the Mk III. Less so on the Mk II...

    UK government department outsources AI %thing. It&amp;#39;s hardwired to use either AWS; Azure, Gemini or OpenAI. (๐Ÿคฆ already) But I appreciate they open sourced it. There&amp;#39;s no docs, but it&amp;#39;s on GitHub. Only it doesn&amp;#39;t work and the Terraform provided is not open sourced, so what looked like ready-to-go TF is not at all. Then you see ANOTHER UK gov department has forked it. They&amp;#39;ve added a bit more documentation, but it&amp;#39;s still broken. Both teams ask pe...

    This is an actual comprehensive and sensible review of the #Ferrari Luce. Spoiler: it&amp;#39;s very, very good. That shouldn&amp;#39;t be a surprise, at the price it has to be. But I think once all the silliness has died down this car is going to be a collector&amp;#39;s item. I reckon years from now it will be seen as the pinnacle of early #EV execution by the best car company in the world: https://youtu.be/B86taQzY5Es?is=r1zLoU4TgsOx8V0_ (Yes, it&amp;#39;s Top Gear, but it&amp;#39;s proper...

    It&#39;s funny how much modern #EV predicted ranges fluctuate. Obviously depending on software, but our ID.Buzz bases future range on recent past driving, I think a lot of EV brains do. It tends to do a lot of motorway and fast roads in #France and the max range prediction hovers around 320/330 kilometres. Here in #Italy it&#39;s the only car with us for a month and it&#39;s doing all the ducking about, so now the prediction is close to 400 kilometres. EVs much prefer shopping trips to motorway...

    Well. @drupalassoc@mastodon.social has migrated our company profile to their new website (nice) but added a &quot;warning&quot; across the top directing people away from it to a Certified Partner directory because we are not Certified Partners (nobody told us this was happening or asked us if we wanted to upgrade, which would&#39;ve cost a further $500 it seems) even though we paid them $1,000 in May (not very nice at all). Take a paying sponsor and vandalise their company profile? Colour me not...

    So many questions today! Does anyone know if it&#39;s possible to deep link into a bookmark in a document in #Collabora with #Nextcloud? I&#39;m looking for similar behaviour to Google Drive, where the bookmark stub is appended to the link. I don&#39;t think you can, but asking just in case I missed something! // @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz @CollaboraOffice@mastodon.social

    I struggle to watch a Labour politician debating on TV at the moment and take them seriously. Which is particularly sad, I didn&amp;#39;t vote Labour last time, but historically I (mostly) respected the party and hoped this government would be effective, especially after the utter shit show that went before it. I suppose this is a visceral sign of how far the trust in Starmer&amp;#39;s government has been eroded by continuous missteps, broken promises and tone-deaf policy decisions. And in such...

    So today I totally accidentally snuck into a private Porsche Club France race meet. I took my dad along because it was advertised on the circuit&amp;#39;s website, pulled up to the gate, security guard came out and I said &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m here for the Porsche thing&amp;quot; and he just let us in. Then we found ourselves infield surrounded by racing cars and drivers. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Only found out we shouldn&amp;#39;t be there when I tried to get a program for tomorrow.

    I think someone in Chronopost Nรฎmes is stealing car batteries on delivery. Twice in a row I have been contacted to say my new battery for the Fiat 500 is damaged and can I please refuse the delivery to save them the trip. Legit delivery cancellation, company sends out new battery, same happens again. It&amp;#39;s almost the perfect crime, because if challenged they can just take a hammer to the package and say &amp;quot;See?&amp;quot; ๐Ÿคท
