@IHGOneRewards Is there an issue with retrieving hotel folios on the IHG website? This hasn't worked for any of my recent stays for a couple of months. Super annoying having to e-mail the hotel for a copy, was one of the best account features!

This past week, on a test bed in Britain, a Rolls-Royce jet engine ran at full take-off power on pure hydrogen, putting out water vapour instead of carbon. Nobody on Earth had managed it before. It is the sort of thing that ought to stop the country in its tracks, and it will be forgotten by the weekend. Leave aside the recent paroxysms of renewed net-zero insanity from Derelict Ed and the pervasive atmosphere of offended envy that greets much homegrown achievement nowadays in Britain. This engineering is a wonder, and it's British to the bone. We gave the world the jet engine in the first place - Frank Whittle, a Coventry man and an RAF officer, patented it in 1930 while the Air Ministry assured him it was a curiosity. Rolls-Royce is today one of perhaps three firms anywhere that can build a large aero engine at the outer edge of the possible, and it has just done what most of the industry swore was twenty years away. As usual, you marvel at how little the people who govern us had to do with it. The engineers in Derby are world-class; the stewardship above them is third-rate. They pulled off a global first while paying the most expensive industrial electricity in the developed world to keep the power on over the bench - a weight no German, American or Gulf rival has to carry. We produce frontier brilliance on the shop floor and fritter it away at the despatch box, and we have done for two generations. That is the maddening shape of modern Britain: brilliance from below, sub- (or, indeed, ultra-) mediocrity from above. The people here who actually make things are still among the best in the world; the state that is meant to back them treats a firm like Rolls-Royce as a photocall today and a takeover target tomorrow, and prices its energy as though it would prefer the next plant were built in Texas. Progress starts from the other end. Give these people what every rival government gives its champions and we beg ours to do without: the cheap, abundant power their competitors already enjoy, a supply chain built around them, and a state that guards a national asset rather than auctioning it. The hard part of a British revival - the talent, the nerve, the engineering - is already done, and was done again this week, by people who deserve a far better country than the one currently sitting above them. We just taught an engine to breathe fire and exhale water. The least we owe the men and women who managed it is a government and a state as brilliant as they are.

🚨NEW: Iceland founder, Sir Malcolm Walker, has come out to say 'two-tier policing exists,' as he reveals police rushed to one of his stores 3-minutes after a phoney accusation of racism, but didn't attend when staff were seriously hurt or threatened with violence by shoplifters

10 Downing Street tonight.

Keir Starmer, 2020: “When you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to. You don’t look at the electorate and ask them: what were you thinking? You look at yourself, and ask what were we doing?” Indeed @Keir_Starmer what are you doing? Just resign.

What a good idea!

There is no way of knowing how often Parliament votes against what the public actually wants. Until now. houseofthepeople.com tracks every bill going through Parliament. You vote. We compare it to how your MP voted. The gap speaks for itself.

China's biggest cybersecurity company apparently just shipped an AI assistant with its own SSL private key sitting inside the installer. Qihoo 360, think Norton or McAfee, but dominant across the entire Chinese market It appears that their new AI product, 360安全龙虾 (Security Claw) bundles a wrapper on @OpenClaw. Inside the installer package - accessible to anyone who downloaded it - was a private SSL certificate key for the domain *.myclaw.360.cn. An SSL private key is essentially the master password to a website's encrypted connection. With it, an attacker can impersonate 360's servers, silently intercept user traffic, forge a login page that looks completely legitimate, or possibly take over the AI agent altogether. The cert is valid until April 2027 and covers every subdomain on the platform. It's now public. The founder launched the product with a promise it would "never leak passwords". It did that during release? 461 million users, a $10B valuation, and nobody checked the zip file before shipping. The cert expires April 2027.

@scott_mills You need to get back out here and give us a “Love You Bye!!” 🤣 Not angry just dissapointed lol #countrytocountry #c2c

@British_Airways Go home, you’re drunk!! For context to anyone who doesn’t know the route, this is a domestic, 38 minute flight in the UK.. 🤡 🤪 Follow me for more bargain flight tips #FlightDeals

YES! Someone reverse-engineered Apple's Neural Engine and trained a neural network on it. Apple never allowed this. ANE is inference-only. No public API, no docs. They cracked it open anyway. Why it matters: • M4 ANE = 6.6 TFLOPS/W vs 0.08 for an A100 (80× more efficient) • "38 TOPS" is a lie - real throughput is 19 TFLOPS FP16 • Your Mac mini has this chip sitting mostly idle Translation: local AI inference that's faster AND uses almost no power. Still early research but the door is now open. → github.com/maderix/ANE #AI #MachineLearning #AppleSilicon #LocalAI #OpenSource #ANE #CoreML #AppleSilicon #NPU #KCORES

@myenergiuk Could you help me with setting up a second hand myEnergi hub. Emailed your support last week with the serial to get it reset but heard nothing back thanks!

@top25kcheese @ajay9470 @samkottler I thought there was an API in the spec for informational data to the kernel and heartbeats back?

@JeremyClarkson if you could make this real, you’d need to field race it against the lambo…. Wait for it…. SPEED and PLOWER!

This is a huge red line. Trial by jury is one of the most basic protections we have against state overreach. Once you start limiting it to only a handful of crimes, it’s only a matter of time before more get added to the ‘judge only’ list. This is how fundamental rights quietly disappear.

@SteveNomadic @AveryGiordano @Tyler21642119 Congrats!!!!! And go birds! 🤣

@CaptainErik13 Oh wow gulfstream! Very cool! Found the registration in your food pic.

@CaptainErik13 Newer 787? Looks amazing!

@countessmess @creative_chaos2 @DramBooks @JeremyClarkson Only a certain jealous/lazy subculture of british people, the rest of us quite enjoy celebrating in a friend or colleague’s success. Rising tides lift all boats and all that!

hey @Uber Given the car swapping and all that, how about we at least have a cheap device that means we’re not riding in cars with multiple warning lights on the dash?
