ECG app and irregular heart rhythm notification available today on Apple Watch –

ECG app and irregular heart rhythm notification available today on Apple Watch – Apple (UK):

Starting today, the ECG app on Apple Watch Series 4 marks a direct-to-consumer product that enables customers to take an electrocardiogram right from their wrist, capturing heart rhythm in a moment when they experience symptoms like a rapid or skipped heart beat and helping to provide critical data to physicians.

Am off to do me some OS updates, if I’m not back soon then I’ve gone to the doctors 😬

Apple Card – Apple

Apple Card – Apple:

If you find a place that doesn’t take Apple Pay yet there’s this.

So the physical card is for when you find somewhere that doesn’t take Apple Pay, sorry, but if I have a card that looks this good I’m using it all the time, don’t care if I earn less cash back.

Luckily, unlikely to hit the UK any time soon that I can see, so I don’t need to make silly financial decisions!

BA plane lands in Edinburgh instead of Dusseldorf by mistake

BA plane lands in Edinburgh instead of Dusseldorf by mistake – BBC News:

A British Airways flight destined for Dusseldorf in Germany has landed in Edinburgh by mistake, after the flight paperwork was submitted incorrectly.

The passengers only realised the error when the plane landed and the “welcome to Edinburgh” announcement was made.

Looking forward to understanding how the hell this one happened!

Hi @manton mostly like the Sunlit update, but how do I compose a new post from Instagram? Can add a photo from there to a post in progress, but seems I have to pick something from my camera roll first to get started? Am I missing something 🤔

Disney hires for Lucasfilm Games (Not as exciting as I thought)

Disney hires for Lucasfilm Games as EA flounders with ‘Star Wars’ (updated):

There hasn’t been a Lucasfilm Games-badged release since before 1991’s Monkey Island 2, but that isn’t stopping Disney from resurrecting the classic label.

Got all excited reading this, well nostalgic at least, loved me the Lucasfilm Games, loads of fond memories, but I guess it pays not to be an ‘up to the second blogger’ as it was explained away with;

Disney has reached out to the media to explain that this isn’t a “revival” and it’s definitely not anything like LucasArts. The team at Lucasfilm that oversees games relating to its IP (including Star Wars Battlefront II) has been working under that name for years

But, my brain was already ticking, there’s a great list of LucasArts games over at Wikipedia, some of favourite wastes of time include;

  • Star Wars Dark Forces
  • The Monkey Island franchise (loved the humour)
  • Shadows of the Empire
  • The Jedi Knight games, adored these
  • Rogue Squadron
  • Xwing vs Tie Fighter
  • Force Commander
  • Day of the Tentacle (Just odd!)
  • Rescue on Fractalus

Rescue on Fractalus was my earliest memory, I both loved and loathed it, ridiculously simple game premise yet I was terrible at it, absolutely terrible and it drove me nuts, I’ll leave you with this clip on Youtube, so you can all wonder how I possible could have enjoyed this and just how old I am!
