This episode I ask what will happen to the proposed UK ban on social media, given our current political job rotation. I outline what the current plan is, and include some listener feedback from episode 17 on notes. We have the Dad joke, and a brief sleep tip. If you want to check out the current fact sheet from the UK Government you can find it here, although this may be modified or removed depending on what the new PM does:

Welcome to episode 15. This week I'm discussing USB connections and which devices use the various connector types. Age verification has come to iOS here in the UK, and the UK Government are having a consultation about a new digital ID which makes it easier to prove your identity and apply for and manage Government services that you use. Get your views heard by clicking the link to the consultation. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening.

After a small unscheduled break I'm back with episode 14, discussing the good side of technology and some fun memories.

Remember you can feedback and suggest comments by selecting the feedback link from each show.
