The PS2 turned 25 last week. Which means more time has passed since that date than between the PS2’s debut and the launch of the Atari 2600. Sorry if that makes you feel old. But, hey, I wrote a fun piece for Stuff about the PS2 to temporarily take your mind off of your own impending demise.

Samsung Flex Gaming is like a Nintendo Switch folded in half. It’s bonkers and the subject of my Stuff column this week. Honestly, it’s probably a bit too bonkers to take seriously, but I’ve always had a thing for folding handhelds, ever since setting eyes on a Game & Watch Donkey Kong. (Alas, I’ve never been fortunate enough to own one.)

I don’t like iCloud but I still use it. And, hey, I’m paid to write about it. If you hate-use iCloud too, you might find some handy tips in my iCloud deep dive for TapSmart.

The UK’s Online Safety Act is a shitshow. The latest proof? Girl on the Net having to break an accessibility feature on her website, because she’s not willing to risk an £18 million fine. The law was designed with massive corporations in mind, not individuals and small organisations. And, as ever, a British government didn’t consider and/or care about wider use cases. No clarity is forthcoming. (In related news, the long-running Wire forum I set up in 2008 will be removed this weekend, because the band and I are not willing to take the risk that it might overstep the compliance line.)

A Canada goose fought off a bald eagle. One can only hope that’s an omen.
