Jonathan Pie joins New York Times, how to find what theme a website is built with.

Have you ever visited someone else’s website and wondered how they built it? If it’s built using the Wordpress system, it should be easy to find out. Visit whatwpthemeisthat.com and type in the address for the website you’re interested in. It should tell you what theme the website was built with and sometimes additional details including some extra plug ins and features it has. That’s whatwpthemeisthat.com Lego is making a big splash on social media this week with its brick by brick version of t...

Amazon Prime price hike, technology and the cost of living squeeze.

2022 looks certain to be the year of the cost of living squeeze and as we look for ways to save some money, technology will be top of many people’s lists. Look across the video streaming services and music platforms you pay and consider if you’re paying for the same thing twice. For example, some mobile phone contracts come with access to Apple Music or Spotify already bundled in. There can be some crossover between Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime and services like Sky Movies and Virgin Media. Wh...

The latest products have a range of features - letting you choose colours, patterns and setting up schedules. You can control the lighting from a smartphone app or via your voice. It’s around £20 for a pack of 2 smart lightbulbs. That’s a fair bit more than a standard LED bulb but they should last between 10 and 15 years. One thing to watch with smart l...

Facebook's numbers drop, is this the cutest account on all of Twitter? Mr T and the Winter Olympics

Just days after the release of research showing Facebook’s continued social media dominance we now have numbers from Facebook itself showing the first drop in the number of people using it every day for 18 years. It’s a small drop, from 1.930 billion to 1.929 billion but it’s sent shares in the parent company tumbling and boss Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged the impact of rivals such as TikTok and YouTube. But is it younger audiences and cooler platforms or is it a knock on effect from the row abou...

Facebook video profiles scrapped, Joe Rogan promises more balance and Winter Olympics social channels.

If you’re one of the few people who has a video instead of a static image on their Facebook profile picture, it’s about to disappear. The social network has announced it’ll start removing them from the 7th of February - when they’ll be replaced by the cover image. Users affected will see a message from Facebook asking them to choose a new profile picture if they’d prefer not to have their cover image and profile picture become the same. Linkedin also allows video profile pictures and like Facebo...

What Joe Rogan and Spotify teach us about the BBC

Joe Rogan is promising to do better and to have 'more balance and research' on his podcast. In short, he's going to try to be more like the BBC. Doesn't this embarassing episode highlight the importance of the BBC and why we should be protecting it from the shadowy elites who want rid of it? Far from being 'the establishment', I argue the BBC is counter culture here in 2022. And Joe Rogan/Spotify? Clowns.
