Such a warm, happy glow from the modern #BBC:

"... the BBC will be making BBC Sounds available exclusively to UK audiences and ending access to the service for international users beginning Spring 2025."

To give credit where it's due, the marketing spin on this is next level:

"Through this new user experience, listeners can explore deeper context and analysis on select topics, gaining a richer understanding of the issues that matter most—all without leaving the [new BBC Audio] platform."

V #BBC Shaimaa Khalil:
The Japanese firm which apparently makes the walkie-talkies says production on that model stopped 10 years ago.

Icom describes the IC-V82 as a handheld radio which was exported to the Middle East from 2004 to 2014 and has not been shipped since then. The manufacturing of the batteries has also stopped, it says.

The company says it isn't possible to confirm whether the IC-V82s that exploded in yesterday's attacks were shipped directly from Icom, or via a distributor.

So the #BBC finally commented on ratings for the show - and they consider it a success! 😄

#DoctorWho

A BBC spokeswoman said: "Overnight ratings no longer provide an accurate picture of all those Who watch drama in an on-demand world. This season of Doctor Who premiered on iPlayer nearly 24 hours before broadcast, and episode one has already been viewed by nearly Six million viewers and continues to grow. Doctor Who remains one of the most watched programmes on iPlayer and is the BBC's top drama for under-35s this Year, making it one of the biggest programmes for the demographic across all streamers and broadcasters."

This is the Llava:34B LLLM (local large language model) running on my #MacBook Pro describing a #screenshot from #BBC News. This, to me, is as good info as #BeMyAI would provide using #GPT4, so it goes to show that we can do this on-device and have some really meaningful results. Screenshot attached, #AltText contains the description.
Lately, I've taken to using this to describe images instead of using GPT, even if it takes a little longer for results to come back. I consider this to be quite impressive.
The image appears to be a screenshot of a news report. There's a man in the center, who is speaking or being interviewed. He has graying hair and is wearing a suit with no tie, suggesting a casual or formal setting without overly strict dress code. At the top left corner, there's a "Live North London" label, indicating that this might be an ongoing broadcast from North London. The text at the bottom of the image, which includes phrases like "Charity increases in abuse on Jewish people in UK" and other headlines suggesting political or social news events, indicates that the report is likely related to current affairs or issues affecting the United Kingdom. On the right side of the image, there's a thumbnail for another video with the headline "Trump in court case begins next month," which suggests coverage of legal proceedings involving former U.S. President Donald Trump. Additionally, there are other headlines visible on the screen that pertain to various topics, such as health concerns and crime statistics. The interface elements suggest this is a digital broadcast or live streaming platform, possibly from the BBC News website based on the URL in the top left corner. The overall image conveys a sense of professional journalism covering diverse topics relevant to current events.

Yes, twitter really did mockingly label the Canadian national broadcaster CBC as "69% Government-funded Media".

Similar broadcasters like the BBC and Australia's ABC surely have to follow CBC and stop using twitter, now that its toxic clown of an owner has shown what contempt he has for them.

If he is prepared to use his platform to paint childish graffiti on their accounts, I can't see why any serious entity would want to have anything to do with twitter.

Just wow. The #BBC is often bad but this has got to be a new low. A subeditor needs to reflection their life, ASAP.
