Atmospheric acidity is back to normal

Good news and more evidence that doing something has an effect. Sceptics should be treated as such and we should all be doing more to prevent disaster.

Gary Neville says football's racism problem extends to UK politics

There's not a thing you can disagree with here. As with everything, money trumps everything, including ethics. I'd like to think I would direct a club I owned, managed or played for to walk and leave the game behind.

The FA need to introduce points deductions for this kind of behaviour, fining clubs and banning individuals just doesn't work.

As for the clip itself, let's assume David Jones was being (poorly) directed to say what he said at the end. The reality is, balance isn't required in a debate like this. There's either racism or there isn't. This desire to entertain perceived balance in favour of representing the facts is why we have Brexit, anti-vaxxers and climate change sceptics.

Give us the facts, not opinions.

Amazon, Apple, Google and the Zigbee Alliance to develop connectivity standard

The smart home journey has been tough, trying to bring everything together through HomeKit has reduced the number of options dramatically. Lights are generally not a problem, but sensors, switches and plugs have been really tough to find.

Update

MacRumors with some more info on CHIP. This is actually quite exciting, if products like a Nest thermostat become compatible across ecosystems.

The Blind Smartphone Camera Test 2019

I really like these blind tests, but looking at the process, too much variation is possible. It wouldn't take much to make the photos truly comparible. Austin Mann and iPhonedo have created rigs for comparison tests in the past which are pretty good.
