Musical Interlude


Music is the Zoltraak theme from the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.  Anime by some strange coincidence is Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

Contains spoilers.  Contains very spoilers for four of the most dramatic fight scenes in the first season.  Since the first season only really contains four dramatic fight scenes - this is a character-driven series, not monster of the week - you might want to avoid this one if you want to watch the show.




Disclaimer: And I do recommend this series, even to those who do not usually watch anime.  I did find the episodes near the end of the first season a bit of a slog - into each great anime a tournament arc must fall - but it resolves itself with the same wit and grace that makes the rest of the story shine.

  • Press X to doubt: Microsoft says it is fixing Windows 11.  (Nerds.xyz)

    Almost everything on the list is reversing changes that they push on users against vehement objections, or side effects of those changes.

    I'll believe it when I see it.  Or six months after that, really.

    Meanwhile the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Edition still exists (and there's a Windows 11 version that is also less broken than the Home edition, if you need support for recent features like Ethernet-over-Thunderbolt.)

You won't recognise those people unless you are Australian and were alive in the 90s, but I am, and was. 



Disclaimer: No AI was harmed in the creation of that music video.  It was made in 1992, so that would have been hard.  They actually persuaded various newsreaders of the day to lip-sync the lyrics.

  • Two more long-lost Doctor Who episodes have been rediscovered decades after they first aired.  (BBC)

    The two episodes are from the sprawling 12-episode story The Dalek Master Plan that aired in Britain in 1965 - and never aired anywhere else because Australian censors deemed it too violent and that made it unprofitable to resell in smaller markets.

    And then the BBC, in the long tradition of knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing, wiped the tapes to reuse them, deeming the tapes themselves more valuable than their contents.

    Which left little hope because most of the episodes rediscovered over the years have been from the archives of channels elsewhere in the world that "accidentally" held on to copies for decades after their rights expired.

    These two episodes were left to a film archiving foundation as part of a "ramshackle" private collection.

    In a nice touch, one of the actors who appeared as the Doctor's companion in the story - Peter Purves, now 87 - was invited to the screening, but only told that it was for an interview.  To be fair, they did interview him afterwards.


  • Yes, it's a quiet news day.
