Semi-retired Internet geek living with my wife and dog in Nairn, Scotland. When I’m well enough I’m trying to make the world a better place through the application of technology but I’m also the SNP councillor for Nairn & Cawdor which is taking up most of most of my time.

Runar Bjørhovde, an analyst at Canalys, said return rates of foldables are 5-10 percent, far higher than traditional smartphones and a deterrent to repeat purchases.

A phone costing me four digits with that high a return rate. Nope.

What’s the issue in the EU?

And not a word on the dualling of the A96 from Inverness to Nairn. Sigh.

Anti-abortion, anti-GRR, anti-independence. The SNP is well shot of her.
