Tomorrow's World in 1980 giving a computer voice commands.

Then they transmit software over the air...

This stuff blew my mind, and really got me more in to technology and computers. Along with getting a ZX81.

And which insurance companies are they going to sell that data to? Also, who will be liable for any harmful advice it might hallucinate?

.. while constantly serving up more crappy ads for more scams, and posts by people nobody knows. Meta has gradually destroyed any social relevance it may have once had.

You'd get more value sitting under your letterbox bathing in constant junkmail battering your brain.

It turns out that the recently deceased Ayatollah had issued a fatwa on anyone who used nuclear weapons. To him the use of such weapons was a sin.

So Trump and Netanyahu actually killed someone in the region who was vehemently *against* the use of nuclear weapons.

Israel has wanted this for years.

Seeing people online saying things like "What have the USA ever done for us..?"

And someone points out that they took James Corden off our hands for a while, ... so there's that!

The UK clearly hasn't joined any war effort, since there's still no dedicated section for it on the BBC News site menu yet.

I have to say, compared to Iraq, this whole thing is FAR less 'televised'. Which is probably a good thing, but notable nonetheless.

Apparently, there's a load of deployment orders going out to some US military units. 48 hour readiness.

That does not sound good at all.
