Apple update looks like Czech mate for locked-out iPhone user

So you can't just connect a physical keyboard like on most other OSs?

Stuff a Pi-hole in your router because your browser is about to betray you

Years ago, I ran a very early version of Pi-Hole on a Pi Zero. I found a weird (designed for Chromecast) cable on Amazon that powered an ethernet port, and the Pi Zero, from a USB-A plugged into the router. Local DNS doesn't have to be blazing fast so it worked quite acceptably!

Scientists spot massive black hole collision that defies current theories

I'd love to see an animation of this.

What is the point at which two black holes collide? Because every animation I've seen treats the event horizons as if they are a liquid, but surely that's not the moment of collision!

After giving us .zip, Google Domains to shut down, will be flogged off to Squarespace

It might just be time for a follow up

Domain migration from Google domains to SquareSpace is now in full flow - and their award-winning (in 2013) customer support can't keep up. The problem? SquareSpace offers a very cut-down domain management service. They can't do a fraction of the customisation that was possible with Google Domains. My own domain borked the moment it was transferred and hasn't been usable since, and judging by online review sites I'm not alone. Of course, I've lodged a request with their award-winning (in 2013) customer support, but as they're a bit busy they not gotten around to looking at it, but it's only been 5 days!
