You might remember that I’ve written a few times on the subject of the Raspberry Pi. As you’ll know, it started out as an educational tool, designed to help people to learn coding, but I think even the makers of the Pi couldn’t have anticipated what it’s become, which is – quite simply – the UK’s best-selling PC of all…

Self-service is everywhere now, from the tills at Tesco to the gates at Gatwick. And for the most part, it’s made our lives easier, and it’s made completing tasks quicker. But this summer I was reminded of its limitations. We were heading off to Lisbon for a family break, and although I’d checked in online, I still had to use…
I’m currently reading a fantastic business book called “They Ask, You Answer”. (I say ‘reading’, I’m actually listening to it – Audible helps me consume so many more books!) The premise of the book is pretty simple: what questions do the prospective users of your product or service have, and can they find the answers to them? The author’s idea…
Do you know how easily your laptop could be hacked into? You might be thinking that you’ve got a pretty good password, so you should be okay, but according to this article, that’s a long way from the case.
