So uh, it seems #BMW is now selling ad spots for their #cars. With #Spiderman material showing on screen. https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T0459622EN/bmw-brings-modern-mobility-to-the-sony-pictures-film-%E2%80%9Cspider-man%E2%84%A2:-brand-new-day%E2%80%9D?language=en

BMW brings modern mobility to the Sony Pictures film “Spider Man™: Brand New Day”.

In the new Sony Pictures film “Spider-Man™: Brand New Day”, BMW is taking advanced mobility to the big screen. The collaboration links the BMW brand with one of the world’s most successful film franchises. The BMW iX3, the first model in the Neue Klasse, and the BMW 5 Series Sedan with its future-forward technologies deliver compelling performances. To mark the film’s premiere on 27 July 2026, the BMW iX3 Flow – Spider-Man Brand New Day will make its debut with a dynamic digital exterior. Moreover, BMW drivers in many markets will be able to access a special Spider-Man™ animation on their Control Display – provided the BMW is equipped with the relevant features – from the film’s premiere until 10 August.

Just finished #TheConsultant on #AmazonPrime. Hadn’t heard about it from anywhere. A delicious, surreal thriller-of-sorts about a mysterious consultant who comes to a games company. I can hardly describe the genre. Is it black comedy? Is it suspense? It certainly was unique.

I thoroughly enjoyed #StrangeNewWorlds s04e01. Bonkers, very TOS, with possible further ramifications, but without the modern tedious never-ending plot. This is the kind of TV #scifi I’ve really been missing.

Wow, amazingly cool #DungeonMaster / semi-#Wolfenstein with smooth turning and dithered depth shading for the #SinclairSpectrum. #ZXSpectrum #retrocomputing https://youtu.be/EvDKvRNXmi0?is=nhZM2He-IqIYko0v

Tämäkin on jo vanha juttu, mutta tiedättekö mitä Espoon rakennusvalvonta teki, kun kaupunginhallitus sanoi että rakennuslupien käsittelyaikoja on lyhennettävä? Ilmoitti että rakennuslupaa ei saa hakea ennen kuin siihen on annettu lupa. Ensin pitää siis hakea lupaa luvan jättämiseen, ja tätä […]

I’m not sure I fully understand the issue with the latest #FIFA debacle. Surely having private investment is not in itself a bad thing? More money for the national associations can help the game. The question is how that investment is structured and what say, if any, will investors have on the […]

OMG. Masters of the Universe was amazing and I squeed and I loved it and the soundtrack was ace and my mate worked in the props department for it. #movie #MastersOfTheUniverse

#MastersOfTheUniverse was way better than I expected! Genuine fun, self-deprecating humour, 80s style guitars (#BrianMay doing the honours), neon colours, the works. It’s like a boys’ version of Barbie. I think the marketing was completely off as it didn’t show how whacky this is. They should’ve […]

Shocked to hear from @harrysintonen that French #electronicMusic artist #Kavinsky has been found dead. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c204n74xyv3o

"speech-to-speech" is a project by Huggingface - an easily deployable local VAD-STT-LLM-TTS pipeline. I now have Majel Barrett (the voice of the computer in ST:TNG) answering my questions about the upcoming family vacation in Croatia. This is the stuff of dreams from the 90s having come real […]

RE: https://scalie.zone/@aks/116993887842458603 I still remember that 25 years ago, my nickname was rolle^, and I joined the linux.fi channel but was immediately kicked out. The reason was: "Take your hat off when you enter the house."

Advertiser algorithms like to show me products I’ve looked at (or even bought already!). Fine, but couldn’t they offer a paid service to show those ads to the wife too? You know, so I could slowly work to get approval for a new toy!

Vielä voi hihkaista, jos haluaa napata kyydistäni jotain tuotteita huomenna ysitien varrella (Airaksela - Jyväskylä - Tampere - Vesilahti - takaisin). Otan muutaman purkin hunajaa ja kynttilöitä mukaan autoon, niin saa kysellä huomennakin. Lähden aamulla […] [Original post on mementomori.social]

Interesting #messaging app. Instead of instant messaging you send off birds to deliver your message and can track them as they fly across the globe to bring your note to the recipient. I’m ‘setok’ on #Roost if you fancy sending a pigeon across :) https://roostsocial.app/

Tulipa testattua Balkan Grill Vantaalla. Oli eeppinen mättö, vahva suositus paikalle vaikka ulkoasu onkin vähän kämänen. Terassin seinällä oli hieno otus lepäämässä, mikä lie lajiaan. #ruoka #perhoset

In June, full electric #EVs became the number 1 in new car registrations in #Germany, beating hybrids and all other propulsion vehicles. But hey, I’m sure it’s a fad.

Rabbits can swim! Even better: their ears fold back into swim mode. I feel this information deserved to be shared :)

This week I learned the difference between Apple Pay and Google Pay. In the case of the former, everthing is handled by the card provider and Apple does not have any visibility of the transaction. In the case of the latter, quelle surprise(!), Google processes and sees everything. Apple charges […]

RE: https://amok.recoil.org/@nick/116975099651608840 Seems my ancient code has also been used to train #LLMs. Kind of happy about that actually! Of course one issue is that I’ve moved most of that code to the Fossil SCM instead of git (and hosted on Chiselapp). So it’s missing all my brilliant […]

A truly sad day as I eat my very last #MovingMountain #vegan sausage. They are by far the best #vegetarian sausage, with even a skin, and that herbal flavour you get with British #sausages. Sadly last year I heard they were no longer to be imported to […] [Original post on attractive.space]

Check out these amazing #boots I found at #Kasvihuoneilmiö. Based on the marking, they are Swiss army and with the year 1951 stamped on the sole. From what I can see these are completely unused! Condition is immaculate apart from some storage scrapes and […] [Original post on attractive.space]
