LUCY THE HUMAN CHIMP
Just two or three genes difference between us and our nearest living ancestor, but a huge difference. One of those great docs that leaves you wanting to talk about it afterwards made by Alex Parkinson

AMOS NACHOUM
Photographing sharks underwater wasn't dangerous enough for Amos Nachoum - so he took to recording swimming polar bears instead. And yes, he has been almost eaten a couple of times ... Probably a tedious git at a party - but the resulting pictures are quite interesting.

LAURA BARTON'S AMERICAN ROAD TRIP
The perfect radio for one of those code-red heatwave evenings ... if you can handle the oh-so plummy radio 4 accent (she's from Lancashire, too - shame on her) Takes you back to those hypnotic American new-wave road movies of the 70s ...

LIVING ON AN ISLAND-FILL
It's pretty horrific ... you finally clean out that cupboard and find yerself throwing out all sorts of tech - old set-top boxes, routers, chargers etc. You were thinking of buying a cordless hoover - I mean vacuum cleaner, until you thought for a moment and remembered that anything with a built-in battery dies and refuses to take a charge about a week after the warranty runs out. And then you hear that the next gen of i-phone will come with software that stops you from swapping the battery over - even to the same exact model
The folks at i-fixit (below) are providing free manuals for thousands of machines - they only make money from supplying the specialist toolkits
It's worth doing - I fixed the laptop I'm using right now (an old Lenovo/IBM T61 - Ebay bargain) It was overheating, so I paid £6 for a new fan and a quick Youtube tutorial later - fixed.
They call it The Right to Repair Movement ... we used to just call it repairs - |
