The absorbatron was created by a kid in a competition and creators tweaked the design a bit.

Abzorbaloff, it was a character designed after a Blue Peter (BBC Children's show) competition, blame William Grantham

Wow, did not know! That's pretty awesome!

Not a bad thing, just bad for die hard fans I guess.

Doctor Who: Jodie Whittaker's first series set to have fewer but longer episodes

 

I think I'd rather have the regular length 12 episodes.

I'd rather have a full series like in the old days - 1/2 hour episodes, say, 36 of them to create maybe 8-12 full stories. The serial format allowed for better storytelling when used effectively. (And a lot of story padding when used poorly.)

Shada is going to be finally completed ... again! It was only "finally completed" at least twice before! :woot: It was released on video with Tom Baker as an older version of the 4th Doctor narrating the missing sections, effectively 4 telling us the story. It was redone with 8 and Lord President Romana (somehow completing the actions of their earlier selves.)

I am in fact waiting to take delivery of the Big Finish version of Shada, got it on sale a few weeks back.

    • I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.
    • It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
