I'm wondering when the last #BBCClick episode is going to be on.

They announced that it was being axed in October 2024. And episodes were patchy over December and possibly even November.

But I just went on iPlayer and the "Continue Watching" appeared to have a new episode. And there's actually two!

So are these not Click? Or did the announcement have a non-obvious date? Because one episode was CES, which _has_ to be new content!

Not saying I'm late to the party, but… I only just found out that the BBC have cancelled #BBCClick … back in October! 😱

The word thing is that there's still been new episodes (with some gaps). Must be stuff they'd recorded before the announcement or something.

Poor Spenley and co. He seems so upset. x.com/spenley/status/184647407

The logged out experience on Twitter is REALLY crap.

There's not been any BBC Click on for the last couple of weeks. Normally I'd check their Twitter account to say if they posted about taking a short break, and when they'd be back.

But "logged out" view is "popular tweets first". So I can't see any recent announcements 😐

(And that's before we get to the overload of "sign in with Google", "Don't miss out - sign up!" and "Cookies?" like some desperate tabloid site 🙄)

From the little bit that I'd seen on #BBCClick, this looked like it could be interesting and novel.

Not intrusive. Clever little "project onto your hand" system. Simple interactions. Potentially a future Star Trek communicator, where you tap it and there's a computer to do stuff on command.

But apparently it's getting panned!

BBC NewsHumane AI Pin: much-hyped gadget rocked by bad reviewsA new AI-fuelled gadget has fallen foul of the tech world's expectations.

#metaverse #BBCclick Just watching a BBC Click article about music concerts. Via headset, you’ll soon be able to access a “live” metaverse concert, and watch a virtual version of your favourite pop star tweaked to physical perfection performing on a virtual stage. You’ll also be able to speak to the avatars of other members of the audience by pressing a button and initiating a voice chat.
Don’t get me wrong, I embrace technology, but the novelty’s rapidly fading. Give me a good book any day…
