Plato: Our need will be the real creator. And this week we learnt that the necessity to find a workaround to the US chip ban was the mother to DeepSeek R1's invention. Oh the irony. Ben Thompson considers the ripples, far and wide. Fetch the popcorn....

Having an office located smack bang in the middle of town means we're spoilt for choice when it comes to eateries. New kid on the block @HeppniBakeri fast became a firm favourite. Give their delightful pastries a go, you won't regret it! Heppni makes us happi 🧡
