If there was a big rent button that would just demolish the internet,
I would smash that button with my forehead.
From the BBC, this is The Interface,
the show that explores how tech is rewiring your weak and your world.
This isn't about quarterly earnings or about tech reviews.
It's about what technology is actually doing to your work, your politics,
your everyday life, and all the bizarre ways people are using the internet.

Hello, we're recording this episode of newscast on Wednesday, the 18th of February, mid-afternoon.
And it's a day where we got a serious look at the next phase of Reform UK.
So on Tuesday, they unveiled their shadow spokespeople, putting the big names and the big jobs.
And today, one of them, Robert Jenrick,
who describes himself as the shadow chancellor for Reform UK, was doing a speech in the city.
It was very serious, much less razzmatazzi than some other reform events,
much less kind of punchy
because it was designed to send a message of reassurance to businesses and the banks and institutions that lend the British government money that they would be okay
if reform were in government.
And he also talked about a whole load of policies reformer thinking of introducing when it comes to the economy and the public finances.
So we thought this would be a really good day to drill into what reform actually want to do when it comes to the economy and running the nation's balance sheet.
