I'm so old there is probably new evidence available since I was at uni, which shows conclusively that hard determinism holds in all situations.

It's true that indeterminism has been observed on the subatomic level. However, it has never been observed above that, so even if it does exist, it ostensibly has no effect on the larger deterministic universe.
I know a lot of physicists think it's more likely that what is happening is a problem with our ability to observe and not actual indeterminism though
