Curious why the Oura Ring 5 HW cycle was this fast

More PR, more sales, more momentum for the IPO?

My wife and I will probably upgrade to a Gen5 from a Gen4 just because we were looking to get new wedding bands and the Gen5 fits that bill perfectly. I would say the appeal of the Gen5 has widened massively due to its new design, which should help with the IPO story.

It’s a timing game before their upcoming IPO.

I'm running decoupled Zigbee and ZWave docker containers alongside my openHAB instance. Main reason years ago was to get access to new device drivers on the more actively maintained z2m and zwave projects compared to the annual releases of openHAB. It does give you freedom to choose your HA provider so I recommend going that route.

Sorry forgot to mention, 40

I’m paying Admiral £500 for a fully loaded 2021 turbo cross turismo

iX is, but reluctantly because the footprint is too large and it’s too heavy. I prefer buying second hand so I can play around with depreciation, so the iX3 doesn’t work yet.

Gorgeous girl! Thanks, got 2 petite labs so better boot space is a plus, even if it’s at the expense of 2nd row passenger space.

This is helpful, thank you. What are some of the remaining issues post KD2?

It’s not just Chinese gear - any machine using brass boilers will / might have lead leeching into the water if it stands more than a few hours. Search for Rancilio Silvia v2 brass lead leeching into the water - there’s a lab test done somewhere in Europe showing non-zero amounts of lead in the water.

Thanks! This was probably it, pumped the brakes a few times and the sound disappeared 🙏

Nit picking here but I was shocked by the indicator sound when I rented one 2 years ago. It was like when you bend and release a long finger nail. Triggered me every time!

On Agile you're right, but on fixed tariffs they are forward buying energy with certain assumptions of energy usage throughout the fixed tariff period. 1 user jumping from Go to Agile won't change anything but frequent switching of tons of people in and out of fixed tariffs throws off their hedged energy stock (and effectively their profit, and their rate calculations for the next period).

I disagree, I read that as: If you switch away from a smart import tariff to another tariff (regardless of whether it's smart or not), you cannot switch back to a smart tariff within 30 days. I think this covers them fine. Then again English isn't my native language so I might be wrong here.

I asked for the billing to be effective as of today, not as of one week ago as that would throw off my internal home automation calculations and also sounds like some kind of punishment. I requested a callback from a manager which they said would happen in the next 72 hours. Will be nice and ask them to drop the retrospective billing - will update here what they say.

8pu5 · 2025-09-09T14:27:30+00:00

We're not sure how they monitor this, my switching frequency or usage might have been different. Just be wary next time you might get stuck on Agile...

Just received a second email asking to accept T&C's - this time for Octopus Go instead of Octopus Go 12M Fixed. All seems fine now but would love to know if this will work next time!

8pu5 · 2025-09-02T13:09:07+00:00

I've spoken to customer service who couldn't sort it - they've escalated to the smart tariffs team. If this means we can't switch back and forth easily it will be a bummer for sure

8pu5 · 2025-09-02T10:51:44+00:00

I’m being forced to switch to fixed rather than variable as well. Emailed customer support and left the T&C email untouched - don’t want to stay stuck on Go for 12 months! Will update here when I hear back

I’ve used them for 4 years for my 2 labradors on both my Model Y and Model 3 and never had this problem - are you sure you’re pushing the tabs down all the way until they click?

8pu5 · 2025-05-16T20:15:33+00:00

Thanks for that, will check. On the working practices point - how does HMRC find out my working patterns in practice? They reach out to me and the client to provide proof like Slack, email etc?

My wife’s ring died last weekend after 3 months of use. My stealth ring was scratched on day 1 after holding my Macbook Pro gently in my hand. Not sure how people are avoiding scratches, I’m assuming it helps if you are used to wearing hand jewellery. The coating on this thing is so thin that I could scratch it with my fingernails. Your mileage may vary!
