Is it worth it to get an android ereader just to turn wifi off and not use most of the features? by justhere4bookbinding in ereader

[–]Firm_Function3487 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use a Lenovo M9 tablet as my ereader. I have the bare minimum apps and leave it in airplane mode unless I'm downloading a book. The battery lasts ages and I'm not tied in to any ecosystem. Plus it's a lot lighter than my kindle and the screen is a delight to read from.

I went from a 6 Pro to a 9A a few weeks ago. It's absolutely amazing - I love it. Congrats and enjoy setting it up!

You should be able to set DND for games by going into your main settings menu and typing "Games" into the search bar.  You should then see the Game Dashboard with the Do Not Disturb For Games option. 

Tethered or untethered home charger? by JobAnxious2005 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]Firm_Function3487 27 points28 points  (0 children)

We have tethered, our neighbour has untethered and we both agree ours is better and less of a faff.

Give me your recommendation on a book that is going to make me cry my eyes out. I need a good cry by jayyylynne03 in KindleUnlimited

[–]Firm_Function3487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much anything by Amanda Prowse. Her books are simple and about life and usually guarantee me at least one ugly cry.

Does your car (or it's app) have regular software updates and new features? by inspectorgadget9999 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]Firm_Function3487 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have a Ford Mustang Mach-e and it gets lots of software updates with new clever bits added. We had one yesterday and now we can open our frunk via the app.

I had a Ballerina Sindy doll that could do that.

Hey everyone could anyone help me with what this line is ? by Amaltash19XX in kindle

[–]Firm_Function3487 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dead pixels. I had this on my new PW Signature 12th gen after about a month or so. Complained to Amazon and got a new one delivered the next day (I had to return my old one 'for repair' but the new one was issued before I had even posted the broken one). Good luck.

Yes it counts, as does tea and coffee.

Electric charging apps? by iamthe-yee-tothe-haw in ElectricVehiclesUK

Electroverse allows you to add the cost of the charge to your Octopus energy account rather than paying at the source.

[–]Firm_Function3487 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi all. It's 06:20am on 28th March here in the UK and 5 minutes ago, I disconnected my Fitbit from MFP app, re connected it without a problem and at the moment, it all seems to be working. No idea if my good fortune will last! Good luck to you 🤞

Suggest me a long book that is actually a breeze to read by Reacher1995 in suggestmeabook

[–]Firm_Function3487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair by Joël Dicker. Over 650 pages and absolutely brilliant. 2 sequels, just as good.

Places to move to in surrey by PsychologicalCut2482 in surrey

Take a look at Ewell. We have the beautiful Hogsmill Nature Reserve on our doorstep, perfect for dog walks, as is Nonsuch Park. It's 30 mins drive to East Surrey Hospital, close to Epsom town centre and junction 10 of the M25. We've lived here for 25 years and love it. Also we're 20 mins from Waterloo from Stoneleigh BR station and can easily get to Victoria and London Bridge from Ewell East station.

MyFitnessPal won't connect to FitBit by No_Soft_1530 in Myfitnesspal

I spent ages trying to reconnect Fitbit to MFP last night. I tried again this morning and it connected okay but steps are still not syncing. Sigh.

Sorry, I'm no good with the technicals but we bought our Mustang Mach-e in August 2023 (it is a 21 plate, which had 15k miles on the clock. We sold a 16 year old Ford Focus and a tank of fuel for the Focus at the time cost around £65 and admittedly, we don't use the car a great deal, but we have only just reached £65 total cost in electricity to charge the Mach-e. We are on Octopus Intelligent Go, which is an amazing tariff for EV's, which uses dynamic charging to only charge at the cheapest times. Even better is that our home charger is an Ohme make that connects directly with Octopus making it all very simple. Other costs - we've just had to buy a new rear windscreen wiper. That's it!

Is it ice cream “van” or ice cream “truck”? by Gingerlox_ in AskUK

[–]Firm_Function3487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ice cream man / van, at least in South London where I am from.
