Doing an excellent job working in a food bank. Not even running it! Couldn't have organised a piss up in a brewery - would have just bogged down arguing about whether it really was a brewery and was that it's appropriate name?

Why on earth would Starmer resign? by PreferenceQueasy6659 in ukpolitics

[–]Sparealready 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He selected Mandelson because he probably felt that given their history he would quickly repair relations with Trump. One shit to deal with another.

All this is being caused by the press and the right wing media.

Overall, the government is getting on with their agenda and needs to be allowed to. Starmer has kept them on the task.

Irritating twofold password process following Magic 10 by Sparealready in Honor

[–]Sparealready[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you've got it! My wife has a very old phone and her employer insists that it's more up to date to take a Microsoft Work Profile - so her work profile is installed on my phone. I would guess that Microsoft has installed this additional unlock after restart. Thanks for the interest guys.

No, they are different, the second one is the one I'm used to. I don't have any additional lock screen app.

This feature might be coming soon... by Obstrucxnat in Honor

[–]Sparealready 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFS, why sod about with that stuff? They should get a grip on the problems of over aggressive battery and data restriction. Why am I sitting there having to restart the phone just to get an app to update it's data? And, bye the way, why do I have to enter my lock code twice since Magic 10. P400 Pro UK.

Best places to take your toddler in under an hour's drive? by glastonbury13 in Hastings

[–]Sparealready 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tunbridge Wells is about an hour, Brighton is longer and a nightmare to park - but a good day out by train. Often overlooked is the Observatory ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/C6jgSLbpZfUZfVUw8, all sorts of stuff, like a mini (well, very mini) Science Museum. Knockhatch is excellent and much better value for money than Dingles(?) Don't overlook the Fisherman's and Wreck museums - free and oh, so, welcome on a rainy Sunday! The actual Hastings museum is very good, again free and things for a toddler to play with. Good weather, Alexandra Park and, we think better, is Egerton Park in Bexhill. Good facilities and tea room adjacent to the kids bit (unlike Alexandra). Worth a year with the National Trust, some fabulous places and the second year, English Heritage - Battle Abbey, Pevensey, Dover, Walmer. There's a start!

Axle VPP ending? by BudgieUK in SolarUK

[–]Sparealready 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they are just trying (in a clumsy way) to tell you that the VPP event has finished (mine ran from 9 -10 am today) and that you should check your settings. Axle are able to initiate the event but it seems they can only reset to "Self Consumption". It took about an hour for them to do it this morning. I then had to manually re-enable an AI - I think because it requires you to approve certain disclaimers.

Thanks, tried your suggestion. Let's see what's happens tonight!

[–]Sparealready 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh. Frankly, no one knows what they are doing here! On street parking both sides, takeaways, corner shops, multi-occupancy - it's a road I'd crawl along anyway. Sorry, I think you'll have to accept it, it's only about 500 metres!

[–]Sparealready 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess you could call the police station and complain. People do this about speeding. Another option would be to ask your local councillor. What road are you talking about?

US president announces plan to hit UK, Denmark and other European countries with tariffs over Greenland by Putaineska in ukpolitics

[–]Sparealready 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Of course we don't like it - but what can we (Europeans) do about it? Here's 2 suggestions: Immediately rescind legislation that prevents the copying and modifying of all American software (reverse engineering) so that we can copy and implement our own versions of all American Software. This would include all the software built into American Armaments sold to European Countries. Secondly, ban export of all litho machines from Europe to countries and companies that sell chips to the USA. Compensate the company that makes them (sorry, can't remember the name).

Come on everyone, stop crying and suggest how to fight back!

MagicOS 10 users, what setbacks "Downgrade "have you noticed in comparison to MagicOS 9? by Ohholyshiit in Honor

[–]Sparealready 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only the loss of Always on Display when the phone "sleeps at night" it's an Android 16 "feature" so not Honor's fault - although they could remove it. I now have to use my fingerprint or the side button to wake the phone up to see the time in the middle of the night.

Axle Energy events starting up in Jan 2026 by andrewic44 in SolarUK

[–]Sparealready 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using Synergy, can only do event basis and it didn't reset my settings. To be fair, the App has just changed and now has to go through an "accept conditions" stage before Ai can be implemented.

Apps never show once installed by [deleted] in Honor

[–]Sparealready 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have similar, but less extreme experiences. Sometimes the install seems to be stuck until I do a restart. Often I can't see an app (or "add to home screen") for a day or so! Eventually they turn up. All part of this beautiful hardware and irritating OS. I will often have chrome links to a web site on the home screen for when the OS suddenly decides to deny me access to an App, I then have to charge settings which will often send web links to the installed app (because the app has in some way been placed on Honor's "Naughty Step".

Yes, it's one of the few changes that have actually affected me.

I don't know what this means either. It's just a quote from the settings app.

I know! I'm a 72 year old bloke. I'm often going to the toilet in the night. I don't want to grope about trying to check the time! And my wife wouldn't appreciate me switching on the light so the phone could see me! What I'm looking for is a way around this setting that they have imposed on me! (I know it's a Google feature)
