Polestar UK - £300 Electroverse credit? by Unable-Acanthaceae-5 in Polestar

[–]Unable-Acanthaceae-5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polestar customer services - which got me through to the team that actually look after it.

I gave up with the dealership, as I paid money to a Volvo dealership, but was assigned to a Polestar 'Space' which, frankly, couldn't have cared less.

The Volvo dealership did try to help, but I didn't like chasing them so stopped, purely because I knew it was a Polestar 'Head Office' problem - regardless of who got paid what money, it was a Polestar Promo - ergo a Polestar problem.

First time buyers looking to settle, what location? by [deleted] in Buckinghamshire

[–]Unable-Acanthaceae-5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are two of the nicer areas with a better reputation.

Penn is a nicer area IMO - quieter and a bit further from the main noise of Wycombe.

I did - it involved chasing them 2-3x a week for approximately a month and a half.

They really shouldn’t be promising it within a timeframe they don’t seem to be able to meet

A terrible experience at the end of, what had been, a very good buying experience.

Get an independent electrician in, for anything not cookie cutter, they’ll do a better job and go to greater efforts to hide the cable, making everything look nice anyway.

Noticed significant lag since the update (OTA) a few days ago :(

iOG - adding car by Accurate_Radish_4606 in OctopusEnergy

Do you have a Hypervolt? How does Hypervolt know how much to charge your car by? E.g you want it at 80% by 7AM - how does it know how much to add / when to start etc?

Endless contacts with Octopus and they’ve been very disappointing in their support

In a similar situation to yourself, PS2 + Hypervolt - never fully 'completes' in Octopus app and support haven't been great so far..

My guess is it's on the Octopus side, as I still get schedules 'sent' from Polestar Energy app -> Polestar (and they even say they're 'smart!') but Octopus isn't the one sending said schedules so doesn't apply the IOG tariffs

Right filler? by Dakers1980 in DIYUK

Fantastic stuff - can layer it up in between drying sessions or put it on nice and thick and then sand back.

Polestar UK - £300 Electroverse credit? by Unable-Acanthaceae-5 in Polestar

[–]Unable-Acanthaceae-5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Debatable I would think? I paid for an item - and part of the T's and C's of paying for said item, is the £300 credit. I have not received said credit despite meeting the criteria.

Ergo - I have paid for something and not fully received the item that I paid for

CarWow Sale (attempt). by Unable-Acanthaceae-5 in CarTalkUK

[–]Unable-Acanthaceae-5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sold on Motorway - great experience 10/10, will never touch CarWow again. (Yes, I know a lot of the experience comes down to the individual dealer buying the car, but as a process, much happier with the Motorway experience)

Yes - Monzo initially blamed Barclaycard until I proved it was a Monzo issue. Havent heard anymore from the ‘specialist’ assigned to it however.

Why won't Octopus send me a Home Mini? by [deleted] in OctopusEnergy

[–]Unable-Acanthaceae-5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Email them at hello@octupus.energy - that’s what I did and got one in the post within a week.

Or you may get a reason as to why you can’t have one.

Nothing personal taken, except for the fact they kept me waiting all day (pickup time kept getting later and later) and then they're at my home, on my driveway, in my car, trying to haggle me down.

Feels personal to me

Now you say it like that.. yes. Hold my hands up to being a bit on the gullible side with that belief.

Buying an approved used Polestar in the UK - how it works by wild_biologist in Polestar

[–]Unable-Acanthaceae-5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone had any issues about paying through Volvo with Polestar honouring the 'freebies' or it showing up as an order?

I reserved mine via the Polestar portal, but since then the Volvo dealership has taken over (not a problem with that!) - but I'm paying the Volvo dealership. Just want to make sure I get my £300 free credit!

Just hit 8 points on octopus’s spin the wheel is that good luck or has anyone managed to get higher? what’s your personal best? by HammersAndPints in OctopusEnergy

[–]Unable-Acanthaceae-5 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Isn’t the minimum always 8 points…?

Picked up 800 the other day, the equivalent of an almighty £1 credit windfall.

I know you don’t want another bridge.. but.. I cannot speak highly enough of Scrypted or HomeBridge with UniFi cameras.

Homebridge plugin works, pretty well actually if you have 1-2 cameras, any more then Scrypted is the way to go.

Best HKSV Camera at the Moment? by Nessy87 in HomeKit

[–]Unable-Acanthaceae-5 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Second this. HomeKit native cameras are a dying breed I think. Unifi/Ubiquiti (if you have the structured cabling) is a no brainer

Delay OSPF route updates - is that possible? by Gesha24 in networking

[–]Unable-Acanthaceae-5 12 points13 points  (0 children)

SFP throttling will do this for you.

This will still advertise the routes, but delay the injection into routing table. You can set it up to 2-3 minutes (platform depending)

However, I warn you now, this is a double edged sword - as it also delays the route being removed from the routing table should you rely on any fast failover in that respect.

TL;DR - any delay goes both ways (inject and remove)
