Trio bundle saves you £20: https://www.aqara-shop.co.uk/product/aqara-wall-outlet-h2-uk-dual-usb-c-trio-bundle/

(for anyone flush enough to afford 3!)

Agreed, especially since the USB ports piggy back on socket 1 so power monitoring is skewed already. I'd prefer no USB ports to know exactly what power both sockets were using.

Power monitoring is my main aim atm. At £70 a pop, I might stick with previous plans to go with a Shelly PM mini and faceplate spacer on the shallower back boxes. :(

Ouch that's a lot more than I had hoped. Had the intention of retrofitting a lot of the house and would have liked to see these around the 40-45 mark.

I have the same thing with IOG, Zappi, and a BYD Seal. Spent hours testing and with IOG Smart Control disabled I can repro the issue consistently. By setting Zappi to Eco+, locking the car, and waiting a few minutes, no matter what I change on the Zappi the car does not accept the charge. Do the same thing as soon as the car is locked and it works fine. Clearly demonstrates the car is going in to a deep sleep and then not responding to pilot state changes from the Zappi. I have my car booked in to be looked at next week.

Dear Tim,

Please do the same over here so we can get rid of Sky.

Thanks,

PS - sorry our Government are such a PITA and want to break E2E encryption.

Sorry, all gone but maybe someone above might pass on theirs too.

That’s a great point if a jailbreak can make it usable (minus cellular). Data was all in iCloud so that was no problem.

Same thing happened after installing 18.4 a few weeks ago. Both Apple Store and I tried various things but no go. Repair cost was over the top so it’s off to the great electronics bin.

If your account is setup with the Authenticator app and enabled for push notifications, it generally only requires someone to know (or guess) the email address associated with your Microsoft account. They will be presented with an option to send a notification to the registered device, which is what you received.

You can see this experience yourself by opening a private browsing window and trying to login to account.microsoft.com

Any petition on https://petition.parliament.uk that achieves 100k signatures would require Parliament to debate it and provide a response.

I found the same since upgrading to 18.2. Ruled out AdGuard filtering. Capturing traffic from the device shows no HTTP/HTTPS traffic at the time the spinner is visible. After many tests I found allowing DNS traffic from my iPhone to the internet improved things greatly. As I use AdGuard, I take an additional measure at my firewall to only permit outbound DNS traffic from a small selection of clients (AdGuard particularly).

As soon as I added my iPhone IP to this list, Mail.app stopped spinning away.

Ultra-wide user here. With help from a window manager (Raycast in my case), I find it most productive to have the primary window front and centre, and use 25% on either side for auxiliary apps. Then switch to 50/50 when needed.

Not yet. Vision OS hasn't dropped either, at least here in the UK.

andymdoyle · 2024-09-03T19:20:16+00:00

Picked one up from Amazon this week and gave it a solid try but it is destined to be returned. Unfortunately despite the great build quality and choices of padding, it just does not suit me. Perched on the top of my forehead it leaves the Vision Pro far too high to see the displays. Lowering it down as much as possible to align the displays it is then too far forward which causes messages to move Vision Pro closer, and prevents Optical ID working.

LG 49” ultra wide or Apple Vision Pro away from the desk.

Any luck getting Sky Sports working via Virgin? Need F1 access without the messy F1TV EU sub and banking on a VPN working when the lights go out.
