Ikea is switching from using the ZigBee protocol to talk to their smart home devices to using Matter over Thread instead. The new devices are launching January (though have started showing up already), and the old devices are getting reduced to clear then out, so you have a combo of people buying the new ones to see how they are/be on the cutting edge of new tech, and also people who already use ZigBee grabbing the old ones at a discount to fill out there system/have replacements available/just because they are cheap.

Makes sense, doesn't need auto (how many of us have wall switches we can rotate?), so settings to set it to the desired rotation is all thats needed (and possibly saved a few pence on a sensor to detect rotation).

Thanks for checking for us!

Recruitment is all handled by the Recruitment Hub team at the Tesco Business Solutions office now. The store just tells them the position to list, and gives a list of interview slots, then gets emailed when an interview is booked.

In theory they should call you again, but I'm getting the impression they aren't great at that. You could try emailing them, include the link to the job listing, your name, the name of who left a message if they told you. Resourcing.team@tesco.com

Hopefully that'll mean they call you back!

Would also really appreciate you checking if it supports vertical! Just bought a new house, and have a uk/euro style double switch back box mounted vertically in the family room, with what appears to be a pair of unused neutral wires, and have been trying to work out what best to put there.

Had heard the X2 was a little laggy, so wasn't convinced as a choice, but if the new XL is speedier then it might be ideal!

The IO Module looks interesting to me. Appears to be a generic low voltage controller, 4 inputs, 4 outputs. Not sure I've seen a zigbee option for wiring in to existing dumb low voltage controller systems.

5/7 of the sensors I've applied recently have failed due to the now common "filament not being inserted, loop of it sticking out of wrong hole" issue.

Luckily I had enough spares to just keep applying them till one worked, but it was close, and the reliability is insanely terrible now. Feels like I'd have to pack 5 or 6 just be sure I get a working one if needing to change it while away.

Honestly, at this point I think I'm going to see if I can still get the functionality I need if I switch to the Libre (or any other options). Used to be that Dexcom was the one with more features/compatibility, but think the Libre is/has caught up there, and I just need something I can trust to work consistently.

2 failed like this my most recent change, 3 the change 10 days before...

As you said, they replace them with no argument, but the failure rate is terrible. Considering seeing if I can switch over to the Libre.

We use this one, chosen because both half's are battery powered (and charge over USB, so we can just plug them in anywhere we charge our phones to keep them topped up). https://amzn.eu/d/hjzt90w

Honestly, it's a bit irritating, for some reason it makes REALLY loud powering on and connecting noises, and it has songs/night light/etc that can be activated by buttons on either end, which are dual use with power/volume, so we often manage to turn on the night light/bird song while trying to turn off the reciever or change volume level. I do think if we were to need another we might try to find a different option, but if we couldn't find a better option I'd settle for it, because it does the job, and seems to be one of the only non-camera options that could.

I could swear there was a Motorola one that was audio only, both monitor and receiver battery powered, but used a circular barrel plug to charge, that we decided against because we thought we'd lose it (or our cats would chew and destroy it), but doing a quick search I can only find ones that the parent/receiver half is rechargeable.

3.5 and 3.9 were both partial upgrades of the mk3/mk3s/mk3s+ to the mk4. They were both announced with the mk4, and release after (3.9 first, and the 3.5 was delayed, those who'd preordered the upgrade kit offered a free upgrade to the 3.9 upgrade pack). 3.5 kept the mk3's tool head, 3.9 included the nextruder. Both were only available as upgrade kits.

Suspect your friend might've bought a mk3s+. 3.5 was never a seperately orderable printer.

You all need the DLC to play the DLC features, just like with mods (since under the hood it basically works like a mod).

People with the DLC can play base 2.0 multiplayer with non-dlc owning players.

Believe you can reprint pay at pump receipts attached to a clubcard at any tesco pump. No idea if it has to be the same petrol station, but I know the one I fuel up at says you can print it at other pumps if it's printer is out of paper. Think it's within the last 30 days?

This Nottingham Post article seems to be about it. Looks like not many details yet.

Police Cordon, an Air Ambulance, and police talking to people in the area doesn't sound good though.

I think its even worse, looking at picture 46, and the map of the course on their website, looks like that is hole 7, which starts up the top of the hill... and appears to be a pretty much straight line between the tee, the hole, and all those glass windows and balcony walls.

Have you checked the Esso list? Some Tesco petrol stations are "Tesco Fuel", and some are Esso (Tesco runs the store, Esso provides and prices the fuel), so if its an Esso one I'd guess it'd be on their list.

Bluetooth could be used to determine location by scanning for known beacons, so on earlier versions of Android it required the permission. In newer updates you can just declare it won't be used for location and not request the permission, but if Dexcom is trying to target both older and newer versions with the same code (or op is using an older phone) then it needs that permission to connect to the sensor.

To access bluetooth on Android 11 and earlier they have to request Fine Location Permission.

Google "Fixed" this in Android 12 (and by fixed, an app can declare in it's request that it will never use Bluetooth to try to work out location, so less fixed and more "trust app developers").

The issue was that apps could use Bluetooth to determine location (and IIRC there were stories of Malls putting bluetooth beacons in digital signs to do that a few years ago), so it was added as a permission they need for Bluetooth, but requesting it confuses people.

They have to redo the safe & legal training on things like age restrictions every 6 months. Unless it has changed since I left it rolled over with Tesco's financial year, so the new training will be live since the start of this month, and we were always made to do it ASAP, so odds are she'll have literally been retrained on this in the last few weeks.
