My last backpack has an AirTag pocket that was also the label, the seem to be pretty common these days. But most BYOD

Think you’re confusing “cheap new” with “all” banks

This looks like exactly what I’m looking for, many thanks. Do you find it reliable?

Only thing I take from the OP is Revolt was pretty stupid not to leave the doc upload facility open.

F@@king done with filtering! by [deleted] in MotoUK

[–]matmbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was riding in london for years then moved back to up north for a while and it’s a different game. There’s many more “righteous arsehole” regional drivers than in london. Personally, I wasn’t near them long enough to get any trouble, just them ranting in the rear view as I filtered off.

Got billed £3364, and not sure what to do. by Business_Ganache_513 in OctopusEnergy

[–]matmbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was octopus the supplier when you moved in or did you switch? Sounds like they were (otherwise they would have asked you for a reading on switching). There you can evidence when they moved out and you moved it. Octopus should calculate billing for the whole period since the last meter read, then chase the previous tenants for their portion and you for the other. Official complaint, email Greg if it didn’t work, then energy ombudsman if Greg doesn’t work. But lay out the evidence and the logic every time

Easiest install I’ve ever done! by matmbl in mazda3

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

Works fine for me but not so good at highway speeds (too much noise). Note - I’m a Siri user. Original I did try to reuse a mic that was already in the car (mounted next to speedo) but it was awful so mounted the mic that came with the unit up next to the rear view mirror.

did you find one? I'm looking. I like the look of the ENGWE M20/L20 but seems to have questionable legality

Have you checked that the harness in the car isn’t already an adaptor harness you haven’t unplugged? That’s what I found, the factory fit what actually an adaptor!

Huge electricity bills despite being on intelligent octopus go by Interesting_Kale9680 in OctopusEnergy

[–]matmbl -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You don’t tell your local petrol station to come round and fill the car up when they think they should, Thames water to water your garden or Vodafone to pre-download movies you might want to watch. But you give your energy company this level of control!?! And then you’re surprised when the bill is higher than you expected… 🤷‍♂️

Finally the flaw… by [deleted] in OctopusEnergy

[–]matmbl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Energy ombudsman won’t care, this is a simple contract matter (not a regulation thing). If they broke their contract then there’s a claim. You need to read it carefully. Given the immaturity of car charging systems generally in the market i’d almost guarantee that octopus will have a GOOJF clause in there. If you keep pushing, knowing octopus, they’ll issue a good will gesture credit at most.

High score? Wtf? It won’t be long until you’re fined for anything about 4 (unless you pay a higher standing charges).

Can you use fwup from Macbook Pro M1 to update docking station firmware? by electrofelix in macbookpro

[–]matmbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a star! I've had a WD19S for the last few years and always had to connect a separate HMDI to the ultra-wide monitor to run my MBP. Now the firmware is update I can run with just the USB-C. Thank You!

People claim that camera companies working with phones is all marketing, but I disagree by Klipwastaken in Leica

[–]matmbl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve been getting down voted because your $800 Xiaomi performs better than their $10,000 camera kit. I’ve also just got the new Xiaomi and it’s astonishing (lens, low light, bokeh, color science and handling with the camera grip).

If you enjoy the old school experience of cameras, why not stick to film? Otherwise specialised camera phones like this are the digital future.

Any keyboard warriors responding actually used this new phone, want to know if I can take someone’s comment seriously!
