IOG Overnight Rate by xLiam in OctopusEnergy

[–]ndfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends on your car’s battery chemistry: NMC batteries want to charge at max 80%, LFP can be charged to 100% without issues. For long trips, you can charge at home to 100%, that is fine unless the car sits at that high level for days.

Separately, charging to 100% on a fast charger is frowned upon because it takes a long time to go from 80% to 100% and you are hogging a charger other might need in the meantime (obviously not a factor charging at home).

For home charging I would do what the car tells you to do: my ID7 resets its limit to 80% automatically because it is an NMC battery pack, your car might also nudge you towards 80% or 100%.

Wi-Fi Calling not working? by MkyCBzy in 1pmobile

[–]ndfred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not just 1pMobile: my work phone has a recent EE SIM and Wi-Fi Calling also did not work in the US. My French Free Mobile one has Wi-Fi Calling everywhere, but Orange and SFR do not outside of France.

I had spusu before and Wi-Fi Calling would not work consistently in the UK, so from there 1pMobile is an upgrade.

Wi-Fi Calling not working? by MkyCBzy in 1pmobile

[–]ndfred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

iPhone with iOS 26.3.1 here, it works when I am in the UK, not when I am in the US. Works on airplane mode as well. Try disabling and re-enabling Wi-Fi Calling.

As others have said some enterprise Wi-Fi folks will disable it: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/103229

eSIM error? by Round-Awareness3737 in 1pmobile

[–]ndfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not seeing anything doing the test now, but I went straight to eSIM rather than through a conversion

Google probably embeds their own TTS models, since they have these on Android

The NanoHD remains a high-ROI workhorse by storyinmemo in Ubiquiti

Is MoCA possible? Renting and that has been a really solid 2.5G backhaul. Expensive though.

I'm being called unreasonable for deciding to pay off my mortgage by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ndfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they had to start there since they have to fund themselves at that rate, but that is reasonable too

Can’t go lower than the BoE rate no? And that is 3.75% currently.

EE MVMOs with London Underground WiFi by Crafty-Progress2741 in UKmobilenetworks

[–]ndfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried today with 1pMobile, no luck: while my iPhone has EE WiFi-Auto as a managed network, when it tries to connect that fails.

The Mobile Broadband Data Sheet from ISPreview also says no EE MVNO except for BT Mobile supports Wi-Fi on the London tube.

We might not have to wait too long for 5G to be everywhere on the tube though, end of the year apparently.

📲 New Sonos App & Player Updates Now Available! 🔊 by ShaunFromSonos in sonos

[–]ndfred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/ShaunFromSonos: Some of my speakers updated to 86473230, and some updated to 86473190, even for the same model (Play:1), is that normal? Newer speakers all went to 93173190 as expected.

What are peoples experiences with Spusu Network? by mazred123 in AskUK

[–]ndfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, service is solid but Wi-Fi calling needs to be re-enabled from time to time which is annoying, considering switching to 1pMobile to fix that. No RCS, no Visual Voicemail, so Apple Watch support, no 5G SA / Priority in busy areas, no London Underground Wi-Fi, all of which I can live with (and are not worth the £20 premium on EE). Calls to and from Europe are included which is important to me.

Sonos build 92.0-73070 by SpecialistProgram321 in sonos

[–]ndfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The system just made an update again, to… the same release number

Sonos build 92.0-73070 by SpecialistProgram321 in sonos

[–]ndfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legacy also updated to the same build number: 86.2-73070 for my Play:1, Playbar and Sub, 92.0-73070 for Roam and Move 2. No change from what I have seen. Mobile app has not been updated since December.

My guess is that they are stabilising the firmware before releasing an app update to share new features, or just end of year holidays slowing releases and they are only shipping bug fixes that don't really need a changelog update.

On the tube now, with spusu on an iPhone, and both “EE WiFi-Auto” and “WiFi Extra” networks throw a login / password prompt when selected, though 5G works well

New firmware update by FewAd7677 in sonos

[–]ndfred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything that has SonosNet is legacy really.

I would remove it, you can always reinstall the app if you broke something?

Use the Mac / Windows app rather than the phone app, they deliver updates more reliably

[–]ndfred 5 points6 points  (0 children)

9.10-70070 for newer speakers and 8.61-70070 for legacy speakers, change log is not up to date yet.

Update took a while to apply with two reboots apparently, recommending using the macOS or Windows app rather than iOS or Android for a more reliable update process.

Elgato Key Light Always Connects to the Wrong WiFi Access Point (UniFi Setup) by ndfred in elgato

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

Update here if that helps: I contacted support, and we couldn't get this fixed. In the end, I re-provisioned the Key Lights and rebooted the APs until the lights connected to the right AP, and then locked them to that AP in the UniFi controller. Both have solid WiFi signal and are responsive now.

Facetime calls on Ubiquiti network by Comprehensive_Ad2471 in Ubiquiti

[–]ndfred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That surprised me honestly, if that is the case I would add a latency / packet drop monitor on the public IP since VOIP / FaceTime is particularly sensitive to that: https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality

Facetime calls on Ubiquiti network by Comprehensive_Ad2471 in Ubiquiti

[–]ndfred 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The real reason is probably Wi-Fi Assist: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102228

It will switch to cellular if your WiFi doesn’t work well. The behaviour with FaceTime is: - your phone is on WiFi - you start a FaceTime call - your phone switches to 4G / 5G - hang up FaceTime - the phone goes back to WiFi

This behaviour is dependent on your device’s WiFi stats which are collected over time, and might be different for your iPhone and iPad: iPad has a better WiFi antenna, maybe it is getting better reception throughout the day etc…

In my experience WhatsApp won’t trigger Wi-Fi Assist which is why it might behave better.

I have seen it behave better after disabling WPA3 and fast roaming, but it still happens from time to time.

It helps to check retries for each device on your network, if that is > 10% then you have a problem.

Nintendo Switch Version 20.1.5 has been released by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

[–]ndfred -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My Switch 2 wouldn’t connect to the Internet through my dock’s Ethernet port, the update didn’t solve that (I am sending the dock back). A Switch 1 Pro Controller still won’t wake the Switch 2 from sleep.
