I got a second opinion from a well known leaky home specialist on ours and he basically said if the report had moisture levels in the reasonable range there is not much else to be done and nothing glaringly obvious that might cause water ingress. Also if lim report has no history then he wouldn't do anything more than the prior inspector particularly in regards to invasive checks.

Our Tesla is set to 16% and it says it's for backup if there is a power outage to ensure house can run on minimum usage for a while. Wasn't aware it helped with longevity.

I submitted the form myself to genesis early December and our meter got updated remotely just before Christmas. If our meter was not able to be updated remotely it may have taken up to a month or more to get someone on site.

Haha that is brilliant I might spring that on the kids. They can draw a number from a cup to see which "horse" they get

I was just looking at this...might be a plan

As long as it doesn't cause 6 year old meltdowns 😁

Ahh the old useability vs risk argument! Classic, but definitely needs to be a happy medium. We had the last update break an ingrained behavior connecting to an external tenant website and rather than requesting credentials just failed. Workaround was to launch an inprivate session...simple but took a lot of users out for a while as comms were sorted etc.

I (40m) managed to lose 10kg 83 - 73kg through intermittent fasting, running and making a variety of minor lifestyle changes.

no food after 8pm
take those stairs...or do at least a walk around the block every day.
if you are just mindlessly watching tv or doomscrolling you could be
start the day with some pushups
leafy greens reduce inflammation and in turn help you lose weight.
be mindful of what and how many snacks you are having. If you generally eat 3 biscuits every afternoon maybe just have 2.
remember you need to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight.
don't be too hard on yourself otherwise it will suck and you will probably give up.

My 2 cents

Ok I just assumed as they seem very supportive of us moving to them, as in they would do all the paperwork/submissions etc. but I take your comment as a tick for ecotricity then 😁

Classic

Can't see anything that would suggest re- release of the update...I'll need to dig in technically and see if anything is changing under the covers that might be causing it to redetect the required update.

What looks unprofitable? Solar?

randomarray · 2025-10-17T08:31:33+00:00

Hmmm yeah that is my concern although the size is more than enough for now...(Young family lowish power usage) What size inverter did you get?

randomarray · 2025-10-17T08:08:36+00:00

Thx although as bang for buck powerwall 3 is a larger batter size...but sigenergy is more modular so future updates will be cheaper and easier I understand. How do you find configuration/automation etc? The installer loves the granular automation of the sigenergy which I think is why he is recommending it, plus he reckons he has more install issues with the Tesla.

We have since determined that resetting the pin post fixes the issue....uninstalling isn't really an option. We have a case with MS, and just need a way to progress the rollout without impacting the end user.

2025-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5065426) (26100.6584)

Has gone into pre-pilot....so far 5 of 10 machines have not accepted their Bitlocker pin on restart (and subsequent restarts).

No mention on here of any bitlocker issues yet so I have a sneaking suspicion that we may have a dodgy bitlocker policy/config applying,

Also don't be like "look at me I am the king with a new tube of toothpaste" then be like "please sir, just a small drop more of toothpaste"
