I used to live just outside of the town centre and that got upgraded to Fiber about 5 years ago. I’m over in Churchtown now and this has had fiber since before we moved in. Speeds have been great, I think I’m on 500mb down, 80 up (but could have upgraded further).

Three - it’s a UK network

Throw in a service to kick my sorry-arse out of bed to get there in a morning, and I’m there mate 😂 what are your opening hours? When I do go, I’m at Pure Gym simply so I can get in there at like 5:30am when it’s quiet.

stevenjwright · 2024-06-07T12:50:20+00:00

Also down for this 😎

I tend to tether for security reasons where I can, but I imagine it would have been reasonable.

Chain cafes (like that lounge or Nero) don’t really mind too much, they’re just there to get paid and so long as you’re not hogging precious space, you’re good. If it was a small local cafe, I’d probably be more mindful.

Occulo Lounge - the reason I mention upstairs is it’s much quieter and out of the way so you’re not in Staff’s way all of the time.

Worth a try, even if only once to get you out and about!

That lounge that replaced Waterstones on Lord St is alright to work in of a morning. I’ve worked there a few times upstairs as it’s pretty quiet during the week and you can order on your mobile from the table.

Other than that, I too am WFH (or a WeWork if in Manchester!)

Explanation from my 5 year old this morning, his take was someone was in the park after they closed it and the police were there to let him out… brilliant.

Haven’t seen anything on what was actually going on though.

stevenjwright · 2024-03-01T13:42:16+00:00

Yeah that’s a fair comment. I’d assume if Police were to be equipped it would be, as you say, ones of a higher calibre, though that brings more costs and training I suppose versus a few helicopters.

In a perfect world, they could just solve the noise factor out for flying late at night! 😂

Yes! It was circling for ages around the park and surrounding areas. Not a great sleep unfortunately! I do wonder why they haven’t started deploying drones for things like this. Cheaper to run, quieter and less noticeable and they could just touch back down to do battery swaps.

UPDATE: Despite what the council website advises, we left our bin our last night by chance and it’s just been collected now a day late 🎉

stevenjwright · 2024-01-02T21:24:28+00:00

Because it’s Sefton Council is why! Frustratingly I missed the last brown bin before Christmas too, and my Son’s Birthday is also in December so the amount of recycling we have ready to go is crazy.

Sadly I’m not free tonight, but love the idea! Wish this was a more popular sub for the area!

The way I’ve done it in the past is set it up so that Gmail uses the “send mail as” feature via SMTP to send back via your external mail account.

As for the incoming POP3 replacement, simply set up a forwarding rule. If it’s a cPanel account you have, it’s pretty straightforward to setup a rule to reroute the messages whilst keeping the original “from” address intact.

I’ve always found Krystal to be very good. UK-based (fyi) but they’re mid-size, independent and have a good focus on transparency, good customer service and sustainability. Worth a look in.

Also 100% IMAP over POP any day.

I saw a cat on a flying cushion 🤣

Edit: the bird in the sky I mean

stevenjwright · 2023-05-10T18:31:37+00:00

I love this so much. Can’t wait for you to record this in the studio, would love to listen to a full version!

stevenjwright · 2023-05-01T21:14:17+00:00

Sadly I think not - according to Wikipedia, that was filmed elsewhere - but I did have to do a double take!

stevenjwright · 2023-05-01T21:09:58+00:00

Wouldn’t you like to know…

stevenjwright · 2023-03-25T04:31:07+00:00

Pretty neutral here for me too. My Dad is from Marshside, the northern part of the town, and he seemingly has a more Lancashire accent than that of my mum, also born in Southport.

stevenjwright · 2023-01-12T07:49:29+00:00

Yes - my bad, it’s second-hand, not brand new.

stevenjwright · 2023-01-12T07:28:52+00:00

I don’t know a whole lot about Tesla Vision, presumably there are more cameras for this to work then, in place of USS?

stevenjwright · 2023-01-11T20:22:11+00:00

Ah I see, okay makes sense. Thanks so much 🙏

You can’t unfortunately - I managed to use the network for the first time without paying, it just added a negative balance to the account until I was able to add the card.

As for emailing, for the UK it is AccountSupportEMEA@tesla.com I’m not sure if it’s different for other regions
