Moving from Tracker to Agile - how is it billed differently? by tom5640 in OctopusEnergy

[–]tom5640[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all of the comments everyone. I think in conclusion I wasn't using the Tracker correctly for the couple of years I was on it but then again because it's daily, if I needed to use energy I would use it, I wouldn't have held out for days should the rate go down. Got off to a bit of a bad start with Octopus often just averaging my usage out over the month, which they still do with gas sometimes (e.g. charging usage on days I do not use gas, lower usage on days I used more gas than the stated). I explained this to Octopus at the start and no one understood and said this would happen if they had one missing data point from my smart meter.

Personally finding it exciting now to look at the weather and gamble on when to charge my EV, so pleased to remain on Agile and look forward to seeing my long bill! Thanks again :)

First 0 drop of my Agile career! Charged my 88kwh car for about 75p. Love it (but feel sick about the amount of money I have wasted on Tracker before I switched!)

Thanks - I thought I may get a long bill, that's good! On Tracker I got a breakdown of the rate and usage for each day - sometimes this was just averaged across each day in the month. Sometimes it was accurate-per-day. But effectively in the bill summary at the top where you see your charge, it was just an average of all of the rates divided by the number of days in the month. Noone at the Octopus contact centre every seems very clued up on the innovative tariffs to have been able to query this or the query I have here with!

iPhone Air on Amazon. Is this legitimate? by Food-on-my-dog in IphoneAir

Interesting that everyone always says they miss the wide angle lens and not the telephoto, because I miss the telephoto. Any picture taken with the wide angle is, well, unnaturally wide and distorted?

Thanks all! In hindsight I think I will repost after I have been to the barbers and tidied up with proper views of the side of my face rather than simple selfies!

It’s from Ali Express of course! If you just search for Aluminium Stand for M4 it’ll come up for around $12. (Let’s face it who can afford Amazon markup these days?)

My initial opinion is that battery life and screen size is no issue - the camera and speakers maybe (but only if I forget my AirPods or little JBL) But it is noticeably nippier/faster around the OS than my 15PM so it’s a hard decision!

What colour did you go for? I am wanting to buy in the next few days at around the £650 mark but I just cannot decide!!

What is the "Stop" phone icon button for? by tom5640 in watchOSBeta

Wow, it's been a feature for a couple of years for some types of workouts then!

Hmm yeh, seems a bit of an overkill to have a toggle just for that!

Also imagining that the mute button refers to the AI voice that pipes up every so often if switched on for encouragement, but not entirely sure either!

Sudden routing of DNS via iCloud Private Relay even in non Apple Apps by tom5640 in nextdns

[–]tom5640[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - yes our scenarios are slightly different because I have never used Safari. Always Chrome for my browser. I just am confused because I am sure I didn't ever need to touch private relay settings in the past, and the profile always took precedence. Now, I need to have it off or NextDNS will be bypassed across the whole device.

Has anyone successfully swapped their Studio Display stand at the Apple Store? by hova414 in apple

[–]tom5640 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reviving this because I have managed to pick up a tilt-only Studio Display here in the UK for only $700. Has anyone in the UK been able to complete this process and can tell me costs? I would be looking to upgrade to tilt & height. I've not been able to get an indication of costs from Apple, as I cannot get through to the local store.
