Technology only works “ some “ of the time 🤣😁👍

???? I’m connected wirelessly to my hub ( intranet ) ; though actually I have a mesh network . A wired connection would give me that 900mpbs

Yeah BT can be twats . My 900mbps was 18 months late so I am due compensation. They are playing me so gone to the ombudsman ( like I did with Scottish power ) - a win for me is guaranteed . Just for @SteamyTea …. I’m on WiFi aswell so this is slow 🤣

I think you need a robot vacuum. All good until it gets stuck or just does something twatish . Great fun to swear at though 😁

No I haven’t . I can guess what an arrogant , obnoxious , (expletive deleted) , (expletive deleted) wit he was / is …

Think I hate him more than I hate Alexa

Never knew they existed ! Interesting !!

I know non technical people who ‘ over use ‘ Alexa . Go to their house and it’s “ Alexa play Spotify in the kitchen “ ” Alexa notification xxxx “ ” Alexa turn on kitchen light “ Alexa , Alexa ffs ! With a simple app /web interface can do all that quicker and without noise . Appreciate the simplicity suits some but it is annoying “ Alexa shut the (expletive deleted) up “

Nah - hate chatting all the time to Alexa / Siri right pita

Precisely. Automation means it just happens . There are exceptions to a limited extent e.g turning on a tv requires a ‘button push ‘ somewhere . But if that action causes amp to turn on , curtains to close , lights to dim - then that’s as ‘automated ‘ as that task can be for the moment.

Looks shite . Get something similar on EBay from land of the rising sun for 10 dollar .

You’re from Cornwall therefore you have no life .

I’m the only one who can play 4 player Bomberman and gauntlet . Nothing more fun than 4 people sat round that with beer shouting at each other 😁

Right ! I ain’t having that ! Use to have an original phoenix cocktail and around 50 Jamma boards . Sold them for considerable profit once mame etc. became acceptable too me . So now have this bad boy . I7 with 1tb drive . 150,000+ games and every emulator there is . SWMBO said it had to “ look cute “ , as her favourite games is bubble bobble …..

I used to be a software engineer so all this stuff is fun ( SWMBO would disagree ) . Obviously if it’s not your thing it’s going to be a learning curve of epic proportions. Reality is you probably don’t need 99% of it . Bought solutions can be expensive, don’t always do what you want , rely on the manufacture/ developer , or are just poor .

10 ip cameras home automation server se battery pw battery doorbird usual tv stuff 6 raspberry pi’s ( doing a variety of things ) EV charger 3 macs 2 windows pc ( yuck ) 4 iPads there’s an easy 20+

I do 😁👍

Yeah I got bored and ended up watching Bluey ( kids program not a ‘ blue ‘ movie )

I watched your effort - it was rubbish. Like my £15 “ pay per view “ back please .

If I want to spend a zillion quid on anything I will . From now on in honour of you I shall not use kw / kwH or any variation - I shall use CT . That’s Cream Tea ; a Cornish delicacy. Universal Notation can also fit in the middle .

Yesterday SWMBO decided to try and use a gigawatt of lecky . Everything on including oven as she goes on a “ bake off “ bender . Reasonable Pv generation yesterday. Yet I had to set the SE to manually discharge or we’d start pulling from the grid at a zillion quid a kw . So after that I set SE to charge from the grid at off peak . Pw and SE both low going into the night . It worked ! No issues - both took from the grid simultaneously!

Grouting colour choice came from a higher power . All men yield in the face of such superiority. Oss .

Yes . I only do big boy stuff now . I choose my own path oh master to determine my own fate . Oss
