The feature where you can hold the phone comfortably in one hand and without having to do any gymnastics to reach the top corner.

I guess you'll need to go back at least 40 years. Even so, if the belt or motor breaks then the washing machine doesn't work either.

That could happen to the washing machine whether it's "smart" or not.

You'll need a broadcasting licence for that, mate.

c2c being the name of the train operator. I know it's in the article but it sounds like some kind of acronym in the title.

We're off to Center Parcs for 4 nights. We haven't been before so we're quiet looking forward to it! Normally we go away for a couple of weeks to Cornwall but we didn't bother this year.

My son is extremely excited for the pool which I've heard great things about from anyone who's been.

Blame the shitty UK legislation. Bluesky, Reddit etc are just complying with it.

Lemmy.zip blocks uk users on its front end but I think its contents is still federated.

All zero tourists must be furious.

Honestly I have no idea. I guess they could just block it if they don't comply?

Yeah I think that's what they'll be doing, seeing what the impact is to usage and also iron out any kinks before it gets rolled out to everyone.

 

I'm thinking of getting solar panels and a battery for our house.

What's your setup like, and is there anything you wish you'd set up differently if you were going to install it again? What supplier are you with?

A company extremely local to us is offering 12x Aiko Energy panels (465 watt), with a Sunsynk 5 kW inverter and a 5.32kWh battery. Octopus Energy are offering a similar set up for a similar price, but they're using 450 watt panels, so with using 12 panels I'd be potentially be losing 180 watts vs what the other company is offering. Is that a significant amount or would it basically not really amount to much additional power?
