"Alexa, defrost the car"

Yes, that actually works, right from the comfort of the house with the BMW Connected skill on Alexa Echo 👍👍

Remote heating as standard is one of the best features of electric cars ! #bmwi3 #ev

Changed from my wired Kensington to a ProtoArc bluetooth trackball,

And also disallowing revolut/Monzo cards, or have they lifted that now ?

Love #PortableApps on USB drives, but hate having to download all the apps separately.

So I made a predownloaded single file version here:

TiVo has sold its last DVR The company is killing its hardware business, 26 years after becoming synonymous with TV recording.

This won't mean a lot to most people, but I remember buying a TiVo here in the UK and watching open mouthed as it paused live broadcast television. I used to show it off as a party trick and friends were always equally astounded.

Freedom is ... putting Asahi Linux on a MacBook M1

Now a proper Fedora KDE Linux and nicely dual booting with MacOS

Replacing Sky / Virgin media with a Freeview recorder. Looking good so far, it integrates well with all the catch-up setvices, and a software update just added YouTube. #manhattant4r #cordcutting #freeview

ChromeOS Flex: Our cloud-based operating system – ChromeOS Upgrade to ChromeOS Flex, our cloud-based, easy-to-manage and secure operating system that's compatible with both PCs and Macs.

Best OS for this old ideapad 110s with only 2Gb RAM ? Primarily just for light web browsing

Lubuntu, Mint XCFE, Linux Lite ?

Turns out the winner is...

Buy it before it goes ? Well it's still an overpriced £49.99 and EA doesn't tend to discount games....

It would help if the legal route was more reasonable - the assisted limit of 15.5 mph is quite slow ( can easily pedal and maintain around 20mph even on a regular bike).

"Some assembly required" 🤣

You know what emergent tech of the last decade actually works well, and was adopted by millions?

3D printing. It’s great! So many applications.

But also nobody is sneering at you for not having or utilizing 3D printing. Nobody is trying to sneak a 3D printer into your garage without your consent

My 10 year old reprap huxley is still connected via octopi, occasionally use it for flexible tpu. Have bambu A1 for the main workload.

YouTube video by TEDx Talks Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver? | Scott Hanselman | TEDxPortland

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

EV charger installations no longer require planning permission | Autocar Move to accelerate the roll-out of charging infrastructure is claimed to "save months of delays” and cut costs

Planning permission no longer required for public chargepoints - should stop NIMBYs blocking charger installs at garages and pub / restaurants www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/ele... #ev #evs

You can actually mount ams on top (mine came with the bracket) - I prefer it on the right too though

So what's the cheapest EV rapid charging discount these days?

Was using Elli-charging, but they aren't cheap anymore.

Seems #plugsurfing is ok at 20% off #instavolt and #osprey for £6.90/mo ?

Break even / profit after 40 kWh of charging, reducing osprey from 79p to 63p
