Morning all!
As it’s Sunday, what time would you get started with cutting the grass and/or jet washing the car?
I’m thinking 11 at the earliest?

Hive or Tado…
So my Nest thermostat will no longer be supported from October and I’m looking at making the switch to either of the above, but not sure which to choose.
Any experience and feedback would be welcome

Morning!
I’m working all day unfortunately.
What are your after work plans?

It’s worked here, so thank you

#Netflix should really allow you to click on directors/actors in the credits list of series and films, and link you through to other works featuring the same person. Or at least clicking on a name credited should automatically create a search so you don't have to type it yourself on the search page.

It's very hard to discover the whereabouts of the best tribute bands because they've covered their tracks so well.

A black and white photo of a low precipitation (LP) supercell at night. The supercell's mesocyclone is remarkably sculpted into a 'barber pole' like appearance, with three lightning bolts striking the ground around it, and several intracloud bolts as well. To the left of the storm's towering updraft is a clear, starry night sky.

Four black bears are crossing a road at a crosswalk, with one bear on the sidewalk near a fire hydrant. The picture is reminiscent of the Abbey Road album cover.

Does this summarise the whole post, to save me going to the BBC website? 😂

We’re implementing two factor, but not biometrics. Just authentication apps on personal devices

Probably a stupid question, but how do so the pit lane starts work with there race starting behind the safety car?
I assume it just means they’ll be at the back of the grid?

iOS 26 update:
It would be great if the notification banner was the same colour as the home screen

I’m beginning to think Ferrari are intentionally ruining drivers careers because they don’t want them to impact Schumacher’s legacy.
We’ll see how things go next season though first, but there’s no way their cars can be that bad for this long with 3 multiple world champions

Has anyone ever noticed that Fury is in an Infiniti at the end of Infinity War?

Yep, same here.

iOS 26 installed and, it’s, ok.
First impressions are that the borders are a lot thicker than I thought

You’d think there might be some sort of common sense there, wouldn’t you?

With @bsky.app & Flickr looking at age verifying, which other platforms are we expecting to see this on?

So Ford this man I might have a DM waiting for me to age verify, or as a reminder to do so?
