How does one adjust the timezone offset on a dog.

Mine seems to think he's due a lunchtime walk.

It really does feel like telcos forgot how to telco

3 to EE call unintelligible garbage sounds like terrible packet loss.

So another call over telegram comes through perfectly clear dispute both of us being on the same cells we were when I tried the normal volte/vonr call.

Whilst it was thought the cars apps and mobile app support relied on the byd SIM/private apn it seems this is actually not the case

Hmm I wonder what the security implications are there.

Ah so it is true then you can indeed replace the SIM in a byd.

Hardest part was getting the sodding panel off to access the SIM slot.

If you are wondering why you might want to the SIM is only free for a couple years and it's also capped at 1Gb a month which if you use the native sat nav and Spotify integrations instead of carplay/aa goes rather fast.

It's a full size SIM (well modern full size not the big smart cards) I used a 9esim nanosim in an adaptor with a esim.sm global esim as a test

Grabbed some third reality smart plugs we will see if their zero volt crossing switching makes a difference to sticky relays or if it’s all marketing bs.

But as a bonus they do add energy usage monitoring and work fine with zigbee2mqtt

Yesterday

Charging via instavolt app would have been 92p per kWh

Charging via octopus electroverse app was around 64p kWh due to plunge pricing.

Same instavolt rapid charger in both cases absolute madness.

Don't you just hate it when you're browsing ebay one minute and the next you now own a Dell R730 (was the cheapest way to get a load of 2.5" bays)

Soemone made a 27 min video about cassettes into an 8track adaptor.

Oh it's alec https://youtu.be/8I4Jc-WLsrs?si=FUqb_8zuEAUJYhbm

That man manages to even make videos about dishwashers interesting

Whislt I doubt creame cheese is good for the dog at all it is one way to get him to eat the deworming tablet

Using a 2020 M1 macbook air at the moment, one thing I will say for apple is their laptop speakers are considerably better than most other laptops I've used.

Listening to some music on it (no one else in the room at the moment) and it doesn't sound shit

Hmm that's werid, there's a suggestion that some public wi-fi networks block the inital wireguard handshake yet if you establish a tunnel on a different network (like cellular) then switch to that network then wireguard can communicate over it.

Seems to be the case with the public wi-fi here and my gl-inet slate4 if I connect my f50 and do the intial handshake over the ropey cellular I can then use the tunnel over the Wi-Fi.

Oh might get to use the 25Kwh of free osprey charging I got from when I joined my home electricity tariff as there happens to be an osprey charger here.

Might offset some of the other expensive public charging i've done recently.

I appear to have crashed the monitor :-/ completely black screen with just the backlight on, pressing button didn't even bring up the osd

Had to physically pull the power to it abd powercycle it to get it to display again

I actually think the variants of voip technologies telcos are deploying (volte/digital voice.etc) are much worse reliability and interoperability wise than the old circuit switched voice it replaces.

HOW did they screw up the deployments so badly.

On a pack of tortellini, serves 3

Me: yeh right...

The dog lays down somewhere and decides he's going to go sleep now and then moments later he's seemingly asleep.

As someone who often struggles to get to sleep I'm rather jealous...

Yep very windy #dogsofmastodon
