@poor_n_stained @Odette260621 @thetimes Have you read the article? Isn’t it about losing free child care hours, rather than about tax?

[Andy Hume @andyhume]

@footballconfid1 @thetimes Can’t read due to paywall - but my guess is this is about losing free child care hours when a single earner crosses the £100k threshold.

@ArgosHelpers Hi Amy, I sent a screenshot to ArgosHelpers DM, but now I'm in chatbot hell. 😂 Have attached again here.

@Argos_Online This product has a 10% promo code published with it, but on checkout it says the product is not eligible for that deal. https://t.co/yQmKk21c4z

Should the code be valid? If not, why is it promoted on the product page? :/ Thanks!

@AumonierNick @fesshole I once went for a secret pint on the way home.

Marching and calling for a ceasefire and peace so that more innocent children don’t get killed is not really the definition of a hate march.

@virginmedia cat6. The same one used to measure the 540Mb down.

@virginmedia Macbook Pro.

[Andy Hume @andyhume]

@virginmedia Hi John - yes, I did. I did a factory reset of the hub (as advised by chat), which put it in router mode, plugged a cable in and get 540ish down but still only 36 up.

[Andy Hume @andyhume]

@virginmedia Hi - still seeing this and have time to debug now. Tried to get to a support chat on the website but the button does not work. Any recommendations for what to try next?

[Andy Hume @andyhume]

@virginmedia Not easily. The hub is in modem mode, and I don't want to go crawling round the cupboard. :)

https://t.co/ZoQJIWBVOd from my laptop (10Gb/s wired to router) showing bang on 36Mb/s up. But honestly, don't worry - it will come when it comes. I'll reboot hub again next week. :)

[Andy Hume @andyhume]

@virginmedia Wired, from a raspberry pi.

[Andy Hume @andyhume]

@virginmedia I got the email with instructions to restart the hub. Is that the confirmation?

[Andy Hume @andyhume]

@virginmedia @bigbluewolf_ Same result here. No change to upload rate.

[Andy Hume @andyhume]

A child tax they don’t tell you about. Sometimes kids just break shit you need. Like windows, or door locks. 😤

[Andy Hume @andyhume]

@jontrumpeter I’m not gonna lie, that sounds good. Will look out for it.

[Andy Hume @andyhume]

@ZachInglis Some concerns about the reliance on cloud, and the inability to extend the proprietary local network beyond a single central hub. But those things haven’t been problems yet for me.

[Andy Hume @andyhume]

@ZachInglis Got Tado a few months ago, to control kids bedrooms with different nap/bed times individually. Works well - good app, HomeKit support. Not handsome like a Nest, but I rarely look at the thermostat.

@rchrdbyd It’s a reqlly good way of running containerised workloads. 🤷‍♂️

[Andy Hume @andyhume]

@stephencgrant My mum did this and it’s shit. I lobbed them in the bin more than half the time.
