@BritishGas I just got this message on whatsapp from you. It was addressed to, and was for, my ex-wfie who I divorced over a decade ago. How can I inform you AGAIN of that given the bot doesn't accept input except stop and book? Her account and me should not be linked in any way!

[David Overton @davidoverton]

@donasarkar @UberEats True. Also, see if you can get a black cab in London. Much more common

@EE Hi @EE. It would have been nice to know before booking via @SamsungUK support that the service in your store requires a factory reset of the phone. I was told this by the friendly staff on arrival. This is a screen protector. Why? Going to Samsung shop in London does not

[David Overton @davidoverton]

Hugely disappointed that my @SamsungUK Z Fold 5 has bubbles in the fold screen protector, just like my Z 4 did. Booked service via Samsung with @ee Reading. Been told I need to factory reset to get the screen protector replaced. Really?

[David Overton @davidoverton]

@jamesamatthews That's because he thinks of their money as his. I admire what the man has helped inspire others to build, but I don't like him, his methods or his anything really. Yet somehow we have Tesla forcing electric forward and SpaceX doing the same in space. All with him involved!?

[David Overton @davidoverton]

@jamesamatthews @virginmedia James, how long did it take to get restored in the end?

[David Overton @davidoverton]

@CamboTheatre Turned up to this tonight, along with others, but the theatre was closed. Any idea what happened?

[David Overton @davidoverton]

Got an e-mail from @marksandspencer saying they miss me. The Subject line reads "Hi [name]..." The first line of text states "We have a confession: we miss you." They miss me so much forgot my name!!

It's been a pain filled week personally, so decided to share!

Today my brave mother-in-law decided to shave her head due to the effects of Chemo. She is raising money with this event for the Fountain Centre who support patients and carers with physical and emotional support beyond the services provided by the NHS. https://t.co/9vwlXUePlL

@AvaSantina anyone running around uncontrolled is annoying. I find it is more likely to be adults than kids. But, what are your saying you want? Children should be more Victorian, or parents & kids shouldn't be in a pub, or pubs should not allow kids? The latter exist, so you could go there

[David Overton @davidoverton]

@RMerlinDev Or this? Seems to be wildly stabbing in the dark

[David Overton @davidoverton]

@RMerlinDev So I got access to Bard, this is it's response - is it any better? I don't know!

[David Overton @davidoverton]

@katebevan Ah yes, I got a 8k thunderbolt usbc dongle to drive it from the laptop for about £20-30

@jamesamatthews As an Octopus customer on the tariff that changes every 30 mins, I can confirm prices can go above 100p per kWh. Sounds like someone's bad implementation rather than an industry bug. My smart meter reporting device can also go above 32.767p

[David Overton @davidoverton]

@jamesamatthews I think it is included in our package for free. It covers not just sky content, but the apps, so the likes of itvx . Now it has a price, it has a value that can be discounted/given away in deals. Bear in mind that the new service is streaming only, so no recordings to ff through

@markdeakin @home_assistant I had solar installed in this house, plus battery a month ago. SolarEdge plus tesla. Was looking at @home_assistant to bring everything (digital in the house) together. Might have to compare notes

[David Overton @davidoverton]

@donasarkar @MichaelGillett Right now, politians finally saying they have had enough of Boris and changing the government leader by resigning

[David Overton @davidoverton]

@alexbal @JenMsft @gareth_untether 100% agree. Everything is awesome and fast, where as built in search never finishes searching my files. The green bar never reaches the end. I used to love search on windows, but now it just doesn't seem to be able to handle all my onedrive files (>100k documents and media files)
