@JonathanPieNews So inference being that these complaints wouldn’t be investigated if he didn’t ask for it? That the Government would have swept it under the rug otherwise? Huh… might be a nugget of horrible truth there…

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

@madebygoogle This morning my issue appears to have been resolved! Have now managed to relink my account. Thank you 👍

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

@madebygoogle who do we talk to about account linking issues in Google Home? Netflix stopped working so tried to relink and it won’t work on any device from either home or assistant apps - sign in just lands on this blank page

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

@madebygoogle I’m in the UK. iOS version is 15.6.1. Google Home app version is 2.60.116.

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

@madebygoogle I can cast to the Hub from Netflix / YouTube etc. fine. No other linked account appears to be a problem. Just appears to be a fault in token handling between Google and Netflix services

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

@madebygoogle Started at the weekend - no changes made to hub/Netflix account/etc.. Hub complained Netflix wasn’t linked properly and no longer opened shows, unlinked it to try to resolve but won’t re-link. Tried clearing caches, deinstalling and reinstalling apps, restarting hub and phone.

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

@madebygoogle UK, and think home hub max. If it helps here’s the software versions as reported in the app for it. Also attached is the other error in the app that I sometimes get trying to link Netflix

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

Credentials are right, apps up to date, tried deleting and reinstalling apps as well as clearing all browser cookies etc in case the OAuth flow in the web view was pulling something in from the browser. Nothing solved. Appears to be an issue with how you are processing the token?

@ZenInternetHelp Puts a damper on my evenings entertainment but it is what it is. Thank you for the update. What happened? For how long it’s been out it must be pretty serious

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

@ZenInternetHelp hey, been without internet all day, think ZO523509797 is affecting me. Any update? Will this be an issue tomorrow?

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

@DPDgroup_news how best to contact complaints and find our parcel? Online chat and FAQs all fail and can’t get a person - driver didn’t attempt delivery (we have video doorbell) tracking says we weren’t in to receive. Paid for named day, that was Monday, where is our parcel?!

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

Yesterday I took the plunge and decided to buy our next computer as a custom build from @ScanComputers. I’ve always built my own since my first AMD 586 system in the 90s, so feeling quite nervous! Do me proud Scan, putting my trust in you! 🙏

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

@AskSmythsToys Managed to find the right contact form on your site after I tweeted (shame on me), and a replacement is already on the way! Thank you @SmythsToysUK / @AskSmythsToys, great customer service!

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

@SmythsToysUK or @Hermesparcels do either of you know where my parcel is… been a bit longer than 24 hours…

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

@spadgy_OTA Surely @JimSterling would be a worthy person to interview for an article on POGs!

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

@msdevUK Minesweeper definitely!

@34SP is there a problem with 2FA at the moment? Have tried a couple of times over a couple of days, no email, my address is correct and nothing has gone to spam etc.

It’s a brutal 3-minute summary of New Zealand’s success vs the UK’s failure. Keep sharing it.

@AmazonHelp Just managed to get the right combination of button presses to get the bot to pass me through to a human customer assistant. All sorted. Thanks!

[Dr Jon Nicholson @drjonnicholson]

Hey @AmazonUK, ordered a return, replacement arrived ok. Been a few business days and @Hermesparcels has yet to collect (selected pickup). Some delay expected as busy period & Covid, but Hermes app says they’re expecting it from me? Any way to confirm pickup definitely selected?
