They're also changing the way you get money after someone buys something.

eBay balance, apparently. So by default, when a transaction happens, the money stays in eBay, and you have to manually transfer it out, instead of scheduled timed payouts.

I can imagine that would have gone down well with Boris' biggest fan base.

Followed swiftly by everyone else burying their faces in their palms, on both sides of the channel.

And probably everyone on the ground contracting covid during the raid for bonus "yes minister" points.

Jewish people were targeted in the Holocaust. The Nazis didn’t care about anything else.

I mean, they did target other people.

Nice to see NC becoming involved with the board.

I don't run that much z-wave due to cost, but I'm all for improvements and tighter integration.
Especially since when I do want to spend money, ZW works very well.

Kinda like the BeltBox, but less brightly coloured.

Building wide generating and averaging absolutely makes sense.

It needs tighter regulation though. As when you have apartments that are effectively tied to a provider, protections need to be in place to stop ridiculous energy price hikes and maintenance charges.

Must be the fracking residue in the water.

Or maybe something like this:

The unit with the buttons on is a simple relay, which hass can control to turn things on and off, and use a heating control with a temperature sensor.
But if you hit the button on the front, it also gives 30 minutes of on, which can be handy if the system had issues.

Or you could have a hass controlled relay, but also leave the old controller wired in on a manual switch.
So if there was a failure, you could go back to the old control by manually flipping it over.

Or ignorance made a convenient fig leaf.

This is an absolutely brilliant summary.

It's getting to the point where the only saving grace for Tesco over Aldi is the delivery vans.

Here comes the next house price hike wave, then.

Nationwide are also launching deals under 4%.

 

Following Mr Farage's claim that he had been advised not to hold in-person surgeries by the Speaker's Office, the Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said he would advise MPs to take advice from parliament's security team and "do so safely" if they asked him for advice on holding surgeries.

 

Someone looted Lush.
