See, I said someone moved that satellite to vacuum behind it.

Sometimes I set the Eudora xylophone sound as a mail notification on my phone. Nobody has noticed though.

Windows Live Mail still living on with occasional repairs needed.

Outlook Express has died though.

So has incredimail I think.

Not sure what I got blocked from. Might poke around later and see. Guess I upset a bot by using a colon or something.

Downloaded it. Signed up. Replied to a post about rechargeable batteries. Account got restricted. Left.

No it’s just a typical smart socket and I’ve put my phone charger in it. (an old 1 amp charger so it is easier on the battery.) The 60% button turns the switch on for about three hours for example. (Phone has 5A battery.)

The charger is on from midday in case I forget to select a charging amount before sleeping.

You could do similar with an old fashioned rotary mechanical timer socket.

My phone doesn’t have this feature, so at bed time I just tap a button on a smart switch to give it roughly another 20-60% overnight.

Going rogue is how the TWiT network started I think - when Leo and co used to have a show called The Screensavers but it ended.

Except for the task manager. Windows 8 to Windows 10 had a good one.

Feed it Microsoft Merlin. What will happen?

Express VPN for foreign free to air TV, ad blocking on multiple devices. 200gb Google Cloud storage. Vultr VPN for Wireguard.

I guess I’m the odd one out. I quite enjoy my Arlec / grid connect stuff for simple things that could be done with wires, timers and the like.

Tasks include: Controlling the aircon and a basic heater with Universal IR. Running ventilation fans to force air through the house when the missus opens a door for a smoke. Letting the goats out on schedule when they were young. Enabling different banks of batteries to run or charge for the inverter circuit by schedule or sunlight amount. Monitor power usage on the chargers and output to the inverter circuit. Charge the battery mower to 80% only, roughly. Charge my phone to 80% only, roughly. Power up the office lighting / TV / monitors / amp etc when I enter, off when I leave. Keep my dog cool at night but not too cold. (fan control)

Granted I’m not looking forward to the day that grid connect dies, but I belive I can convert to Tuya locally hosted if that happens.

None of these need a subscription.

Likewise my outdoor Reolink camera has free cloud storage but only if you renew it every month, which is a pain.

I first saw it on YouTube when a local TV station posted the raw video.

I wasn’t looking at any other media at the time.

Good. Now go get my wife who lobs lit ciggies.

I turned my ten year old Toshiba i7 with a cracked LCD into a virtual fish tank after the last fish died.
