Quality meat at Sainsbury's! Comes with a drink of water for no extra cost!

As I write this at 0540 - my solar panels are already generating (450W) and recharging the battery that powered overnight. In the first week since installation, we've produced a whopping 223kWh of electricity! Our weekly usage averages 70-80kWh. 127.2kWh exported and 5.9kWh taken from the grid!

@octopus.energy I am trying to set up Octopus Outgoing and having issues, like when I tried to change a single fuel on my account before. Can you help please as it doesn't fix itself through refreshing or waiting? (See photo for the issue I'm having via the website).

Even if you were paying me £388 I wouldn't go to the USA right now. Maybe they'll get some takers... Just be sure you've never said anything remotely negative about the US Government.

Solar and batteries being installed, along with an EV charger. Panels up and now having the battery and EV charger hooked up. Let's hope this doesn't mean no more sun for the rest of the year...!

We should be encouraging this sort of thing, just like encouraging the fitting of solar panels and home batteries to balance the grid. It creates new jobs and opportunities and will help keep many classic cars on the road, and affordable to drive as fuel costs rise over time.

2025 PebbleOS watches Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2 go up for pre-order – limited numbers available From the moment Eric Migicovsky announced the return of the Pebble watch, I've been excited to see what would be announced. Now we know!

USA weather forecasts should include tariff predictions. "The day starts overcast. Temperatures around 39°F. Tariffs of 25% may apply until at least lunchtime. Clouds will linger throughout the afternoon, with occasional breaks of tariffs into the evening. Stocks will likely fall by around 15%."

MWC 2025: Honor announces ‘Alpha Plan’, to transition to AI Device Ecosystem Company Honor will continue to build smartphones, laptops, tablets, wearables and more - but will now integrate more AI functionality as the company evolves.

Come on LG, this isn't cool. Changing the terms of the sale /after/ purchase?? If you don't agree with the new terms, you can't use any apps and just get thrown back to the agreement screen in a loop. Roku got loads of push back trying this in the USA and I thought better of LG. Be warned!
