Sounds like one of them shingled disks, not very good performance if you rewrite data on them...

Got a home security camera system that looked a bargain:

4 outdoor cameras and a box that you can show the cameras on the tv and view any of them on a smartphone.

If you like Jeffery Archer Books they are doing the 7 books in the Clifton chronicles series on Kindle for £6.49.

Ready for the next holiday / flight.

That's cheaper than the Andrex deal, and arguably more absorbent.

This is my problem with the Honeywell EvoHome range... it looks the most complete system but to control via your phone, you have to go via their servers.

yep its pretty much standard, everyone wants you to subscribe at a £10 a month. I went with a MiaCasaVerde (Now stupidly called Vera - please fire the marketing team) you have to connect for Alexa etc but no subscription.

One big thing is its very open , covers most vendors. I have Siemens stuff, Fibaro, Alexa, HomeEasy and various audio stuff working together.

Samsung Smartthings I don't think needs a subscription.

Plenty of good open source stuff out there.

another echo dot for £34.99 for the little lounge they have a headphone jack so you can put them into any decent speaker.

IMHO Amazon missed a trick & should have added an optical out for the fanatics on the Big Echo or a square one with optical, IR & LCD display to go with your amp.

love the dots they are just great listening to Dire straits on it now. Not great audio but good enough.

Where the real money will be made selling your data on to third parties.

Yes. I ordered an Amazon. She is out the back chopping firewood as we speak.
