Nest have a black Friday sale on.
Yes, that [Alphabet] Nest that's pissing off their customers with the smoke alarm EOL (oddly on sale - mains only), and thermostat EOL as well.
Do you think I'm going to buy any hardware from them, hell no, never again. Such a shame, loved the smokes!

Been waiting for a parcel from Royal Mail today, they gave a 3 hour window for delivery.
Turns out not only is it not even out for delivery, it's not even at the local post office to be ready for delivery.
They also didn't bother to send a message to say the window had changed.

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day.
