Completely missed the fact that Google revealed a new smart home speaker a week ago. Looks quirky. Has AI. Has a...subscription (thankfully just for 'Gemin Live') 🙃
Not launching right now, but I might look into getting a Home Assistant Voice PE to play around with in the meantime.

Quite a lot of gamers are not happy over the Xbox game pass price increase, however this has always been the case for any type of subscription service of this nature (just look at Spotify, Netflix, Disney Plus, etc.)

I've seen the Pebble Time 2 design this week and I'm not gonna lie, even though I've already got 2 watches I use right now...I'm considering getting one at this point

Curiosity got to the better of me and I decided to find out
Disappointingly, it looks like the switch to just appears as a OLED Switch with grey joycons
Would have been a nice little Easter egg as part of the switch 2 edition upgrade pack

Unexpected surprise this morning. I got an email regarding BlockFi's Bankruptcy Distribution
I finally managed to get back some of the money I dropped on BlockFi back in 2022 😅

Just came across this beautiful spray painted Cowboy eBike on Reddit 😍
I'd love to do something like this to my Tenways eBike but I'm terrified I'll get something wrong in the process and ruin the bike 😅

So, Freetrade has been acquired by IG Group now, and that reminded me that I bought some shares in Freetrade via Crowdcube about seven years ago.
Unfortunately, the sale has not made me a millionaire 🥲

Managed to snap a bargain today!
Since getting my ebike last year I've thought about getting 2 of these hardshell panniers but was put off given it would have cost me £90 (and then likely more to get the 'top bags') so stumbling across it for 50% off was an insta-buy for me
Ended up getting 2 🥳
