My Lenovo Smart Clock is dying. No good for bedside with all the flicking. Anything similar on the market which supports Google Assistant these days?

Tracking says 10 stops away, postman at the door.
Your latest delivery prediction is 21:25 - 21:30, less than 10 stops away.

Wondered what data was being sent when the Update Again button is pressed, so took a look in DevTools. Shows the actual number of drops still to go, and the actual ETA which continues to drift.

Looks like they have additional tracking for the driver in the van. Bad news is that the ETA is now between 8:15pm and 9:05pm (yup it got wider in between taking the screen shot and writing this).
Royal Mail tracking page with a map of where I live (blured out) an estimated delivery of 20:15-21:00 and a red circle saying that "less than 90 stops away".

Hate it when Royal Mail are used for a parcel. The tracking assumes that the postman will deliver in the morning, but most times it is not him. It also has it down as still in Nottingham, but history suggests that it's probably in Newark on a van.
Royal Mail tracking screenshot "In Transit We normally expect to deliver to your address between 8:15am - 10:15am Your item has reached Nottingham MC and will now be sent to your local delivery office."

Nothing stopping the paper reporting about licencing applications, they just won't be subsidised for hiding it in the classifieds.

Anyone else trying the Prime Vision for the match. Helps see how far up the field Raya is, along with realtime stats like how high the header was, or the speed of the run in to the box.

Assume Apple managed to salvage something from the filming to get one extra episode after Noel went awol.

Whilst the main signage is all "Signage" or "Sign" the architects left this on the window.

I get that there has to be a plan B when the source isn't available, but it's rather fortunate for them that today has been more expensive than the last few days.
Hi Ryan, On Monday 8th September the market auction we use to calculate your Agile Octopus rates (EPEX HH) isn’t running. Therefore, we’ll be using the same unit rates that applied the 24 hours before. In detail, this means the half-hourly prices from 11pm the 7th of September to 11pm 8th September will also apply from 11pm 8th September to 11pm 9th September. The process will be back to usual the following day, so around 4pm on Tuesday 9th September you’ll get new rates for the 24 hours ahead. Stay Agile, Smart Tariffs Team

After Cleethorpes yesterday, North Hykeham today, again below the line is grim reading.
Facebook post from Lincolnshire Police We are aware of a planned protest at the IBIS Hotel in North Hykeham regarding misinformation being spread about the hotel allegedly being used to house asylum seekers. This is untrue. We have been in contact with the management team at the IBIS Hotel who have confirmed the hotel is currently under refurbishment and is due to change ownership.

Local MP responds, but the commentors don't believe her because they saw something on TikTok.
Facebook post from Melanie Onn I've seen several rumours circulating about migrants being placed in accommodation at Haven Holiday Park, the Humber Royal Hotel or other hotels in Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes. I have spoken directly to the Home Office and to NELC to get to the bottom of this. The truth is that no migrants are being accommodated at any of these sites. These rumours are being spread online without evidence and are designed to cause unnecessary worry. It is important to separate fact from speculation, and to be cautious about claims that only ever seem to come from "a friend of a friend" on social media or through unverified Al speculation. Migrants are not being housed in these establishments, nor are there any upcoming plans to house migrants in them. What we are seeing is visitors coming to enjoy a holiday in our area, contributing to our local economy. Grimsby and Cleethorpes are proud, welcoming communities, and tourism is a vital part of our local success. ----- FACT CHECK THERE ARE NO ASYLUM HOTELS IN GRIMSBY & CLEETHORPES There are no Home Office plans to use hotels or large sites like Haven in North East Lincolnshire for asylum accommodation. This has been confirmed by officials and partners locally.

At #TheHundred watching Trent Rockets vs Southern Brave, the Women's match ended up closer than expected, but was a loss.

Feels like a stacking area based on the initial signs (although some of the space signs have no idling, and others have exit via passenger side). Long building project as they first show up 2019.
Stacked street sign "No Waiting Mon - Sat 7pm - 6am" "Parking, Van Symbol, CGZ logo, Holding Area" "Mon - Sat 6am - 7pm Authorised Vehicles for construction sites only"

Went the other way and found more signs, started to draw them on a map, and then focused on the middle which finally gave these signs.

Think I've worked it out. Not ER, but just a footpath diversion.

So if you turn left down Market Way, and then do a 180, you'll see this sign 🤷

Fortunately I set up KWS on the weekend to allow Charlie to have a Ninatic Kids account to play Pokemon Go, so the process today was two button presses.

Two months on, the sign is battered and still a trip hazard. The road is still awaiting repair.
