#android16 is now so clever that if you have a calendar event, it switches Modes to Event.
This silently blocks incoming calls, which is a problem if the event WAS AN INCOMING CALL! 🤦

For #openstreetmap mappers in the #uk seeing #lorawan back-haul transceivers appear on utility_pole and street_light infra apparently, they are apparently operated by #connexinltd and used by several water utilities for remote metering.

#osm tagging conundrum for LoRaWAN remote utility meter reading base stations (Part 2)
Add-on to an existing street light pole.
This is a bit harder as it is both a street light, AND a base station:
highway=street_lamp

@gazza-d.bsky.social Looks like the South Shields coast road is getting lights:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyrndl0n05o
I'll look out for them when peering South from Newbiggin Sailing Club!
We can often see Marsden, Souter, and car headlamps on the cliff road (even at 26km) from the bar.

The combination of a #brompton #bike and the #northumberlandline train is rather good.
Personal teleport that runs on fat, and a £1.60 train journey for the longer section.
Almost perfect - just need active travel links to Ashington Station, and […]

Upgrade your #zigbee coordinator firmware occasionally!
After a month of testing with various #homeassistant #Zigbee hardware and #zha, my conclusion is #ZHA + Yellow (SilLabs = ZBT1) + #aqara kit does not work without a firmware update.
