And now they say it’s going to be down overnight. This is our first non-overnight/non-blip outage I think (in about 9 months) but it’s a lot longer than almost that we had with copper broadband (still would never go back!)

Hopefully the engineers will sort it overnight and it’s not too horrible […]

Turns out you can charge one Mac from another with a usb c cable and some plugging/unplugging #psa #powercut
