I think they now allowed to use expired BRPs for a few months post 1st Jan.

From HO website: "You may be able to use your expired BRP to travel to the UK until 31 March 2025 if both: your BRP expires on or after 31 December 2024. you still have permission to stay in the UK."

That's not true. My freshly printed passport was denied by a computer at the UK border, they ran forensic checks for 2 hours while I waited in detention and then it was all good and they let me go.

It's a very sensitive topic for the health data! Too many apps sending data left and right, 23andme scandal.. very few apps (e.g. Carrot Care on iOS) adopt such great philosophy.

When I first moved to London NW3 in 2016 I also had this thing in my apt but it always seemed to crash right after you boot it using the pin.
