I've been on Purelymail since last December and I can't recommend it enough. It does exactly what I want in the way I expect it to.

Yep, we mix them up. Distance and speed in miles, fuel priced in pounds per litre.

Other than commercial panels, I think buying a non-smart TV with decent picture quality is verging on the impossible now.

Sorry no, I worded that badly.

I meant the one thing I'm missing from my current setup, not something that would be fixed by upgrading.

I bought an Apple TV 4K a few months ago (Google TV's ads were too much) and there's nothing here that might even slightly tempt me to upgrade.

* Siri - no thanks

* Far field microphones - no thanks

* Faster performance - unnecessary for me (I watch TV, movies and YouTube - it's never not smooth)

* Home theatre with homepods - I already have Sonos surround

* Even smarter home hub - I have a non-Apple smart home

* Facetime, Fitness+, Apple TV app - just not for me

The one thing I feel like I'm missing (and would be missing even if I upgraded) is audio passthrough, but DD 5.1 is _fine_.

Maybe the GP is friends with George RR Martin.

This is perhaps an indirect confirmation that The Winds of Winter is back on track.

I have a mix of Sonoff and IKEA. Both work well for me, but the IKEA DIRIGERA API reports the IKEA TIMMERFLOTTE as two separate devices with different names, and it messed up my Grafana dashboard.

It's the most first world of first world problems, but purely for that reason any more I buy will be Sonoff.

Same on the latest Chrome on Android.

So as a non-Apple-using Kagi subscriber since Beta, I kind of wish they'd just concentrate on search - the thing I'm paying for.

Yes, it's good, and I'll keep using it for the foreseeable future, but it's not an unassailable lead.

> M.R. Williams is advancing its IBM i modernization strategy with new mobile solutions and accounting system improvements, while leveraging IBM Bob to quickly interpret older RPG code, automate documentation, and streamline development workflows.

This is exactly the kind of endorsement I’d expect to see from an IBM customer.

I listen to Radio 4 quite a bit and occasionally want to check the schedule (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/schedules/bbc_radio_fourfm)

On mobile, Googling 'radio 4 schedule' is the quickest way, and the only negative bit about the entire experience is the popup that tells me 'it's better in the app'.

It's not. Not by any metric.

My search and opening a webpage takes a second or two. Opening the app takes several seconds, then navigating to the Radio 4 page and scrolling down the schedule takes several more.

I submitted a bug report on the topic and they basically told me "we hear you but shush and use the app".

As a T1 diabetic, can confirm.

Just wait for someone at Google to read this post and then block the domain retrospectively.

Me too.

My two requirements for a device are:

* Being able to pay for stuff

* My blood glucose sensors work (Librelink)

If they worked on a dumbphone, I'd have a dumbphone.

I get several a year (UK). So far in 2026, I've had:

* Jehovah's Witnesses

* people offering to steam clean my roof/drive

* the local Fibre company trying to sign me up.

* well known scammers who claim to be on some kind of prison release scheme selling overpriced kitchen/household tat

It used to be a nickname variant of Elizabeth.

Linux doesn't have a way, there are about 30.

Ultimately though, package managers (whether it's apt, dnf, Steam, some app store, etc) are the best for most people, myself included.

I don't think cheese sticks or quesadillas are all that popular in Poland.

I've never had a cheese stick or seen one in a supermarket (UK). I assume from your description it's like a fish finger but filled with cheese.

You should give Azure DevOps a try!

I've used tig for longer than I can remember for my selective staging needs.

I have 4 Seiko wall clocks that are radio wave controlled. They look beautiful and other than changing the battery need 0 intervention from me. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Pity they don't seem to make them any more, the newer ones use GPS and don't look quite as nice (in my opinion at least).

It's a Yale Sync

https://yalehome.co.uk/yale-sync-hub

It's not really something I want 'home rolled', I just want it to work.

Same goes for the boiler really. If it stops working I can phone Valliant and they'll send someone round to fix it.

I live by this rule*. Being able to pick up stuff from IKEA that's well supported, well designed and really affordable is a huge advantage.

*almost, I have two things that need an app. My Vaillant boiler and my Yale alarm system. Both apps are terrible, but I have a 10 year warranty on the boiler and my alarm is up to scratch from a home insurance point of view.**

Philadelphia, 1993.

I'm so thankful for the BBC.

I listen to Radio 4 through the day when I'm working on things that don't need my full concentration.

It's the alarm that wakes me at 0630 and I often listen to the news before bed.

Adverts drive me insane. It's a national treasure and I'd pay the licence fee again just for R4 + Sounds.

I've used Jellyfin for years and my experience is currently incredibly smooth and works like a dream for the whole family.

I only use it for movies and TV shows though, the live TV experience (with a HDHomeRun) was incredibly buggy and slow, and once you've tried it and failed, it seems like it's impossible to remove the remnants of it from your interface.

The music and audiobook support never felt like it was as polished as TV/movies either, so I gave up on that.

Now I use:

* Jellyfin for films/TV shows

* Channels for live TV

* Navidrome for music

* Audioookshelf for audiobooks and podcasts
