Is this a man trap , putting WiFi on a washing machine ? .....

Expand  

My sister’s new machine has WiFi, I can’t see the point. You still need to get washing out of the damned machine yourself.

[beko1987]

My cordless floor washer, one of my cordless vacuums and my hairdryer all have WiFi and an app... 

Bar filming it I've never ever used it 😂 

Of course their all offline, I'm sat on the sofa 😂 The hairdryer is even more bad as you cna turn it on/off, min max speed and hot or cold. To do the fancy settings you've got to be in the app. Which involves keeping the hairdryer turned on... Even Eva says its fucking* stupid 

 

*not the exact words. I think I even said so in the review videos I did after they were all given to me. They still send more though and it is funky in its own way. Nowadays I've got an android x86 vm on my unraid server I fire up if I need some footage of it, saves dicking around with a phone 

[warch]

Just plugged in my launch edition Samsung Galaxy tab to see if it still works and it does! I got it free* with a phone deal in about 2011 and only stopped using it the year before last evidently a few days before the first lockdown based on the tabs still open when I switched it back on. It’s still quite useful as it runs the remote software for my camera pole camera rather well. Clearly the Toyota pickup of tablets

Great spot, I loved that show, would never have recognised him. Favourite character was Hilary, played by Saira Todd.

just popped into Aldi for a few things and they were doing a spotting scope with tripod for 25 notes , I thought why not . its Xmas

got it home and its ok , 60mm aperture with 20 to 60 zoom , the tripod is as wobbly as a jelly but its light and small and will do my camera work with my mobile on top ,

I have a big f off tripod that the scope can go on top of .

so now I have a nice little tripod to shove in my bag , and a ok spotting scope setup ..

We had a King Charles that would go in exactly the same spot every morning while we were  walking the kids to school 

I always assumed it was instinct , nothing tried to eat me yesterday and the day before so it'll be fine today as well

My niece is 17, has moderate social anxiety, and no interest whatsoever in driving. She doesn't need to drive in any case, as she can commute by bus. Her ****ing idiot father has decided to buy her a car anyway, because apparently no respectable parent could possibly have offspring that don't drive. He decided to buy a 10+ year old hatchback in the interests of 'practicality'.

Said car is actually a CLC 200 Kompressor, with a sports exhaust, AMG rims and tinted windows. The first thing my niece did, bless her, was stick a big plastic flower on top of the aerial. I'm currently laughing my arse off thinking about how much he'll be spunking on her insurance, on a car that she'll drive once a month at the very most.

The 24th is the main day of Christmas in Norway. Has been a great day this, minus 20 cold degrees over 1 meter of snow so proper Norwegian Christmas weather. My dad is here we've had Deere roast for dinner and just enjoying ourselves.

Any pictures of said meter of snow , we get 1cm for 20 minutes here and things start to fall apart , I bet 1m deep and it's business as usual in Norway

We had 1.5 meters of snow but have shrunk a little since. The pictures below are the same as I posted in the new news 24 thread a few weeks ago.

We had Ribbee last night as my son's wife is 1/2 Norwegian (and 1/2 Polish).

And the weirdest cold rice pudding dish ever.  It was nice, just new to my tastebuds.

I had a look at a few of them, before buying an Astra GTC. 

All were being sold by bombsite traders, whose idea of after sales service would be to set the dawgs on you.

I'm not that fond of Ribbe so it's not something I eat. And I think I know what you mean by rice pudding, we also had this yesterday called Riskrem in Norwegian. The world is small at times.

Wow , 6 days Darlington to Southampton , surely at that point in time there must've been a company in Southampton that could've built that

Not many foundries could put out fabrications that big at that time(even fewer now), most were near the two big centres of ship building, the Tyne and the Clyde.
