I had no idea he was connected when I was looking at the mod retro originally. No way I'll have anything to do with them going forward. Utterly ghoulish.

Refusing pre-defined contracts doesn't make you a contractor. It makes you unemployed.

Worst one I had was "call this weird phone number to cancel." What a pain in the ass that was. I ended upon hold for ages before having to tell them I wanted to cancel like 6 times.

The main value of sewerage monitoring is overflow prevention. Utilities are fined for every litre of sewage that spills so the operators have to install monitoring to aid with blockage detection and prevention and spill response times.

The secondary benefit is for recycling wastewater, which makes up the vast majority of all sewage. Monitoring it helps with treatment to create additional drinking water without the need for additional storages and reducing reliance increasingly unreliable rainfall.

I played it for the first time this year. Finished it in like 5 hours, so can't say it would be worth full price..but I still enjoyed it a lot for what it was.

Half joking of course. There are bits of Ferntree Gully and nearby which are beautiful

 
 

Vorwerk, the company that purchased Neato robovacs, is reneging on its promise to keep the bots’ server running for 5 years.

In an email obtained by The Verge, Neato Robotics explained the decision to users, stating, “Since Neato ceased operations in 2023, Vorwerk has continued maintaining the Neato cloud platform to honor the original five-year service promise. However, cybersecurity standards, compliance obligations, and regulations have advanced in ways that make it no longer possible to safely and sustainably operate these legacy systems.”

 

The irony of that auto generated summary is not lost on me
