The Pub / Re: What have you fettled today?
« Last post by robgul on Today at 11:12:29 am »Re-purposed a rather primitive shoe rack I made as a temporary measure when we move here 2.5 years ago into a small outdoor log store for fire-bowl wood. Now loaded with ex-whisky barrel oak off-cuts from a local bloke that makes furniture and tables from the barrels.

« Last post by robgul on Today at 11:08:12 am »The effect is that the air that has to be displaced causes a surge in the liquid flow - surely people have been taught to pour with the opening at the top so that the air is displaced smoothly?
No, never been taught that, but it's something I've learned from experience.
University of life, mate, innit.
I was taught/told at age 12 by the woodwork master at school when pouring out some woodstain! ..... but then do they still teach woodwork at schools nowadays?

Literally disabling them with an update?
https://www.hivehome.com/product-news - stuff will work until 1 August 2025 - then it wont.
Hmm, I can understand them turning off the server support for cameras (gits).
Turning off a hub in your home so that it won't communicate with other devices in your home; not sure that can be legal.
I think that may be what I just described! (Not heard that expression before - crystal clear description!)

I don't think it's a case of "turning off your hub" - AIUI all the activity/storage etc for all the Hive stuff is at their end - what they are going to do is "stop the function" in 2025. The Hive hub is just, if you like, an extension to your own router with its own proprietary wifi that talks to all the Hive devices and relays to Hive HQ.
