@flogib @mweiss @ellyxir lol if I ever end up with one I do recommend, I’ll definitely review it on my channel 😉

@flogib @mweiss @ellyxir it’s a Hoover Candy, but I would NOT recommend it because it does also check the cloud.

And they tried to remotely turn off its “smart” functionality when the EU law came in about basic security on such devices, and they decided they couldn’t be bothered to just comply.

So mine has been fire-walled since.

@mweiss @ellyxir I have a washing machine which has a local API, but I also pair it with an energy monitoring smart plug.

This means I can cut power to it until it’s actually about to run, so the door doesn’t lock when we close it.

Then it’s run automatically while energy is cheap, using its API. Then when it finishes, it turns off and alerts me, and by the time I get there the door has unlocked again. And I can monitor its energy consumption 👌

Bit of a left-field PSA this, but… if you own an iPhone/iPad in the UK and:

- you DON'T own a credit card
- you DON'T have a driving license
- you have NOT had your Apple account for more than 18 years

…don't upgrade to iOS 26.4 if you want to install (or some cases, use) 17+ rated apps or stream 18+ films/tv on itvX, netflix, etc.

The update adds mandatory OS-level age verification to meet UK law and Apple doesn't currently accept passports (!) to prove age.

Why should any political donations other than a standard annual party membership fee (say £25) be permitted? All other options allow wealthy people disproportionate political influence.

Researchers at the University of Brighton and University of Strathclyde have developed a 3D printed electrochemical sensor capable of detecting cardiac troponin I, a protein released during heart attacks. The platform uses electrodes costing just 17 cents each, potentially making heart attack diagnosis more accessible. The research was published in Analytical Chemistry. #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Healthcare #Medical #HeartAttack #Sensors https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/new-research-on-3d-printed-heart-attack-sensing-platform-with-17-cents-electrodes-250157/

New Research on 3D Printed Heart Attack Sensing Platform With 17 Cents Electrodes - 3D Printing Industry

Researchers from the University of Brighton and University of Strathclyde have developed an electrochemical sensor platform capable of detecting a heart attack protein biomarker in human blood serum. Published in Analytical Chemistry, the study targets cardiac troponin I, a protein released into the bloodstream when heart muscle is damaged and the central biomarker in heart […]
