@davepl1968 I remember PEEKing and POKEing commands on a Commadore PET before getting fully distracted by the BBC Micro Model B… which made 6502 assembler directly accessible from BBC basic. Enjoyed this video!

@ClaudiusMaxx @tomfgoodwin Hmm… or are they the most effective advertising machines in history? By being the most scalable behavioral analysis tools in history?

@au_tom_otive Tom, I saw the headline, but you need to look beneath the data. How many young people under 30 are working, and how many will earn enough to pay tax? My daughter only started earning a taxable wage last year post-uni & training . So you need to compare 18-30s with over 70s.

@colinwalker79 @New_AutoMotive Surprise! EV-focused think tank says Diesel is dead and makes very optimistic/aggressive projections that would mean people ditching cars in unprecedented numbers. Millions of diesel cars will probably still be on the road by 2030–35, as they can last 10–15+ years @GeoffBuysCars

@UK_Daniel_Card Unfortunately, it is a cost that one of the research and advistory firms has identified, it is a cost that can be routed-out and reduced to prove the efficiency of my organisation over others, irrespective of wider considerations 😮 😉 !

@thecodfly69 @Dannys_Beard @MartinSLewis You should have been able to get a PAC for your main phone, and transfer the number. You can’t usually transfer the Apple Watch number, as officially it’s tied to your main phone. All you needed was the PAC. However, not many 2nd tier suppliers provide Apple Watch SIMs.

@TracketPacer Don’t stop doing what you are doing encouraging more people into networking & cyber security… but please don’t tar all of us older IT folks with the same brush! Every day is a learning day, and protecting the business with new (security) technology is what keeps me fighting!

@JordanEVGuy Shame though that the dearth of Type 2 chargers now leaves no provision? Why can’t sites provide some Type2s so there is always “something”?

@vxunderground This Subaru one specifically looks like an employee database schema. Others look more related to customers. Could still just be a schema from a test platform that’s been lest a little too open … or it might not…

@AndyatAuto @elonmusk @TiceRichard @reformparty_uk I think an honest yet simple conversation with the public is required. Maybe it needs to be explained like the Dinorwig Electric Mountain Hydro Station in the 1980s - just without as much civil engineering and valley-flooding?

@g8ilz @LampLighterBot @AndyatAuto @BBCNews @powered_by_pod Not sure this is as strict as you suggest; Most is a common sense approach to phase loading to prevent you as a human having access to 415v between phases in one place. But if your ring main is on a phase, and your car charger on a phase and your heat pump on a phase then ok?

@Crap_Portraits @TeslaFB13 @AndyatAuto @BBCNews @powered_by_pod People are having to upgrade to 100A and some I know with larger homes and who want 2 chargers and heat pumps are opting for a 3-Phase Supply.

@Crap_Portraits @TeslaFB13 @AndyatAuto @BBCNews @powered_by_pod Agree re CT Clamps. But DNO may not accept these as mitigation. The point is that you may not have sufficient capacity for an EV charger if you heat your house electrically, cook electrically, and heat your water/shower electrically, with an older property on a 63A supply.

@eu_bike @AndyatAuto @BBCNews @powered_by_pod You have c.15kW at 63A. How you use it is up to you. But most people have not had to heat their home, power their shower, cook their food and power their transport from a single energy source until now. That gas boiler running at 60-80kW has been cheap and simple.

@eu_bike @AndyatAuto @BBCNews @powered_by_pod Not saying you can’t have a charger with 63A. But if you have storage heating, power-shower & oven things get tight. Ask anyone who’s used their granny charger what it does to their sockets. My Mercedes 2.4kW Granny Charger makes stuff very hot. Older or cheap sockets do scorch.

@Crap_Portraits @TeslaFB13 @AndyatAuto @BBCNews @powered_by_pod If you put 3x3kW electric heaters on your 32A ring-main, something with get toasty and poppy pretty quickly, and that’s not the heaters 😉. You would be drawing 9kW through a circuit designed for 7.2KW. MCB should trip. Spread them out on different circuits - no problem.

@TeslaFB13 @AndyatAuto @BBCNews @powered_by_pod I think you will find you are not allowed to install equipment based on a presumption of smart or reduced usage - it’s based on device ratings that a user could reasonably use if in boost or override mode. If they could run their heat-pump, car-charger and power-shower together.

@NetzerohomeUk @AndyatAuto @BBCNews @powered_by_pod Some of this does need an honest conversation. I’m involved in a Church Heating Project (with Heat Pumps replacing gas boilers), and people have no idea re the size of electricity supply their home/business will need in the future, and the DNOs just smile. Gas has been so easy.
