To be fair, O2 has a massive issue with scammers and they need to do something about it. I switched to O2 about a year ago, keeping my old number. I'd rarely get scam calls or texts before I switched but since I've been with o2, I get 5-10 calls a week. Particularly annoying because I have to answer my phone due to my job

How does that work out in terms of energy consumption though?

If NVMe is at least 10x faster, but consumes 5x more power, it will use less energy to read or write the same amount of data overall.

What you are looking for is a handy man, you used to find them in the yellow pages, but try your favourite search provider?

My search came up with task rabbit uk as the first sponsored result...

Is it just me that gets triggered by these US companies which exist only to be an IT based middle man? Like mini cabs existed before Uber, but everyone acts like they never knew these things existed?

Agreed about the data farming, but I would recommend reading this if you haven't already. Not properly implementing the conventions is basically step 1 in that article.

I actively avoid Cadburys after Kraft took it over More Info. Wouldn't say it's a full boycott, because I do have a Crunchie every now and again (when Cadburys is the only thing on discount), but it has been more than 10 years now.

Thing is I just bought a box of miniture heroes and I'd say the chocolate has gone seriously downhill since I stopped buying it. Wondering if its just my taste that's changed or if anyone else agrees?

When they've reached end of life for the car, they are still useful.

EVs require high energy density so they get replaced when they don't store enough energy for their weight. However for grid storage, weight doesn't really matter (at least not as much) so a battery with 80% of its original capacity is a good (and cheap) solution.

When the market is mature, it will good for car owners who need to replace their batteries because the old one still has value.

If you only do it a couple of times a year, then why not hire an ICE for those journeys?

Some manufacturers used to provide this as an incentive when you bought an EV.
