Interesting.  I wish merlin would support the BT10 router, cake qos does make a difference.

Have you upgraded to fttp now or will it be daisychaining off the dsl router?

iPhone Air demand failed to meet Apple’s expectations and the company’s supply chain is scaling back shipments and production, reports Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Suppliers are expected to reduce capacity by more than 80 percent between now and the first quarter of 2026, and some components with longer lead times will be discontinued by the end of 2025.

 

According to Kuo, the ‌iPhone Air‌’s poor performance suggests that the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro models already “cover the majority of high-end user demand,” so there is little room for new market segments.

There have been multiple reports suggesting the ‌iPhone Air‌ has failed to catch on with consumers. Last week, Japan’s Mizuho Securities said that Apple would reduce iPhone Air production by a million units because of underwhelming sales performance, and earlier today, Nikkei said that there is “virtually no demand” for the ‌iPhone Air‌, and that Apple would “drastically” cut production.

Interesting – I guess a premium priced phone with so many compromises for thinness just wasn’t going to catch on.  I’m surprised it even came out given Jonny Ive isn’t there anymore. He was responsible for removing all the ports on the Macbook Pro in favour of thinness which they ended up going back the other way on. Thought they would have learned the lesson.  Then again, I guess the iphone air is the precursor to the Foldable one due soon, probably with much of the technology from that.

Installed via dirty upgrade, no issues so far over 48h

Best to do an ethernet run, those lengths are fine, and cat6 is cheap these days and perfect for the use case.

 

Fairly easily to just generally run a cable and pin it to the skirting etc. But when I had Ethernet run in my house, the least disruptive but hidden way to do it was rod it up the cavity, across the loft, and then down the cavity in the intended room. Saved any open heart surgery to run cables.

I updated with the enablement package manually but seem to have zero of the new features like new start menu, speed test etc.

Yeah indeed just ran the upgrade using the update function in the UI, didn’t reset to factory defaults. If I get any weird behavior I may go back and do that but seems to be fine so far.

Interesting update. I wonder what i’ll be missing out on by not factory resetting afterwards? defaults on the password and upnp (which i’d enable again anyway?)

 

Not sure I want to go through and re-do all the settings again. Pretty chunky update though

Ah you got one through in the end. It’s the only thing I miss having left octopus now. I did see a tweet from them that said it should still work via your octopus app but I’ve not found a way to get any data now that I’ve moved. Keeping hold of mine just in case.

I’ve gone with their sept single rate 13m tariff. They have an ev tariff which is cheaper than octopus iog – I’ll be getting an ev in the near future so will switch to that when necessary.

Seems only potential downside is that they bill in full for your prior months usage rather than having a set direct debit every month. Also, of course the octopus home mini won’t work with fuse but I believe you can still see live data in the octopus app from the device even if no longer with them.

I see the new version of octopus tracker has come out and once again they’ve hiked the profit margins.  I’ve kicked off a switch now it’s no longer anywhere near a good value.

 

If anyone wants a Fuse referral for between £25-£150 credit let me know
