Contemplating my next step regarding heating the home. This is (hopefully) no time soon. My current gas boiler is 14 years old, so getting close to end-of-life, but has recently been serviced and is working OK. But I like to know where I am going when the inevitable happens.

These are posts about gadgets and any kind of tech.
I bought a basic Eufy G40+ Robovac in November, then bought a more sophisticated X8 Pro model in December, because of a good price, and additional features.
So my new Robovac can cope with my rugs. It is a Eufy Clean G40+
That’s one of the good points. The Eufy Clean app is nice and clean, and the unexpected Alexa (and Google, apparently) integration is neat.
My first test didn’t start off impressing me, though.
I seem to have ordered a new toy. I have dabbled in astronomy before, and even a little astrophotography. I have a decent 4.5″ Orion telescope in the garage, that I keep planning to get out and see if the mirror has survived.
I’ve been posting a bit about power stations, particularly the Ecoflow brand, so I thought I’d add this nugget of info about their X-Boost feature.
I’ve been looking at Power Stations. By that, I don’t mean Battersea or Hinckley Point. I mean the battery backed boxes that can power mains kit when there is no mains electricity available.
I have had fun setting up the watch the way I want it, with a nice non-fussy face (ChronoBasic) and a personal target of 6,000 steps, rather than the usual default of 10,000.
My Pod Point charger was installed today. It went very smoothly, and the guy installing it was helpful in setting it up on my WiFi.
