I'm an experienced London-based freelancer Android developer looking for additional UK clients who need ad-hoc, part-time or smaller projects worked on. If you know anyone please pass this on (I will pay a referral for projects). DMs open. #AndroidDev

@nicalpi Late to the party, but let me know if I can help re Android!

keen to speak to native iOS and/or Android devs for a project we have. Ideally UK based, and even better if around Bristol. We already have a native shell (Turbo Native) in both platforms and are looking to connect to the health kits on the platform. Who should I speak to?

@PeteApps Lendlease built our 120m+ block (I'm RMC dir) in 2016 in London, nearly 300 units, potentially combustible balcony decking. Refuses us remediation but then tells Architect's Digest "it had not received any specific fire safety claims". Disingenuous at best.

And Lendlease, behind projects such as the demolition of the Heygate Estate in Elephant and Castle and its replacement with luxury private housing. A firm so cash strapped they only turned over around £5bn last year

Among the 11 developers yet to sign the building safety remediation contract is Grenfell Tower contractor Rydon. Risible.

@BH_CAG Please DM me about Lendlease and remediation?

@Veeoh @meeteve Yes, but why an Apple one and not the products from Google, Amazon, SmartThings, etc that include (or will soon) a thread border router?

@ollieandroid @meeteve Probably something to do with them being a thread product I'd assume? Not expert though so maybe (probably!) wrong.

@meeteve Hey, so I've heard #Matter update is rolling out to select hardware. By 'rolling out' do they mean US first and sod the rest of the world, or all over at once (ish)?

@meeteve @Veeoh Why is an Apple thread border router required? I bought an Eve product expecting to upgrade today using an iOS device (as promised by Eve), but now it's only in preview and this hardware requirement.

@Veeoh All over at once evehome.com/meet-matter

@gigastacey Google Home Android has appeared in the CSA directory, on the 28th. Hopefully that means announcements soon. csa-iot.org/csa_product/go…

@merosshome Please confirm which of your current products are confirmed will work with Thread and Matter?

@verge This is a disappointing step backwards. The old design was clear and readable but now there's a fog of poorly contrasted neon and the usability and legibility are terrible. My eyes hurt trying to read it. Sadly I will read Verge less often now.

Welcome to the new Verge theverge.com/2022/9/13/2334…

@flicsmartbutton @csaiot That's disappointing as a major benefit of Matter is no more hubs are needed. It sounds like Flic buttons don't support Thread. Thanks anyway.

@ollieandroid @csaiot Hi Ollie, The Flic Hub LR or Flic Hub Mini will be needed.

We joined the #Matter Alliance by @csaiot 🎉 This new certification puts inter-compatibility of smart home devices on a whole new level and opens a whole new world of integrations for #Flic 🤝 Read more about Matter & Flic at flic.io/blog/flic-matt…

@owasow I'm so pleased to read this! Sending so much love and best wishes to you both during such a difficult time. ❤️

Amazing news: Jen has been found! Thanks to volunteers, everyone sharing, and a caring officer who saw the posts and contacted our tip line, we’ve found her! She’s safe and I’m flying to Miami now. I am overcome with gratitude to everyone for rallying so hard. Thank you 🙏🏽

@hitherejoe Great quotes in there. I have a copy sat waiting to be read and am inspired to get started on it now. Thanks Joe!

Some of my favourite highlights from the book:

I just finished finished reading "The Psychology of Money". Loved this book - some great ideas to get you thinking on how we view and behave with money 💰 goodreads.com/en/book/show/4…

@MPBarnwell I had an unsettling experience with a Doordeck team member today.

@dankim I've been doing Android development for ten years now I think, and still find things like changing the colour of some part or other of a widget can be one of the most tedious and painful things to do because of styles/themes.

Leaders of this movement are defined by having great privilege while feigning martyrdom and one couldn't sum it up with a more apt visual.

@se1 Kent & Surrey air ambulance.

Air ambulance in Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park. May be linked to incident at Elephant Road.

@rrittenhouse @LastPassHelp LastPass autofill on Android 11 on my Pixel 5 still barely works. Most of the time tapping on a field in a browser form still fails to open the autofill window. It appears to be worse when LastPass is not authenticated suggesting the LastPass app is buggy. Not worth paying for.

@LastPassHelp @ollieandroid Is there any update to this? I'm tired of paying for this application that I can't use.

@LastPassHelp No support for keyboard Autofill on Android 11? Also, why has Lastpass Autofill stopped working in Chrome since upgrading to Android 11? (works fine with apps)

They're installing mobile phone masts, a whole family of them.

@se1 Work has started on the LCC tower. They're building steel structures on the roof but not sure if for relocated mobile phone masts, or platforms to drop teams down to do the exterior facade works announced a while ago?

They're also replacing large sloping windows in the centre of the site.
