Blog2021 ≫ Broken Google Home

All the Google Homes have gone offline. Looks like the wifi is off, but it's not, everything else is ok. I restarted them and I restarted the wifi but still nothing. They must have had a software update, but now they think they are offline how will they get the repairing software update? Or are they just trying to connect now via something that is blocked by my https://pi-hole.net ?

Got an email from Microsoft today, with links to by the new XBox, so it's gone mainstream now. We have not had our moneysworth out of it yet. Thing one is playing quite a lot, but not games that take advantage of it, and not discovering games that are included in our subscription. Thing two is still on the Nintendo Switch.

One more things, Brewdog SPOILED the beer club box they are sending in an email. So now I know what's coming, and I know I can't drink 1/4 of the beer in it and probably won't drink another 1/4... still there is a £10 voucher to spend in a Brewdog bar in there appara so that will compensate a bit.

Actually more than one more thing. Thing one had his haircut. Thing two and I are still wanting.

Good grief, Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert was twenty-nine years ago today! How can that be??? Thanks again Andy for the tickets, thanks every year for ever.
