UK cops trial £250k drone squadron

The first one, shown as a helmet is the model which is being deployed, the second one with four blades is the predecessor.

At least that is what I hope.

Don't take a Leaf out of this book: Nissan electric car app has ZERO authentication

We have a Nissan Leaf, I must admit I noticed that the security seemed a bit lax.

It's a great car and pretty quick nippy car, but the lack of App security is unacceptable.

The app itself used to fail for days - often when it was very cold or hot, presumably because everyone logs in to preheat their car using their heated wheel, seats and main climate on these frosty mornings.

There was a major app update recently, with a new UX and GUI, So I am a little surprised it didn't get sorted out then!

That said,

I still prefer driving the Nissan to driving my E Class Coupe on anything but long motorway miles, but the other half has it for her daily driver! :D

The climate will come on to a preset temp - you cannot change the temp in the app. Would take quite some time to drain the battery as the climate on the Gen 2 Leaf as it uses a heat pump and it very efficient, unless the outside air temp drops below 2-4c - In which case it uses a heating element.

T-Mobile's Full Monty speed 'capped at 1Mb/s'

I recently signed up on a small biz tariff,

Yes all new T-mob tariffs for data are restricted from 1 Mb and some larger packages 1.8Mb.

No where does it say in any T's and C's that this is happening and very very few employees either know or admit this!

They also charge for call diverts and do not have call conferencing much to my amazement.

Other then that they seem ok, but cannot help thinking there the new cheapy brand of EE.
