Solar panel spammer hit by UK’s biggest ever nuisance calls fine

Re: A thought... (a solution?)

For those who don't mind spending some money on solving the problem, get a trueCall. Regular and known callers don't get intercepted once you set it up but spam calls drop to very near zero. Those few that do stick with it long enough to cause your phone to ring, can then be zapped by a key press without any need to speak to them. The peace is bliss! As is knowing once again that the ringing phone is a genuine caller.

It has been interesting to hear many of the new callers (not as yet on the Allow list) asking about the device as they too are fed up with spam calls.

DIY bath automation

You can get close to the automated bath system you desire by installing a thermostatic filler and a Nove-Flo which will turn off the water when it reaches the overflow.

Thumbs down and Comments

Comments link at article top too?

Any chance of El Reg following the lead set by Reg Hardware in placing the Comments link in the top grey bar as well as the bottom one on all articles?

When using the excellent "Reader" option on the iPad, two taps gets me rapidly to the comentards' opinions on a Hardware article but elsewhere I'm forced to scroll to the bottom between the taps to get to these nuggets.  Tiresome on the longer items.
