Upgraded, Refreshed, and Ready: Welcome to the New Engine Behind the Blog!
If you’ve noticed things looking a little sleeker or loading just a bit faster around here today, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. We just wrapped up a major engine swap behind the scenes!
Our site’s core framework has been upgraded to the latest stable release.
Why the Upgrade Matters (The Good Stuff)
While most of the heavy lifting happens under the hood, this upgrade brings some massive perks directly to you:
After many months of rumours that that the facelift for Hyundai’s Hot Hatches (the i30N and i20N) was just around the corner, then for almost as long the counter argument that the models were about to be discontinued the facts have emerged.
Hyundai have confirmed that as of February 2024 the petrol ‘N’ models of their vehicles have been discontinued in Europe. Hyundai will now focus their N-Car division on EVs and continue towards their carbon goal of Net Zero.
In an official statement, Hyundai said: ‘Production of the ICE N models has ceased for the European market starting from February, in line with our commitment to offering a zero-tailpipe-emission line-up to our customers by 2035 and to operating 100 per cent carbon neutrally by 2045. Going forward in Europe, Hyundai is developing Hyundai N as a pioneer of high-performance EVs. Our customers will benefit from technological developments that will make EVs even more attractive in the future.’
Ex Hurricane Ophelia (previously a category 3 hurricane – the most intense storm ever recorded as far east on the globe) is due to hit the south west of Ireland in the next few hours. It will then sweep across the island leaving the north coast at about 10pm. High winds will likely continue into Tuesday.
During these hours this storm will be intense, it has been described as a 50 year storm, the Met Office, Irish Weather Authority, both Governemnts have issued advise. Stay away from the coast, don’t go out unless you have to, stay safe, secure any loose property, be careful of debris trees etc.
Be prepared – have a torch, charge your phone, charge your power banks, have batteries, a battery powered radio, candles… if you have a land line – it may well work without electricity so make sure it is plugged in. This storm will most likely pass quickly so don’t panic and stay safe.
This advise is sound – don’t be a hero and don’t put our real heroes (the emergency services) in a position where you have to be saved from your own stupidity.
If you live in the UK, are an Apple user and have updated your gear to iOS9 you have probably been left wondering where on Earth is this news app I heard all about?
Apple released it to the US in iOS9 but to ensure it worked, allegedly, the rest of the world had to wait. (Workarounds did exist such as changing your phone’s region).
Well now the wait is officially over. Download and install iOS9.1 and you will be greater by that nice new shiny News app sitting right there on your homescreen!
