how to listen to what you just missed on new bbc sounds?

So I have just had a skirmish with the new bbc sounds (now audio) website. I often want to listen to a program that was on earlier, so I would go to the live feed, click on schedule and pick the program from an hour back or whenever it was. Now the schedule just shows what's coming next and after a click or 2 I get to a schedule and at the top an "earlier today" link. Ah! so open that and there are all the programmes from earlier today - but almost none can be opened. WTF!

From a list of 14 programmes ONLY 1 can be played. If I look at yesterday only between 10% and 20% are playable. And just to top it off, search is totally F*cked as well. I wanted to listen to yesterday's OK Computer on radio4. schedule link not playable and search for ok computer or olga koch fails to show the program in the first 4 pages.

I use this as my main way of finding programs so this new version destroys 90% of the value of BBC radio for me

*edit* OOPS this was all because I forgot I was on a VPN and was using bbc.com - but my link to bbc.co.uk had just redirected me without me noticing. Now I am back home it is back as it was. I had not realised what a load crap the rest of the world has to put up with!

random switch ports glitching after power outage

I've got a netgear JGS524PE as the main core of my home network. Twice now after a power out a port has failed to work when power returns. I can plug other things into the failed port and port stays down. But if I power the switch off and on again, the port comes back and works OK. The cables in both cases are short commercial cat5e patch cables, one to my broadband router (2.5 GbE capable) and the other to a Protectli Vault FW4C running pfSense. wtf is going on?

Intelligent go and "help in the heat" - what happens to my bill?

Got the message about an hour ago so plugged in the car and said I need it tomorrow morning and it scheduled 4:30 to 5:00pm and a whole load in the middle of the night. I have batteries but no solar, so what happens money wise with this? In days of old I would have got cheap 'leccy for everything from 4:30 till 5:00, but if I've got it right now only the car gets the cheap leccy, so I should keep running the house (a bit more than usual with the A/C running) from the batteries.

Do I get any other benefit from this afternoon slot, or am I just supposed to get a warm fuzzy feeling about it? (it's currently dumping over 7kW into the car)

After working fine z axis calibration fails.

After running fine for years, failed at print start and said re-run calibration. I run z calibration and it fails just before the nozzle reaches the bed. The nozzle is about 1mm clear of the bed and the pinda sensor light has gone out. The Pinda sensor is about 2mm from the bed. It is a Mk3 that I got just after they were launched. I just installed firmware 3.14.1 (was at 3.14 when it initially failed). Message is "Calibration failed! Check the axes and run again." I have also done the pinda sensor tests which all worked OK. When I run the calibration both steppers run all the way to the top and rattle a bit, then it runs all the way down and just as it gets close to the bed (the pinda led has gone out. it fails. I have tried moving the pinda sensor up and down 1 thread, makes no difference. I have turned both z-axis screw rods by hand with the printer switched off and they both turn easily.

strange stain on wall under pictures. Do I need to clean this off?

About to redecorate, and under the picture the wall is like this. A quick wash has no effect. Wall was ragrolled with scumble 25 odd years ago. This is an inside wall so it's not caused by damp. Can I clean it off? If so, how? Do I need to clean it off or just paint over? And no it is not black mould, just a really mucky brown colour.
