I did look into it but I wasn’t sure as some people were complaining about reliability are you using it?
To be honest I am waiting because at the moment I am renting and I do want to get a bridge for every accessory.
I mean you can give it a quick try it using any existing machine - installing npm & npm packages should take you just a few minutes 
(obviously if you don’t have an always on machine - there are cheap alternatives like the RaspberyPi Zero out there, you should probably play with it first before biting into that though)
Xiaomi launch event… £20off voucher at 12pm and £1 phone?
I’m assuming they are going to have a “first 10 pieces for £1” or something similar you know to build up hype and brand awareness
Good luck getting it, it is probably going to be harder than snatching good seats for popular gig 
I watched the countdown and tried to get a £1 phone but somehow missed out. The counter seemed to end and almost instantly it was Sold Out… I figure there are probably only a couple at £1
Still a couple more tries.
Don’t bother with the flash sale, the terms and conditions says
But if you really want a chance, register, login, find the purchase page for the phone, wait until 1 minute before and then refresh refresh refresh and add to basket if it says £1. Good luck! 
I managed to pick up a Xiaomi Mi A2 for £160 and it is excellent, much better than my Samsung phones of old. The phone comes with Android one which is a plus and some decent specs. Who cares if the Chinese are caching all of my data 
Note: not UK edition and required buying a new charging cable! Oh no…

Has anyone got / played with the Xiaomi Mi 9 yet? It looks pretty impressive for a sub-£500 phone.
It’s not officially been released in the UK yet, but I’m thinking of buying one from somewhere like eBuyer (though am a little reluctant as they don’t seem well reviewed on Trustpilot!)
Double post, sorry.
So they’ve announced 30th April as the release date for the Mi 9 in the UK, though it’s expensive (£499 and £549 for 64gb and 128gb).
And only in black.
So I’ve gone and done something I’ve never done which is order from Amazon.es! 450 Euro (about £390) for the ocean blue 64gb. I’m keeping my fingers crossed it turns up in one piece!
