Welcome to Shadow Accord!

When Chloe Macintosh, Brent Hoberman, Julien Callède and Ning Li launched Made.com from their East London office in 2010, the co-founders had their sights set on becoming 'Generation Rents go-to homeware brand.

He explained: 'Made very quickly became a very innovative place to purchase your furniture and homewares, with its nimble approach to providing customers with quality items at good prices it captured the zeitgeist of living in hotel-style homes that were Instagramable and gave people boasting power.

With no previous-gen devices in the mix, the 6GHz band offers cleaner bandwidth, too, with a significant reduction in interference from nearby networks and devices. That might make the Nest Wifi Pro a good fit for densely populated areas with lots of neighbor networks that overlap with your own.

Nick concluded: 'With TV shows like The Repair Shop and TikTok tutorials showing us how to upcycle furniture, shoppers are now aware that furniture is something that can increase value in future - unlike the products Made sell.'

As a digital-first business, brand expert Nick Ede says Made.com was lightyears ahead of its competition with its swish website, Gadgetinku.Com easy-to-use app and their virtual interior design service - which gave customers free advice for creating their dream living space.

It follows an announcement last week that EE, which is owned by BT, would start offering customers cyber and home security packages through a partnership with antivirus firm Norton and alarm system group Verisure. 

Plans for EE's expansion come ahead of BT's half-year results this Thursday, with many investors looking to see how the FTSE100 firm is holding up amid fears the cost-of-living squeeze will cause customers to cut back on internet and phone plans. 

That's not the case with the Nest Wifi Pro. Each device is identical and interchangeable, and each one comes with a pair of gigabit Ethernet ports, so if you're ready to run some cables through your walls for a speedier mesh, you'll be all set.

Simon Deakin, a professor of Law at the University of Cambridge, Gadgetinku said if 100 or more employees are sacked within a period of 90 days, the Business Secretary must be notified 45 days before the first dismissal.

While many staff appear to have already learned they no longer have a job when they woke up to find their computers had been wiped, workers received an email from Twitter's HR department on Saturday which said they had until 9am on Tuesday to nominate any current employee.

Nick continued: 'The tides have changed in home furnishings and with competition so fierce from John Lewis and their successful every day range and also the frustration of having to wait weeks if not month for delivery the glow has come off the brand and it is losing money fast.

So is the Nest Wifi Pro more than twice as fast as before, as the speed rating suggests? First off, it's very important to remember that your devices can only connect to one band at a time, so those combined-band speed ratings are a bit misleading. Still, in Google's listing for the Nest Wifi Pro, the company notes that Wi-Fi 6E is up to twice as fast as Wi-Fi 6, largely thanks to the support for multiple 160MHz-width channels of traffic on the 6GHz band. That tells you that the system's biggest speed gains are likely to come to Wi-Fi 6E devices that can make full use of that 6GHz band.

Twitter employee Simon Balmain told Sky News: 'Late last night we all received an email saying there is going to be a large reduction in headcount and the email stated that if we would be laid off, it would go to our personal email and if not to our work email.

Mr Clancy described the situation as the 'digital P&O' - in reference to the shipping company, which was widely condemned after it sacked nearly 800 crew members without notice in March and replaced them with cheaper agency workers.

Nest Wifi Pro says 'see ya later, smart speakers' At a glance, the Nest Wifi Pro's biggest change to the Nest Wifi pitch is that it ditches the smart speakers that come built into each extender in the second-gen Nest Wifi system from a few years ago. In fact, Nest Wifi Pro doesn't feature separate extenders (or "Points," as Nest calls them) at all.
