Callum is engaged in Pokémon Nuzlockes on Pokémon Black and White, with a character named Bazooka, and is preparing for revenge against a trainer named Timmy. Mark is concluding his Atomfall playthrough and plans to play Dirt Rally 2.0, Automobilista 2, and revisit Starfield after its updates. Edwin has been sent outdoors to reconnect with nature after his last adventure and is expected to return to normal by teatime on Tuesday. Jeremy has returned from family outings in London and Paris and is busy completing a secret upcoming game for a walkthrough, while also enjoying Franco-Belgium comics. Ollie has escaped the Maw but needs time to recuperate after an encounter with Edwin. Julian anticipates a busy weekend due to a stag do but looks forward to playing strategy games afterward.

Specific features include hot water boost, hot water scheduling, Heat Link temperature control, and an Eco button. Additionally, the Google Home app now offers expanded controls for non-thermostat climate devices, outdoor weather and air quality information, outdoor temperature visibility, simplified settings, and bug fixes. Full temperature scheduling for older Nest thermostats has also been implemented in the Google Home app.
