Nest 2021 - any Lenovo questions/topics I should cover?

2021-07-19 Thread Mark Pearson
Hi Fedorans Lenovo are sponsoring Nest this year but unfortunately it clashes with my family holiday and so I won't be able to attend the event itself - I'll be by a lake in a cottage with no network access... I'm really disappointed to be missing Nest as I really enjoyed it last year.
