Stop switching the power off then there wouldn’t be a problem. The company is the fault
Maybe they’ll do that on the same day you stop writing ridiculous comments Steve !
It happens all the time because they can’t keep up with demand due to lack of investment in upgrading supply to the Island. Drones and those super hammers are just gimmicks
