I applied the 5.0.1 Android Wear update yesterday and charged the G wach overnight...
From 7 AM to 2:30 PM I am now currently on 18% battery.. I haven't used the watch more that normal and Wear Battery Status isn't showing excessive usage..
I'll keep an eye out on this issue.
Next day update;
I've now removed instaweather and dislock
Fully charge and ready to go Wearbattery is now telling me that my watch is should last until tomorrow 4PM. This is much better than yesterday's performance.
6/01/2015 - update -
I've been using the LG G watch since the update and battery usage has gone back to normal. I also have a second LG G Smart watch which didn't suffer from the same issue post upgrade.

Get-CMDevice slow to retrieve many objects
I've found that if you use Get-CMDevice to get many objects it can take up to 20 minutes to return a result. It may look like it's not working but it is collecting data from SCCM, Just not fast like when you use the WMI query.

How to disable the rear parking sensor on a Holden Captiva
There is a small magnetic read switch in the electrical connector for the trailer connector. There is also a small magnet in the dust cover for the connector, if the dust cover flap is down the rear parking sensor (Parking Assist) will be disabled as the car assumes you have a trailer hooked up.
So either pull the dust cover down, hook up a trailer or remove the magnet.
I only found this out when the parking assist stopped working and I had to troubleshoot the issue by finding that my magnet had fallen out when I was removing the trailer coupling

George Brandis contradicts Malcolm Turnbull over piracy crackdown payments
Using the same logic RMS (formerly RTA) should have to pay for crime and drug enforcement because crime and drug users use our roads, RMS must be unwitting facilitators too. Farmers should pay for diabetes management because the food they produce is consumed by consumers who go on to get diabetes.
Perhaps I should call my local Internet 'Facilitator' and ask for a comment?
George Brandis contradicts Malcolm Turnbull over piracy crackdown payments: "''Obviously ISPs don't want to pay to make a contribution,'' Senator Brandis told The Australian. ''Their argument is that, 'Well, we're the innocent bystander'.
''Well, they're not an innocent bystander because they are an unwitting facilitator. We expect the ISPs to make a contribution to the cost of administrating the scheme. No side in this debate can pretend that it is uninvolved.''"
