    What's your approach to the contents of your garage/driveway

    In a bit of a conundrum right now and wondering how everyone else is dealing/dealt with it. It's that time where I'm getting my first adult car. Admittedly, having owned my first car now for some 12 years it is long overdue.... Now need get some kind of family car - that we'll probably have...

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    What did the prep work entail/how much of a PITA was it? We probably need to do a significant amount of wiring, and am trying to work out the trade-off between doing a lot of the prep work ourselves vs. just letting the builder + electrician do it. Job from me: Mounted the ring doorbell. Now to...

    Plusnet Discussion Thread

    Yeah, I'm conscious of this, although, there don't appear to be any sockets elsewhere in the house, and because we have brick walls, and solid floors it'd be a real pain to wire it elsewhere (know this as I'm trying to wire ethernet through the house soon). Yeah, I'm looking at the test...

    Plusnet Discussion Thread

    Depends what you mean for connection dropping. Still on WiFi but, yes, feels like connection dropping. Looked into this - they do indeed use their own DNS server... now to go Google and track down how to change it on their limited function router... edit: can't change the dns server on...

    Plusnet Discussion Thread

    Right, signed up to Plusnet the other day after moving into a new house as one of the better reviewed service providers out there, and now being limited to FTTC. Was quoted c. 63 down When the router first turned up, I was getting about 63 via Ethernet (basically not complaining), and 5-20...

    How much would you need to earn for a £510,000 mortgage

    You're missing a key bit here, although touched on by others, if the house price is 510k, then you're going to need at least a 10% deposit, 15% really to get a decent interest rate at the moment. So you're talking mortgage of closer to £433,500. Giving a salary of £86.7k+. Very few of the...

    Legoland

    Did the same thing a couple of years ago. Mini-world or whatever it was called has aged a hell of a lot, but as you say, had no issue going with the gf

    What do you cook in a pressure / Slow Cooker

    I do it in the instant pot because of the washing up... You can do a cracking pulled pork in it though. I can't remember specifically how long I do it for, but pressure cook and it's much quicker than some of the low and slow options.

    How's it so hard to find a basic modem

    Ok, think I might be the stupid one here. So, just moved house and am getting PlusNet installed at the weekend. Everything online suggests that their routers will not go modem only mode. I've got a RT-AC88U that from my previous flat that is only a router without a modem. It seems fairly...

    The nervous wait to exchange....

    Have had a rather fun experience over the past two weeks. Were obviously aiming for the 30th. W/c the 14th was all going well, thinking we would manage to exchange the following week. On the Friday our sellers who had previously said they didn't have a connected purchase decided to add one...

    Parking a Luton van

    Right guys. Think this best goes here, if not apologies and someone move it. I'm hiring a Luton van for about a week. In a flat with designated parking, but clearly not big enough (about 5m x 2.3m) to park a van. Got some residential streets nearby that we could in theory park on, but then it's...

    ** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES NOW ONLINE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (3090 / 3080 / 3070) **

    Been waiting awhile for a 3080, but ultimately gave up and snagged a 3070 in the recent drops. All things considered I'm coming from a 780, and not trying to play something like Cyberpunk at 4K so really no need for anything more powerful....

    Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

    So I’ve got 315mm clearance and could get 335mm if I take one of the front fans out but really don’t want to. I have managed to snag a 3070 TUF this morning (well being delivered in like a month but still) that’ll fit (299 length).
