Might want to put your post text outside of the quote otherwise it can get lost :) It can happen. My car supposedly has a 52 litre tank but I have put 56 litres in it before. That's obviously cutting it very fine, but it's certainly possible to do on some cars if you push it to the limits...

Yeah I failed back to my Toob line this morning and it's all back to normal. Didn't get an email though. Still, despite that I'm happy with the service overall. First time I've had any real issue and I've had it for nearly a year now so I can't complain too much.

Yes it’s practically unusable for me at the moment and has been since earlier on in the evening. Speed tests are showing full speed down but the upload is insanely slow and my firewall is showing packet loss on the gateway monitor. I’ve just forced my firewall over to my VM backup line for...

While I haven’t had the pleasure of business class, I also agree with the comments about BA. I flew with BA on an A350 for the first time back in February. Only in cattle class admittedly, but the seats were awful and quite possibly the worst seats I’ve ever encountered on an airline. Cramped...

Just get a short SATA power extension cable for a few quid and cut the wire on that.

That is interesting that the 1800Mb service is only 120Mb upload. It's showing as available in my area, but indeed with only 120Mb up which is strange as I thought it was 220Mb. Clearly not anymore.

Still trying to decide what GPU to pair with my Xeon X3330 setup (Core 2 Quad Q9400). The 8800 GTX is definitely running way too hot and either the card is playing up or it's temperature related, but I had some stuttering and black screen flickering in games. Got the 7900 GS in there at the...

I've been looking to put together a Core 2 system for a while now to get that full mid to late 00s experience. I did some digging around in my loft and surprisingly I managed to find nearly everything for a fairly period correct LGA775 system. Specs are: Engineering Sample Xeon X3330 (which...

I'd just solder them personally, although this does need care because the heat can easily melt back some of the insulation. Alternatively buy a male and female RCA connector and solder or crimp one on each end to then be able to just plug them together.

Yeah that's also worth checking out. I'm with o2 and actually get free roaming in the USA. Only thing is, it's limited to 0.5Mbit which is why I got the eSIM. I'm sure not all providers are that crap though, and no doubt if I didn't have 'free' roaming and had to pay extra for it, it wouldn't...

Got an Airolo eSIM for my USA trip myself. 10GB worked out to a shade over £8 with a discount code. Can’t go too wrong with that.

Well that's the problem. A few of the apps that would normally work are actually being blocked deliberately like YouTube and maybe Spotify so a web browser is the only option: https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/18/24043540/youtube-spotify-apps-apple-vision-pro-visionos

There are laptops with magnetic charge connectors. The more recent MacBooks have these (again, after Apple stopped for a few years) and I know Surface laptops have them too. There may well be others, but I’d definitely be trying to find something with a magnetic port. You can also get magnetic...

Making full use of the car seats that were sat in the house for a short while :)

That's pretty harsh. I have seen cars parked up in the inspection area with bumpers removed before now so it could've been worse. Does make me wonder what their criteria is though. For years I used to go over regularly, like at least once a month and I never had any problems except for one...

Really enjoying mine so far. It does feel a bit of a waste in that I don't think I really do anything to push it, but it's a joy to use and I'm really liking the 14" screen. Coming from a 13" MacBook Air I didn't expect to really notice much when it came to the screen size, but I do. Also...

I’ve got to figure out Heathrow airport parking myself for a week in February. Amazing how much they rip you off. My sister lives in Staines so with any luck I can park up at her house then just get a taxi to the airport, but need to figure out a backup plan.

I went for the space black, mainly because I have a space grey M1 MacBook Air too (that my wife will now be getting) so fancied a bit of a change. I quite like the colour :) Lighting in this room is a bit dim, but here's space black vs space grey: Have to say that even that base spec M1...

Anyone else got theirs yet? Got my 14" M3 Pro in space black yesterday but haven't really had a chance to do much with it just yet. Initial impressions are good though. It is a bit of a shame that Apple gimped the M3 Pro so that it's not really any faster than the M2 Pro in CPU tasks (or GPU...

Absolutely right. But if it's a tossup between what's probably £700+ from Apple or £279 for a more ghetto alternative, I'd be carefully considering my options as it's not so clear cut. It could work out better to just buy a brand new one and then sell the broken one on Ebay - as someone might...
