    Porsche Owners Thread - If you own one or just like or hate them! :)

    As you will see above, I've just bought a 987.1 Cayman S (Manual). The car was inspected for bore score as part of pre purchase inspection and was totally clear. You of course will hear people telling you its rife, I mean, its not uncommon, but there are things to consider: - Don't leave the...

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    we have... er... 15? Amazon Echo devices and the like dotted around. Is that what you mean? Main reason for the LR was that if its just 3-5 meters better it will fix a problem I've got with some of my Ring Devices losing coverage intermittently. Interesting my current switch might work. I'll...

    pfsense/opnsense

    I'm tempted to swap out my Unifi UDM for a opnsense box, mainly to make use of the full breadth of my ISP capacity (Virgin Gig 1) - I'm peaking at just under 900 when testing behind my UDM with IPS turned on, and I get just over 1.1Gbit when using the Superhub directly. I'm wanting to make sure...

This has most of my ethernet devices (NAS, Desktop PC, Hue Bridge, etc> Ethernet from that switch into the loft, where there is another US-8-60W Two nanoHDs connected to the loft...

    Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D

    So I've got the 7800X3D at the moment and I still get 'MainThread' as my limiter on FS2020. I get the impression a 7950X3D would be better performance (better single thread and simply more cores, not that I ever seem to saturate 8 cores anyway) - but if you have personal experience I'm...

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    I think I know the answer, but has anyone with Sky Stream had any joy with retention when their initial contract was up? My 18 months isn't up until May, but with seemingly an explosion of streaming services in the 18 months since I've got it, I find myself with: Sky with Cinema Pack Netflix...

    New TV for the Lounge

    I use a sky tv puck and the Xbox series x as the main two devices. As for educating the kids, both have autism so it’s not a straightforward situation. I’ll go and have a look at one of these LG panels and see what I think. Thanks folks

    Who owns a Golf GTD / GTI / R?

    Right, a handful of photos from tonights endeavour. Arrived at my friends house to fit the GFB DV+, r8 Coilpacks, and replacement of the Cam Follower. He's a bit of a dab hand with a spanner. One of his rally school Impreza's up on stands next to the trusty Golf. I realised he also has...

    It absolutely was :) 'Kicked from server, reason: LPB' I may have just ordered Gig1 as the £100 cashback makes the monthly average over the next 18 months is an astonishing £36. Granted there will be a price rise in there at some point, but I'll give it a shot. Now I just need unify to...

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    It's good to see rates are finally starting to come down a bit. I know rates are no where near record highs, but the comparisons to 30+ years ago are silly when you look at the scale of borrowing in total and house price:income. I'm hopeful we see more progress before my deal is up in Jan 27 -...

    Zen Static IP Address

    I'm considering a move to Zen (I have BT FTTP at the moment, house also wired for Virgin Media which was awful). I assume I can do a switch and not change any equipment (I use a Unifi Dream Machine as my Router).... is that right?

    Virgin Media Discussion Thread

    I remember having 512k cable via Telewest (became Blueyonder, became Virgin Media) in 2001. I've had cable at various houses over the 20 odd years since and one thing is the same, peak time congestion massively impacting the performance.

    NHS=Negligent Health Service

    Just to give balance as the parent of two disabled children - and someone waiting for ACL reconstruction surgery - I've found the NHS to be excellent. They're horrifically overstretched and need better funding. No doubt they could be more efficient, but so can any colossally sized organisation.
