    Any way to disable landscape mode/rotation on ocuk mobile web? (android, edge)

    On Android with the ocuk forum saved as an Edge "app", I've got auto screen rotation disabled in phone settings but ocuk doesn't seem to respect it and still rotates. Doesn't happen with other sites I've saved as apps so thinking it's specific to ocuk. Any way to disable this?

    Do you charge your children "keep" or rent? Do/did you pay it yourself?

    My parents always struggled financially (lost the house in the financial crisis when we were young) so all of us (5 kids) were asked to pay rent when we started working. Usually 3 of us were paying rent at any given period as there was 10 year range in our ages. From 18 I was paying £300/m...

    Beard dying?

    38 too (Punjabi) and mine is still like 95% black, just some greys at the sideburns and side of head. Same goes for my entire body in fact, only a handful of greys in the middle of my chest.

    How often do you use a pen or pencil to write?

    Quite regularly but only short form stuff, notes, post-its, sketching revolutionary new PC layouts, reorganising my room for the 100th time, etc. Haven't written anything long form by hand for about 20 years I think.

    Latest windows 11 insider update allows GTA V to work

    I was on W11 beta and stuck in insider program, I *think* (it was a while ago and I've messed around with so many windows installs so can't be sure) I got out of it by either doing a Windows reset or reinstalling from usb (run setup.exe while loaded into Windows and select to keep files and...

    What Will You Do If Windows 12 Isn't Free?

    I already pay for MS 365 family sub, if they bundle the Windows license in and let you carry it across to other machines that would be pretty convenient as I change hardware quite often. Would hesitate to pay any more than £1/month extra for it though.

    BENQ XL2546 - Weird static/artifacts in Windows 11

    Bought this monitor used a few months ago. I dual-boot W10 for gaming and W11 for general stuff, both with the latest AMD drivers after cleaning with DDU. Monitor works flawless in W10 during gaming or light browsing, however in W11 I randomly get a vertical band of pink static/artifacts...

    A little help please not sure what could be busted

    As a quick alternative to rule out Windows, create a Ventoy USB and put HBCD (Hiren's Boot CD) ISO on there. If that runs fine then I would say it's likely your Windows installation.

    Buyer claiming item defective - eBay

    A lot of people also misuse 'item defective' for items they simply changed their mind about because the return period ran out.

    PC failing to start up

    1) You tried 2 sticks at a time but I would really try 1 stick at a time in each slot (try all ram sticks individually this way). 2) Unplug all unnecessary components (case fans, rgb and drives) and try booting with just the mobo, cpu, ram and gpu. 3) Reseat your CPU and check your socket for...

    Should assisted suicide be legal (for everyone)?

    Inclined to say yes, but obstacles to execution (>_>) in diy methods can act as strong deterrents (eg gruesome pain/suffering) which force people to rethink. Heard many stories of people set on doing it but were too afraid to, or were following through and some last minute obstacle delayed them...

    Courier.. Is it acceptable to enter your back garden?

    Unlocking the gate is crossing the line imo, even if it was left ajar they shouldn't be walking around your personal space. Could be doing all sorts back there :p

    Buyer claiming item defective - eBay

    Rejecting the return never works, buyer can just file a claim and ebay will force you to take it back anyway BUT you may be able to sort it out with customer support once all is done. I sold a CPU last year which I knew was working, shipped properly in plastic clamshell, esd bag and bubble...
