I'm making my own bacon (for want of a better description), so needed something to slice it.
I've a pork belly that's been curing for a week or so and will have a go later after I've had a few beers.
What could possibly go wrong :eek: ..

I once chopped off a small slice of my fingertip with a biltong cutter. It was the most painful thing I've ever experienced, true story.


Have fun :)
 
My genius is sometimes frightening :eek:

Bought a music composer stand (sold as a laptop/projector stand but the branding on the stand says otherwise lol) thing design for musical folks, but because it's so rigid and hefty, it works great as a laptop floor stand so I can WFH without having the laptop clutter my desk (I don't fold it closed but instead like to use the screen as a secondary display). Also a USB-C multihub so I only need to plug in the one cable now.

And also jumped back to EE from O2. 125GB data, £20 a month, 12 months SIMO. I switched to o2 late last year from EE because the plan was half the price. Big mistake. o2's speeds are terrible, even on full bars 4G+ I was averaging 2-8Mbps, closer to 2 95% of the time, which meant my car journeys were full of music stuttering and that nonsense. Even 5G wasn't much better where available.

Here take a look, both SIMs on the same phone in the same place, just switching data between each one, and keep in mind this EE plan is 100Mbps capped, last year I was uncapped and saw up to 733Mbps at some points. Utterly pointless on a phone obviously, but the room to work with meant no stuttering even in areas of 1 bar or whatever.

EE annoy me with their pricing but then every time I bring one of our O2 or Voda devices home the performance is... not great. Weirdly, on O2, I get great measurement throughput but the actual experience makes me wonder if they're optimising for benchmarks *dons tin foil*.
 
I went o2 because they have the deal with VM so I could have got my Gigabit broadband for the price of 500Mbps in June - but now realise that realiable and fast mobile internet is a much better thing to have.

O2 are really strange one, 5G plenty of bars, signal to noise values within norms, yet the speeds are just garbage. No packet loss but lots of latency and jitter resulting in stuttering Spotify etc when driving. Just not great. Right now flicking between the two (got dual SIMs) the difference in how quick anything web related responds is distinctly obvious. It has actually become worse since Jan, I've been on o2 since November and it used to be around 30Mbps which was fine, so obviously some congestion/oversub issues in multiple locations as I saw the same experience everywhere.

Know the feeling - did a speed test earlier with full 5G signal and was only 30mb. Even with full 4G signal o2 normally grinds to a halt in Brighton, issue is it’s the only provider that gets any signal in the office.
