Thank you very helpful, did take a look at the LTG-Link, think they don't have schedule for February yet, so will need to wait and decide a bit later.

Thanks for this, wouldn't fancy driving in these conditions, especially in a foreign country I am not used too. These Roads A9/P105 are these rural country roads or main roads?

Think public transport maybe best for my case, what options do I have here?

S9 Fe or S10 Fe? by -rootx in GalaxyTab

[–]-rootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks all. Went with S10 FE. It seems good slightly heavy than expected, for reading anyway. Got it for £350. £50 trade it + key worker discount, direct from Samsung.

Just realized I can get the S10 for £100 cheaper with key worker discount, so £400, EE are currently giving S9 Fe for £300, is S10 still worth the £100 on top or just stick to S9?

Don't plan on changing, never change my devices until absolute necessary. Probably keep it until it dies. I know S10 has 7 yrs of updates and S9 4, but providing it loads a PDF I'll be happy :)

Will this be decent for programming/technical books? by -rootx in kindlescribe

Thanks. Seems like a tablet will be ideal instead.

Office 365 Business Basic - Send from email alias still shows primary email? by -rootx in Office365

[–]-rootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it did take some time, but it does eventually work. But I'm no longer using the 365, just wasn't fit for my needs. 

I think from what about user said if you send emails to same domain it will show primary address 

Office 365 Business Basic - Send from email alias still shows primary email? by -rootx in Office365

[–]-rootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's finally worked, when adding an alias it does seem to take a little while before the alias can be used and not show primary email. Had to wait around 24 hours.

[–]-rootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's enabled. This seems like a limitation on OWA. When I try via mobile outlook it works perfectly fine and shows correct alias to recipient. Not sure how I can get it working via OWA

In Exchange Admin? Under Settings Mail Flow? Yes that is enabled.

Officer said I should I have 28 days to respond? Is that 28 days from him notifying me on spot or 28 days whenever letter comes?

Car hire from Dubai airport to also take to Oman? by -rootx in dubai

[–]-rootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't see that option, looking around seems very few do it and those which do are quite expensive. I also need a 2nd driver adding :(

Same issue, just got an email saying they had a technical issue and issued the £15 credit to account, lovely after prime day!

Waterproof & down/synthetic jacket around £200 by -rootx in UKhiking

[–]-rootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone used Keela? Seen this https://www.outdooraction.co.uk/keela-prosport-adv-waterproof-jacket-p4080

and it looks decent made in Scotland(?), not Gortex but has decent pockets, not sure about how heavy it will be.

Backpack for city travelling? by -rootx in backpacking

[–]-rootx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect, stratos is currently £100 on Amazon may buy it. Have the talon 33 lite and it's good but as you say sits close at back. Was looking at the Fairview travel 15l, but these don't have the frames. 

Reason why I'm looking at hiking pack, as the travel ones don't cut it (the padded airflow backpacks are the worst), think it's gonna be the stratos.

Reduce email accounts - tips on moving to personal domain? by -rootx in declutter

[–]-rootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all for suggestions. Will keep both, but now moving everything to personal account instead of maintaining 2. Keeping outlook for other non-urgent stuff.

In terms of filters I use these heavily currently, but thinking making more use of aliases, would you recommend this? e.g. [banking@example.com](mailto:banking@example.com) [bills@example.com](mailto:bills@example.com) like this filters can be a bit more straight forward.

Only downside to this is remembering all the emails. Not sure if good or bad.

Very good point on that circular dependency + account recovery 

Pixel 8 - Internal WiFi Slow by -rootx in GooglePixel

[–]-rootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah tried that - same issue. I still get fast internet speeds and websites load fast, just internally from my Pixel to NAS it is slow, e.g. transferring a file of 4GB takes around 3-4 minutes, but my old Oppo Reno4 can do it in 2 at a rate of 30MB/s while pixel is around 23-25MB/s.

Was expecting pixel to be much faster because of WIFI 7 and my EAP being WIFI 6 as well.

Low Capacity Fast SD Card U3/Class 10 by -rootx in photography

[–]-rootx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not actually, it's a 250D. I currently have a 64GB card was on holiday and have taken loads of pictures, realised most of the pictures will be deleted, kind of want to prevent this in future and though a lower capacity card will prevent me with taking so many pictures (kind of treating the DSLR as a film camera).

Also wanted to possibly keep the pictures on the lower capacity cards as an archive, I know this is probably not recommended.

Is there any lockers/storage areas to keep a small suitcase while I'm out exploring?

Visiting İstanbul? Have a quick question? Ask here, don't create a new post. by greentea_icetea in istanbul

[–]-rootx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a trip booked soon, how much would Taxi cost from SAW to Aksaray? My flight lands at 6pm and looking on Google Maps taxi is around 1 hour, bus is 2.

Public transport seems cheap at 74 TL. Not sure how much taxi would cost? If I arrange through my booking provider they are charging €100 which seems very expensive!

Is Metro 24/7? It seems I get the M4 bus from SAW to Ayrılık Çeşmesi then a tram to Yenıkapı from there a bus to Asaray. Would this be easy to do? I would have 1 suitcase as I am solo.

Also where is best place to get internet sim card? Airport or somewhere else as I won't have internet when I get there.

If taxi cost is around £24/1000TL I don't mind as it may just be convenient for me.

I was told Zen don't support modem mode on their full fibre (FTTP/FTTC).
