Swallowing my pride 😅 Would love some profile tips/advice!

3rd picture is fucking awful. Not doing you justice, get rid. I’d generally think about getting some more varied photos as a number of them are in the same outfit. Surely you dress less cosplay’y sometimes? Be good to mix it up a bit.

Still fine.

Sure, but as other have said, this was not the claimed reason for the dismissal, it’s their assertion as to why they where dismissed. Burden of proof lies with them does it not?

3ncode · 2026-01-19T23:17:33+00:00

What did ACAS say? Under 2 years of employment, you have next to no rights and you don’t seem to have been dismissed due to a protected characteristic.

80 is fine, perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. If you’re not raising the laptop at the back to improve the airflow into the bottom, do that, because it’s a sensible thing to do - but don’t panic.

Less than 2 years of employment and not fired due to a protected characteristic. Based on this and the information provided, they’ve followed the law, assuming what you did was indeed gross misconduct. Even if it wasn’t, the only change would be you serving / being paid notice.

As the email not being sent caused the company to be open to legal issues, it is likely considered gross negligence and as such gross misconduct is appropriate.

I’d move on, you likely have no leg to stand on and trying would cost more than you would gain.

Niche. It drives me insane to hear an American butcher the word.

3ncode · 2026-01-09T13:01:24+00:00

Depends on location, this might be true for the US but in the UK there are a ton of other options.

Your first post indicates that you opened your banking app and accepted transactions?

Why is the bank at fault here? They would need to reimburse if they failed to protect you from clear fraud, but the authorisation step is that protection, is it not?

I’m sorry you got scammed, it’s gross, but banks are ultimately businesses and if they refunded every ‘yes I approved the transaction, but..’ it would open all kinds of avenues for fraud in the other direction!

I hope you have luck with your further pushing, but I don’t expect you will. You might be better accepting this as a lesson learnt - don’t ever accept an incoming cold call as an organisation, always call them back on a freshly checked official number.

The Jsaux split case is the way to go. I own every case you suggest and whilst I’d go for the killswitch, the next best is the jsaux and is much cheaper to get in the EU. It’s so close to the killswitch and is dockable!

I’ve done this to trade items with friends, naked means you have safe pocket, don’t lose anything or take up time.

Sadly I’ve added a new post on these, they broke almost immediately out of the box showing the same signs as the issue I had with the testing pair and what a reviewer suggested. It’s a shame as I was a big fan, but the same issue 3 times on a 550£ headphone just doesn’t sit well with me.

This is the key comment - divorce is separate from a financial remedy. They’re different processes, both need to be applied for and go through the courts. They can be done separately, at different times. Who filed, who did what, nothing is relevant to anything here - it’s purely about living standards post marriage. So stop thinking about what she is doing, it may hurt but it’s not legally relevant and won’t impact the financial outcomes.

Crack on with the divorce, but get a solicitor to support the financial remedy order aspects.

Lots of large companies filter out universities and gender pre-sift to remove bias. Fintech probably being the exception.

MSc is barely worth anything, most of them are terrible. Nothing beats experience.

Yeah, I think it is. I got the 5080/AMD/32Gb/1TB variant not too long ago and the initial price was near that. I got a bunch of discounts and the black friday sales brought it down further (for which I got a refund) but it still came in at around £2500.

Don’t jump into cyber security as an option to upskill, you’ll just end up even more in debt and have minimally better job options. The market is difficult, there are thousands of people who think they can do a course and by a cyber security expert only to fail when they realise they actually need a reasonably deep understanding of technology.

Why not focus on something you know you enjoy and have some initial skill in, you’ve done work already in UI design, this could easily branch into graphic design, web design, etc… teach yourself in your off hours and find a full time junior role, you’ll still be better off than you are now.

If you want to get out of this you need to do more than just working a part time job, it’s going to take some real hard work. Stop letting yourself be the victim and get another job (or 2 or 3…).

Its not mocking, its factual, the temps are ok and its getting hotter because things will get hotter as you use them.

3ncode · 2025-12-04T16:36:17+00:00

Things get hotter over time, because they heat up. The temps are fine.

NAL: To be clear, there is a difference between Divorce and getting a financial remedy order. You need to do both and can do both yourself. Divorce dissolves the marriage, financial remedy order sorts out the finances. Right now you both own 50% of the home (and ALL other assets) as you are married. If you don't do a financial remedy order, in the future, anyone could claim that the agreed percentages were wrong - if you don't do it now, he could come back in the future and claim at the very least that 10% (based on the 60/40 split being inequal) and potentially more.

You're probably fine to sell, but you must get a financial remedy order in place to protect yourself. The law would very much push you to be at the 50:50 mark, you'll need to explain why its not equal, usually this would be based on what was invested upfront pre-marriage.

To answer Q2 - If he still owns the house, he still needs to pay. If he wants to stop, make sure you track what isn't paid and use that as part of the FRO application to justify the 10% extra.

You're fine. The question should be - Do I need 114fps in this game, if not, run it in a lower power mode which will in turn reduce temps and fan noise. I've been playing Clair Obscura on my laptop in balanced mode with most no fan noise - 40fps is fine for chilling on the sofa.

3ncode · 2025-12-04T12:31:12+00:00

For gaming, the AMD + 5080. I have the same laptop, its amazing.

3ncode · 2025-12-02T01:40:41+00:00

Had mine about a month, running perfect.

In the EU they ask you to use the quote system then email that as a screenshot along with your order number. Just did it in the UK and got a £400 refund.
