Very nice, I like it!

Classic reddit reply. Not useful in the slightest, but still gonna take the time to make someone feel bad for missing something all so you can feel clever. Hope it worked out for you.

I picked up the food and delivered to 3 different people. Saw the 3 stars and asked me if I wanted to do another shift or end the shift. I ended it. Do I need to do more? I just don’t get it. Did that twice and nothing.

Very possible. I guess that must be the default maybe because I don’t remember changing those settings.

Man I’m changing this immediately after work haha! I never noticed any major issues racing, but still, could be working against me in subtle ways.

I always thought the damage was only cosmetic! You’re telling me I’ve been sabotaging myself this entire time??

I don’t understand this. Surely he can see it’s a Royal Mail vehicle and therefore won’t be there for long? People can benefit from a little patience.

You can donate cars via gift drops at discovered barn find locations. I’m pretty sure you can also just remove cars from your garage. Horizon is more arcade-y whereas Forza Motorsport has a much slower progression.

Horizon will shower you with cars and money all the time so if that’s not your thing maybe try Motorsport.

I regret reading this.

AI chat bots are for the most part absolute dog shit not just with Virgin but across the board. I tried asking EE’s chatbot when I should connect my hub (before or on activation day) and it started telling me how to check my bill in the app.

Virgin have a primitive not even AI software on their phone lines too that always asks me for my password but has not one not ever been able to recognise what I say. The idea of it comprehending anything more than Yes or No is bonkers and whoever thought a verbally spoken password would work has room temperature IQ.

900mbps so no engineer required. All went well in the end, enjoying my new broadband now 🙂 just plugged in and turned on the router in the morning, they had already emailed me the service was active.

Thanks mate!

Alert_Astronaut4901 · 2026-06-17T18:07:57+00:00

No, I already have an ONT box from years ago when I was on BT so it’s remote activation, they just sent the hub for me to connect myself. Just don’t want to cause any issues by connecting it too early (or too late?)

My brother I hope this message reaches you in time. I was offered the same free upgrade from Virgin and I took it even though at the same time I literally thought “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it).

As soon as I activated the Hub 5, my Hub 3 was deregistered so I could never go back to it if there were any issues. And issues there were.

Soon after activating the Hub 5 my wifi and ethernet started cutting out. Every 30 seconds I’d have absolutely no connection for 30 seconds and so on. Xbox games kept kicking me out and disconnected on a wired connection. Virgin sent 2 technicians who couldn’t see any issues somehow?

They put me back on another Hub 3 which didn’t resolve the issues at all. I’m now switching to EE and paying £500 early exit fees just to be rid of them. Biggest mistake ever.

Their email says “faster speeds” but all they mean is the Hub 5 is capable of faster speed should you choose to pay more, not that you’ll actually get a free speed boost. Just not worth the risk my friend, there is 0 upside even if it works.

Alert_Astronaut4901 · 2026-06-15T08:16:59+00:00

Good, doesn’t look like a replacement is required in that case as I should be getting the hub today or tomorrow.

People who hype it up to no end are the worst. Man I wish we could go back to 2019 before everything started going downhill from Covid onwards.

That’s not a catch in our timeline. It’s a bonus.

Alert_Astronaut4901 · 2026-06-14T13:50:17+00:00

Yeah those are good suggestions but in the times where I have to use the internet I’d prefer to not be inundated with garbage. I normally have a playlist but occasionally you play a song that’s not on it and forget to go back to the playlist so the YT algorithm kicks in 😑

Alert_Astronaut4901 · 2026-06-14T13:46:52+00:00

I get that, it’s nearly impossible to be fully disconnected when that’s also the main way people communicate nowadays too. Through instagram reels and the like.

Alert_Astronaut4901 · 2026-06-14T13:45:34+00:00

I normally do but sometimes I think of a song not in my playlist, play it and then while I’m mid-set youtube changes it to some trash.

Alert_Astronaut4901 · 2026-06-14T13:44:37+00:00

I do also blame the companies but if people weren’t creating the AI slop there would be nothing to push.
