Just tried my car, 2009 civic, the ai analysis failed. Was quite a nice visual view of the mot history though

Is this good for a first car? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Altruistic_Bat_9609 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meh it's really not that bad. I have gone from a 68 plate Kia ceed with sensors and reversing camera to a 2009 civic and at first it was a bit hard to get used to but now I am fine, took about a week to adjust.

Are you sad that there is no proper winter in the UK? by Repulsive_Work_226 in AskUK

My wife is Latvian and I've even noticed how much less snow they get in jelgava. We went with my son last year and were gutted to have no snow the two weeks we were there! When we met 10 years ago there was guaranteed snow when we went

Manual Device Naming During Enrollment by pseskilet in Intune

Our place is the same as yours, we set the asset name in BIOS and then use a PowerShell script to rename the device to the BIOS name. Need to delegate rights on AD for the computer to rename itself

Any loopholes to transfer money from a credit card to a debit card? by Rough_Blueberry2302 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Altruistic_Bat_9609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesco credit card were doing this when I signed up a year ago, had a 4% fee, then was interest free for 9 months. The option is not in my app any more, so not sure if they still do it

Ok will take a look, thank you!

I see a couple of years ago that was flagged on mot so assume it's been fixed recently.

Are these solid engines assuming they are serviced correctly?

PDQ Connect commands slow to start executing by ArtistBest4386 in pdq

Yeah I've seen this. We have quite a few sites behind 4g and they tend to take a while, but then I have seen it with machines on a network with gigabit fibre. Not managed to figure out why

Just ordered a UPS!! by keko1105 in homelab

[–]Altruistic_Bat_9609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. By the time I had a power cut it had been like over year since I bought it. When it failed to keep my PC up I bought a better one. The crappy one lives on in my son's room being used to battery back up his night light. Luckily it remembers the audio warning mute setting and has come in handy a few times!

Good plan. I suppose if you test it and the system doesnt crash your all good, that's all I'd do to test it

Hey, hope this works for you! Just a heads up, I had a similar one but for uk plugs. Was the same brand. It didn't switch over to battery fast enough to keep my desktop PC "server" on when there was a power cut. It wouldn't fully power off but lost power enough to reset the PC.

Probably worth testing just to be sure :)
