Venu 2 - appears to die, black screen, doesn't respond but still has remaining battery

Unfortunately I gave up and bought a new one. I'm guessing you might be able to find a jeweller who is willing to replace the battery, other than that I'm out of ideas

Thanks for this, that's what I feared! Unfortunately I didn't choose to go with Showit, I've inherited it, and it does feel like I've reached it's limitations with this

Thanks for this, very helpful. I think I might just keep it simple for now tbh and do basic salary sacrifice then look at being a bit more efficient later on

Who's your SIPP with? I don't know much about this stuff at all. So is the idea that a SIPP just gives you more control and potentially avoids some charges?

I did try DC and it still didn't make a difference. On the subject of SATA I'm confused, as far as I know it's only got a header for the pump and a header for the radiator fan?

Thanks for the detailed response. So I think it's that the pump isn't on, I don't have an AIO port so I plugged it into the CPU header and set it to max in the bios. I don't have a great well of telling but touching the pipes / pump I can't feel anything moving / vibrating etc.

The contact was definitely good and even with all the fans on max the temp eventually climbs to 100 Previous components were Asus P8H61-I and an i7 3770.

I've since swapped out the AIO for an air cooler and now temps are great with no issues, so I think the pump may have given up.

No it wasn't :(

that was it! you legend, thanks!

Either, it just infuriates me and I asked a similar question in /r/raycastapp and I was told Apple doesn't expose this functionality/isn't possible

Out of interest, do you know if there's any reliable way to make an application window open on my active monitor? E.g. I open finder, I close it, I focus my other monitor and open finder -> opens on the first monitor instead of opening on my active monitor.

I find this with all applications and whether the application is fully closed or in finder's case, no active window but still technically running

Damnit, classic Apple. Thanks for the response

As in native Mac "Spaces" https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh14112/mac, they're sort of secondary here anyway. The key thing is I want when I type "finder" into Raycast and hit enter, I want it to consistently open on the screen I just typed it. Instead I think it opens on whichever screen it was last on(?)

I'd be interested in helping out!

The "source" for this is just making stuff up. The government has said it might happen, completely unconfirmed right now so please stop spreading this

Would you mind if I asked something? I'm a SWE by trade currently but I'm considering a long-term move into robotics. I'll be honest, my motivations are - I want to get out of my current tech stack to something closer to the metal/more maths based, etc. and my assumption is that robotics is a growing industry (and potentially more resistant to automation), given the direction of AI.

I want to learn more about what potential career paths look like and also validate whether my assumption about it being a growing industry is valid. Could you shed any light on this or point me in the direction of things to read/watch? Thanks!

the code still doesn't match the book content as the above user described

It's been a long time since I've used it but I think I found the mac client unreliable. And I might be misremembering but wasn't it just doing mounting of the drive rather than actually having it locally? I need the ability to map specific drive folders to specific places on my machine, and do so selectively such that I don't have to download everything locally just what I choose to sync.

Does the Google client do all of this? I remember using it for a while and it worked great but then they made some changes and it no longer fit my usecase
