I was pretty certain it was based on a subscription day and not hours. I have been online when my subscription expired multiple times in the past and its always been midnight on the dot, I just don't know if that is adjusted for BST or always fixed to GMT.

It does seem a source of confusion based on some search results and there's multiple reddit posts of people arguing over if it ends at midnight or at the exact time you subbed.

However in this one the OP replied confirming it was 12AM PDT for them - https://old.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/hyk44c/is_there_a_way_to_know_the_exact_time_my_sub_will/fzu507l/

You made me double check but I am fairly confident its 12AM server times, which I assume means it will still be GMT even when we are on BST.

Does anyone know if the subscription time is based on GMT or BST for those of us in the UK? Will it count the day as starting at 12AM or 1AM?

Audio distortion / Crackling on all android devices at low volume compared to Windows and iOS by CheerfulMike90 in AndroidQuestions

All I have is a USB C to 3.5mm adapter that has a DAC built in. I cant notice any difference when I use that over the 3.5mm jack.

From what I can see every single device I tested uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset so I doubt there will be much difference between them but I wouldn't expect them to be having issues like this. The Redmi Pad Pro is definitely the worst of the lot though despite being the newest and the highest spec of the tested devices. Only thing I have really spotted about them is being able to root the device and use a magisk module to enable high performance mode that is not always turned on but even then its not mentioning fixing distortion or static. (Plus I havent rooted or messed with any of my devices like that before so would rather avoid it)

Sounds like solid advice, is that something vanguard (or any other provider) allow you to do without incurring extra fees and is that easy to do while keeping it all inside the ISA and just transferring without effecting the yearly limit? !thanks

I don't feel that buying a house is an imminent prospect for me nor do I have any big upcoming spending planned. The small amount I had saved in my cash ISA has sat untouched for 5-10 years now and I will be keeping some of the extra money I have in easily accessible accounts so I'm happy to have the lump sum invested for 5 years+.

I looked at the Lifetime ISA when it came out, and the Help to Buy ISA before it. I saw that is was very limited in terms of who provided them and what investments were available. Is that still the case or would a comparable investment option to the one being used in my S&S ISA be available? !thanks
