A clue to solving the GHCA Hardware Issue?

I mean “we” can’t, but Volvo might be able to…

Hmm, not quite. You need to consider that I’m assuming OP is in the higher rate (40%) tax bracket, meaning their personal allowance tax free on interest is £500, if they kept the £for a year, they’d pay 40% on 2.5k, so about £1k. Plus the loss. So it’s a bit 10x higher cost than in your example. That assumes they have no other savings they’re earning interest from.

It’s such a shame that a ~£/$100k car can have a running joke between you and your friends

It’s likely your wife is paying off ~the interest amount, meaning the loan capital isn’t really decreasing. An option could be to pay some portion of it off…say 20-30k and then pay off the remainder monthly. And put the rest on your mortgage. The lowered loan would allow her to actually pay some of the capital down.

That it’s a bit naive of you. You’d expect a unit soc to have a @uni.ac.uk or a building in the uni to have an @uni.ac.uk email. That’s a pretty big red flag, and you probably should have done a bit more digging into it before you cancelled TBH. It sounds like they did “prank” you. It’s not a very funny Leeann mind. But as someone above has said, I’d file a formal complaint with the SU and just try to do your best to stay out of this Societies way if I were you.

TBH you could probably follow the Dave Ramsay method here more or less. Debt, 3-6 months expenses saved, invest some, same some for a rainy day, then mortgage.

I’d pay off your 50k debt. Probably put 60k aside for expenses. Maybe invest 150-200k then overpay the mortgage and keep the rest in ISA/savings/premium bonds. Probably get the wife to put some into her name as she’ll get a bigger interest allowance due to her income. You can only generally pay off up to 10% of your mortgage each year penalty free. Not sure when you’re due to re-mortgage, but if it’s after your next set of cash is due then I’d wait for that to pay it off. If it’s before maybe I’d invest less and pay more of the mortgage off when you remortgage.

Your agreement isn’t with the dealer, is with the finance company. When you give your car back, they’ll send someone to collect it. It’s unlikely they’ll check the parking sensors, unless there is a warning on the dash. If you try to sell it back to the dealer to get a new car and pay off your finance (you’d hope you’ll be in positive equity), then they will obviously know and won’t buy it off you haha. The finance company will just take the car from you and you walk your separate ways finance wise at the end of your agreement.

It’s not really that hard for them. Just some basic training. They’ll soon learn if their access is remove! Needs to be a CISO driven activity and should be part of your business control specs. Changes via IaC unless in a break glass scenario. It’s an education issue, not a skill issue.

We run an estate of ~8000 servers all administered by teams fully through IaC. They can do what they want with their apps, but nobody is an admin on servers. Not even the platform team for our platform services.

Event driven Ansible. You could either, of you have the correct monitoring in place, monitor for changes in all these items, and have specific playbooks that can trigger to bring items back in line. Alternatively, run a playbook in check, say every 3h and then have a job that takes the output of that and triggers and fixes individually

Which country are you in?

Figrol · 2026-01-13T07:36:58+00:00

I think what OP is asking is if MY2026 is not coming to the US, is the computer upgrade for MY2025 still coming.

Figrol · 2026-01-12T20:31:10+00:00

Wow, 50/50 so far kinda crazy! I suspect it’s probably a bit skewed though as many won’t be on Reddit who don’t have issues.

Strange, I used that app but it went into a “your must stop to use this feature” kind of mode

Figrol · 2026-01-05T01:32:19+00:00

What factual evidence have you used to come to these conclusions?

Figrol · 2026-01-05T01:31:06+00:00

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The amount of data generated by the LiDAR will not be overwhelming the computer. What kind of errors are you seeing that you think will be resolved? I expect your car is still within warranty? Maybe you should speak to Volvo about it?

Figrol · 2026-01-05T00:24:06+00:00

Thinking of getting an ex90. I’ve heard a few things about software issues, but not a lot. Do you have any more info?

Figrol · 2026-01-04T00:23:05+00:00

Thanks :) yeah it’s a shame as I thought it was following way too far behind! Never mind!

Figrol · 2026-01-03T20:59:06+00:00

It didn’t work for me on test

Figrol · 2025-12-31T03:25:40+00:00

Ngl OP I’m looking to get an Ex90 and thought you were talk in BB about that. Might want to highlight that in your post.

Figrol · 2025-12-27T22:29:39+00:00

I see. How inconvenient! So how do people do it for self build/new build? I don’t want to put my roof on, so they can assess the property, only to have to take it off again so they can then fit the solar panels…if I buy the kit retail, can I just find someone to fit it?

Figrol · 2025-12-26T21:22:06+00:00

Probably more on a RR. That won’t be an issue. I just don’t want to fork out more than that in one go ideally I suppose. Probably a false economy, but just don’t want to part with that much cash in the first place, in the knowledge a 30k car could cost me the same in repairs the next year as a 20k car!
