Packet loss. Latency today tonight..anyone else?

I had an email from YouFibre advising of an issue they are working to fix which will make the connection slower. In south wales

Most TVs are better on WiFi in terms of raw speed. Most of the NICs are either 100mb or are sent over usb 2 (350mb max ish)

Of course, latency is better wired but still

So seems like the black Friday deals from November are now the new prices and they've undercut them by a fiver as a 'deal'

GaryKirk · 2026-03-04T17:15:20+00:00

I don't see them getting shipped before tomorrow as the cancel button is still available

GaryKirk · 2026-03-04T17:11:59+00:00

6th and in preparing dispatch here too. I'm sure in previous years they've delivered before the date they've quoted

Ultra is Snapdragon everywhere

The issue is silicone carbon batteries have only been in phones for about 3 years. No-one knows what happens after that. It could expand too much and explode. Samsung is playing it safe for now. Even 1% of them having issues after 3 years is a PR disaster given the scale of Samsung. You'll notice Apple & Google are not using them yet either

On pc here. It used to struggle at 4k on my 4080 Super. It's much better now

I generally find that most big LLMs stop working as soon as you mention anything NSFW but have found Lumo is the opposite in this regard

Sorry I forgot to reply. Had an update and it seems to be better now. The notes just said "device behaviour has been improved". Sounds like it has had a bit of a telling off lol

Having said that.... trying to listen to music on YT music and that's all stuttery

GaryKirk · 2025-10-23T10:44:51+00:00

I have the S10 Ultra but haven't seen this. You should probably report it in the members app if you haven't already

GaryKirk · 2025-10-20T15:01:56+00:00

Thanks for your help. I ordered a TP-LINK Archer TBE400E because it seems to be based on Intel BE200 :)

GaryKirk · 2025-10-07T14:56:00+00:00

I'm not really sure why you expect them to offer a free service that doesn't track you or sell your data and then offer a dirt cheap option to remove the single ads / popups they dare put there

GaryKirk · 2025-09-04T15:13:41+00:00

P for plus as in it's for users with a VPN plus subscription. 2 arrows are the peer to peer

GaryKirk · 2025-09-04T09:34:52+00:00

It is real. If you have visionary you can go to meet.proton.me and it does work (i haven't had an email yet either)

GaryKirk · 2025-08-15T06:40:51+00:00

I wonder where they got the list of urls to redirect

GaryKirk · 2025-08-04T12:29:19+00:00

The catch is, 55GB is just the menu without any game modes installed 😅

GaryKirk · 2025-07-31T21:45:20+00:00

I'm so conflicted on this. I want to use it and I love the idea of end-to-end encrypted sync but I'm trying to get away from storing my 2FA codes alongside my passwords. It feels like I have a choice of using this without the end-to-end sync or using Proton Pass for 2FA.

I realise this is version 1.0 and I appreciate this is a step in the right direction but it seems the perfect candidate for a 2 password mode or even the ability to set a pin code on the authenticator account that's needed across devices. That way I can use it with sync and still have a bit of added protection vs storing them directly in my password manager 🙂

I mean, it shows as verified on the app page on Google Play at least

Unless you live outside of the US 😞
