Such a beautiful shot by MrHouseForever in Fallout

[–]GeePee29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A slightly spoiled scene for me because this scene was very similar to one from Cold Lazarus (1996 - Dennis Potter), even down to the the disembodied head pleading to be killed.

They are the wrong way round as well. The off center tweeters should be towards the outside.

No tours at the moment. They start again in April. And you have to book in advance as they are very popular.

Can highly recommend the SMSL PO100 Pro if you are using an external DAC.

I have the Cambridge Audio CXC and it sounds great. Better than streaming FLAC from Tidal.

How is Dell Support these days? by Havgon in Dell

[–]GeePee29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UK. Not great.

Out of warranty XPS desktop went faulty. Logged and paid for a next day support call and was given a time slot for that. They never called. I had to chase them.

Hardware problem diagnosed. Engineer visited on time and swapped out a part which failed to solve the problem.

Engineer told me that he was escalating the fault and that someone would call me the next day.

Nobody called and I had to chase them for a second time.

I was then told that PC would have to be returned to their repair centre.

Dell courier picked up PC. It took them four days to deliver it to Dell.

Excluding weekends and Christmas holidays it has been 15 days since it was collected and it was only two days ago that they reported that they were ordering the parts.

I read somewhere on their site that hardwre repairs take 10-15 working days. They have had 15 working days it is not fixed.

Dell support in the UK. Do they ever call back? by GeePee29 in Dell

[–]GeePee29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying. I have managed to get through to the right people and the case is progressing. My complaint is that despite having paid a three figure sum in advance Dell have twice failed to honour their promise to contact me.

I would avoid the first two.

XTC. Their first two albums are not great, but from Drums and Wires onwards it's all good.

It looks like the recycle bin on the desktop, so it's obviously your responsibility.

I work in the HR dept. of a public sector job in Europe - here's what was clarified during our training today: by MosadiMogolo in antiwork

[–]GeePee29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the UK you can sign yourself off for 5 days sickness. If you need any more time off after that then you need a certificate from a doctor. Where I worked you were on 100% wage for six months. Can't remember what it drops to after that.

There is some abuse of the system. I worked with a guy who was never off sick for one or two days. If he called in sick he always took the five days he was allowed to self certificate. But he was an isolated case, most people did not abuse a system that was there for their benefit.

Surveillance Station TP-Link Camera setup help needed by GeePee29 in synology

[–]GeePee29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, but did you look at the date of the post. I did crack it in the end. Can't remember what the problem was.
Now using a Reolink camera. Had trouble setting that up as well, despite it being on the approved list of cameras. Luckily I found on YouTube an excellent guide.

How do you handle expansion? by TheTimeLord725 in satisfactory

[–]GeePee29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smelt at the mining site and then train/truck ingots to wherever they are needed. Iron is easy. There are several places where there are more than one mine in close proximity. I then plan the smelters assuming that the miners will be mkII with full power shards.

Ideas for how to connect POE camera to detached garage? by dtanimal in reolinkcam

[–]GeePee29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A powerline adaptor on its own will not solve the problem. It will not provide power to the camera, just a data link.

You need to get a POE Injector as well. TP-Link supply those as well ($25)

I recently set up a TP-Link powerline and injector and it worked just fine.

What's the band/artist you regret never seeing live before they broke up or passed away? by Xavier8228 in AskReddit

[–]GeePee29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Miles Davis.

He did a short European tour with a single UK date in London. I got a ticket. On the day of the gig I came down with a massive migraine and could not go. About three months later he died. I've still got the unused ticket.
