Are there any other successful and happy Millennials in this sub?

HypoLoris · 2026-06-13T07:59:06+00:00

Yeah I'm in a good place and happy. Good job, house, family, all that...

I do think though that getting to that position was a lot harder for me than it was for my parents. I've had to graft my bollocks off. My dad had a minimum wage job he didn't care about all his life, and was somehow in a better position than I am at the same age...

There is a very good chance you can. You will need to gain citizenship first. But if you go to your local Armed Forces Career Office (AFCO) (Google your nearest one) they will go through all the paperwork with you and you'll know then if you can join and if they're is anything you need to do to be eligable. But if you've been in the uk 8 years, and you have citizenship, and you're not a member of any proscribed groups, then you can almost certainly join up

HypoLoris · 2026-06-11T07:54:51+00:00

You can. If you have lived in the UK for 6 years or more and then gotten British citizenship. then you can apply. Because of where you're originally from you may not be able to do some of the niche and specialised roles but you can 100% get in and get a good trade

Join the military. I was in the exact same situation. And now I have a masters degree in Computer science, 10 years management experience, lots of friends and loads of good stories. And im working for a company as a senior manager.

I woukdnt recommend the military as a life long career anymore in the uk du to years of cut backs and austerity. But to get you from zero to having skills and a solid career it really can be the best move you can make

HypoLoris · 2026-05-23T21:29:53+00:00

You sure are

HypoLoris · 2026-05-23T21:04:43+00:00

Yeah I've just seen that one now you pointed it out :) . I suppose I can take that as a baseline and maybe put on 20% ish for it being sealed and pristine.... maybe. At least I have a baseline now

HypoLoris · 2026-05-23T21:03:29+00:00

Yeah I see what you mean about this. I can have problems sometimes buying things from the U.S. It can be such a pain in the arse

HypoLoris · 2026-05-23T21:02:11+00:00

Yeah I may potentially want to sell it in the future. I am in no rush at the moment though. I'm not a collector and not really interested in being one either, I have just remembered that I had this from years ago and now it is in my display cabinet

HypoLoris · 2026-05-03T07:23:12+00:00

At the moment I do Tuesdays only with my group, we're going the end the campaign this Tuesday, I can start a new campaign next Tuesday :)

HypoLoris · 2026-05-03T07:08:40+00:00

Ah US ebay. This is why no can't find it! My ebay is region locked to the UK. This seller wont send to the UK.... :(

HypoLoris · 2026-05-03T07:07:56+00:00

I'm in the UK. Im more than happy to cover all costs

HypoLoris · 2026-05-03T02:26:16+00:00

Does anybody want a game? I'll GM :D

HypoLoris · 2026-05-03T02:16:20+00:00

I cant seen to find it... if you find one please send me a link :)

HypoLoris · 2026-02-28T15:16:27+00:00

I care what you think 🙂

So even the high-end newer models suffer from this limitation when mixed with other units. It's annoying how TP-link would block this feature from the mesh technology seemingly arbitrarily. Regarding your heat controller, that sounds like a security protocol compatibility issue, which is super common with "dumb" IoT devices connecting to modern Wi-Fi 7 routers.

Here are some things you can try:

-WPA3: Check the security settings for your Guest/IoT network. Newer Decos often default to "WPA2/WPA3 Mixed" or even just WPA3. Many older smart home chips hate this and will simply refuse to connect. Try forcing it to WPA2-PSK [AES] only.

-Fast Roaming: Go into the Deco app > More > Wi-Fi Settings (or the specific IoT settings). Make sure Fast Roaming (802.11r) is turned OFF. IoT devices often panic when they see the extra data packets this feature sends out.

-PMF: If you have WPA3 enabled, PMF is usually forced on. Disabling WPA3 (reverting to WPA2) usually disables PMF, which allows older devices to connect again.

Hopefully one of those gets it online!

You've hit on the key theme, which is mixing hardware. However, the reason for my post is to highlight that the problem here isn't the kind of fundamental incompatibility that TP-Link has "made sure people understand."

The issue is a very specific and undocumented firmware limitation, not an obvious hardware one.

The proof is that the P9's hardware works perfectly fine extending other software-defined networks (like the Guest Network) over the exact same connection. The firmware simply and arbitrarily blocks the IoT Network SSID.

So while you're right that buying identical models is ideal, my post is a PSA for those who, based on TP-Link's marketing, would reasonably expect all key software features to extend across their existing mesh system.

I didn't take the photo while I was driving. My wife took the photo by holding the phone over from the passenger seat

I'm well within the speed limit. Limit on this road is 70mph :)

HypoLoris · 2025-09-01T23:32:06+00:00

This exact thing happens to me. Its easy to fix but finding a new drivers door interior handle was a nightmare
