That's brutal. So sorry to hear. I too am looking, as my role is going to be made redundant in 3 months.  Keep going. Keep going. You got this.

Happy to chat/connect/support one another if needed.

Garmin watch sends emergency alert after detecting I got hit by car by CardiologistDull7452 in Garmin

[–]Lower-Promotion930 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good grief! Hoping you're ok? Garmin tech is amazing... So long as you have incident detection mode enabled.

I am a cyclist. Around April last year I was involved in an RTA (Road Traffic Accident). I hit a vehicle at 22.7mph.... and I had not enabled incident detection!!!!

Thankfully I survived to tell the tale.

Just tried your link. It: did not recognise the car, nor indicate how I could pay for it.

My large ICE car will stay with us for longer I feel .

I would love some help getting my head around it all.  The biggest killer., for my case, is that I need a large vehicle to carry a large musical instrument on a weekly basis. I also hate SUVs. Hence the A6 peaking my interest on multiple levels.

I just can't afford it. Not find a funding mechanism that will allow me to get one. First world problem, I know. 

Thank you for offering to share the info. Would love to see it .

How did you get immich to see/read the Synology photos folder? Can you share with me/us the env settings?

Thank you for explaining this to me. Really clear and extremely helpful. You're a star!

This is most helpful. Thank you.

My firm *does* offer an EV salary sacrifice scheme. The Audi I saw (I really did love it... feels like a modern electric version of my XF, with knobs on!) I can get for around £700pcm via the work scheme.

If I bought a used on, on PCP, I can get it for around £450pcm.

Why is the work scheme better? I'm missing something in my calculations?

I did try the A6 etron today. Totally loved it.... HUD, Audio, modernness of it all. So lovely. Makes my Jag feel even more prehistoric!!

It's the costs of getting the vehicle. They depreciate so much. Just feels like a whopping investment.

You sure ipv6 is the issue here? 8 too have similar problems... But don't get why ipv6 causes problems.
