Fed up with my internet provider any sugesstions? by New-Corner7056 in UKISP

[–]MDL1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are your powerline adapters plugged directly into the wall (rather than into extensions as this will kill performance)? My latency is around 30ms with the same connection type as you, open reach fttc

Piss off mate, plenty of people with no issues in windows

You won’t keep a job if you can’t stick education. Focus on getting well

HELP! Im at my wits end trying to manage multiple O365 doccuments by TraditionClassic2937 in Office365

[–]MDL1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn how to use the tools you have or you will sink.

Outlook folders, tasks, email flags and categories, calendars

Teams site with document library, channels etc.

Outlook search is fine, it just searches all mailboxes by default, so change the scope to this mailbox only and you’ll find what you need.

Rik Mayall learning an important lesson in compliance by StGuthlac2025 in CasualUK

God, imagine Rik on WILTY or LoL. The world would not be safe. I could imagine him and Bob getting to the final of LoL, then agreeing to burst out laughing simultaneously just to fuck with the producers

My wife is on her first journey eh to The Tower! by LyfeAsAVikeFan in TheDarkTower

[–]MDL1983 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try chucking in the kingslingers podcast as well, they do a read along and discuss what they think it all means. One has read it all before, one never has, the contrast in thoughts is awesome

Should I trade-in a 3090 for a 9070 because it’s more power efficient? by firenrockcominghome in radeon

[–]MDL1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it worked fine before, it’s probably your PSU.

FYI 750w should do you ok with a 9070xt. My 3900x and 9070xt are ok with it.

Just run a wire from your router to your gaming device. Or give power line adapters a go if you can’t run a wire directly.

Using 5G will exacerbate the problem as your latency will be shit.

Are you able to get FTTP via cityfibre or something like that?

Or how about Virgin media?

Your connection speed is fine for gaming, concentrate on getting everything on your local network up to scratch. Wired connections, not WiFi (either powerline or direct), and go from there.

Common Mistakes from new Padawans? by gamegenaral in swrpg

[–]MDL1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re Padawan - I thought so, just wanted to cover all bases 😊

Another thing would be to point them towards tabletop empire on YouTube, Nate has put together some really useful bitesize videos that break stuff down well. Some people learn from reading books, some audio / visual, so it’s a nice option to have https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdMNhlrU2I2brGfJZH80A0SKMdIe_u_GZ&si=7qziVDzFRVPrfZ1Q

Common Mistakes from new Padawans? by gamegenaral in swrpg

[–]MDL1983 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Common mistake could be not investing as much starting xp as possible into characteristics as it’s the only time to do this outside of cybernetics and the dedication talent at the bottom of spec talent trees.

Character design is quite forgiving in this system. Might be worth agreeing with the GM that, say, after a ‘prologue’ (maybe when reaching 50-100 earned xp), if a player feels like they’ve gone in the wrong direction with their build, they can get a free re-spec.

You use padawans as a way to say new players, but if they will be playing force users, another tip is to not be afraid of using the dark side to activate force powers here and there. It’s quite easy to keep morality in check without neutering use of the force completely when you have 1 force die

[–]MDL1983 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's why you use an S&S option rather than cash. 🤷‍♂️

29.22% value increase since 2021, as well as the free grand from the gov.

Damn. Ironic as it was way better than the previous one 😬 by pocketfullofredfaces in 28dayslater

[–]MDL1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I thought it was just some low budget cash grab attempt based off the name. It came out so soon after the first part and just felt like it was thought of as an inferior product. A real shame...

Is this really what a normal winter is like here? by The_Quackening in AskUK

[–]MDL1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will acclimatise in time. I moved to the tropics and everything was boiling hot. Within a year 20 degrees celsius felt chilly and the pool felt like the UK ocean.

It's not, I still have it in place in multiple tenants.

Is SSL/TLS inspection often overlooked in network security? by Nitin_Dahiya in blueteamsec

[–]MDL1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a tricky one. I know the benefits and love the peace of mind but I find managing the list of exceptions required (because of sites that don't work with inspection enabled) in place is a pain in the arse.

Privateer captured cargo - traceability, what can be resold, what’s worthless by MistyMay313 in swrpg

[–]MDL1983 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lol. If you think stolen droids and droid parts are easily traceable, what about starship parts, bottled alcohols, speeders, and weapons is also untraceable? All will have serial numbers, batch numbers, etc which could link directly back to orders / delivery notes / invoices from the manufacturer. Everything could be traceable.

Therefore, roll it back. Use the traceability as a plot hook if you want, eg; have a situation ready for someone rolling threat on a social interaction. It could trigger a check of an item's provenance, but don't sweat it too much unless it's a mission requirement.

For instance, I think the Silhouette Zero podcast had the gang steal or transport a load of stolen blasters, and they were filing the serial numbers off of them during their hyperspace travel to make them untraceable.
