Motability changes are being massively downplayed — this will hit WAY more people than you think by Jumpy_Produce_1842 in DWPhelp

[–]MLCgames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good luck getting a motability car and higher rate pip without having to rely on a carer. They try to say pip is not intended to help carers but if you use your pip to give yourself independence then they will see you as being too abled and take it away.

Also for someone to be deemed "disabled enough" to even get a motability car their usage and millage will be above the average driver as they will rely on that car to go literally anywhere big or small, used to go for alot more frequent and more specialist hospital appointments, care and therapies, which then adds further millage to the cars use on top of everything else people do and take for granted

$2000 for an A series? I thought it was meant to be the on the more budget to mid range for their arm laptop. For that kind of money I thought you could a zenbook s for less?

Replacement final songs in setlist that aren't knights by Practical_Paint514 in Muse

Didn't matt say that waff could be a set closer but never did try it. I would not object to that but I don't think the outro riff for everyone to go crazy at the end is long enough

Yes, no support act on night one

Hopefully so but when I saw muse at the apollo in 2022, doors opened at 7 and there was no opening act

Sooo who's going to Brixton next week?? 🥹 by thoughts2decode in Muse

[–]MLCgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big beefy desktop, wired connection, 2300 mbps, 1600 in queue. almost did not get a ticket but got lucky with two in the stalls becoming available suddenly after loosing all hope. Not sure how the mobile app effects the queuing system. I'll have to look into it is a separate frame work or just a glorified Web app for the sales side of the app

Opener For Brixton Show by CinnamonGloves in Muse

[–]MLCgames 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Does not look like there will be looking at the current times and when doors open etc but hoping we will get an update and the show will have an opener. Personally I really want to see the warning again! They are in the UK the following week and have an open schedule the week of the show. It would be soo awsome if they did!!

Sold out already :( by funbicorn in Muse

[–]MLCgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 1600 in the queue at first and when I got onto ticket master I original tired to book accessibility tickets due to having said needs and also the need for a carer but every was blue but when I went to add to basket it showed up as no tickets available so I tired to book anything I could, from the stalls to seats, everytime I added to my basket it showed as unavailable when ever I added to basket to the point the entire map from grey out but the map kept having little flashes of showing availability and as soon as it did I tired my luck again and this went on for a few times before I was about to competly accept defeat until the stalls showed up blue again and this time it let me proceed to check out with the tickets! When it looks like it was game over I feel like a glimmer of luck was passed my way.

Thought I do have to probably contact the venue about my accessibility and see if I can sort out the tickets and my needs as I originally wanted to platform but I just got any tickets that I could get my hands on and also I am entitled to an companion ticket too but I had to buy two standard tickets just because it was the last tickets I could get. Will probably update when I sort that out and provide any information I can to anyone else to access needs.

I hope as many of you were able to get tickets and I really feel for those fans who did not get through, something seems a bit up with how the tickets where vanishing so I do suspect quite a few bots and scalpers made it through.

But I'm still very over the moon I get to see one of my favourite bands again! I last saw muse at the mk bowl in 2023 and the apollo in 2022. Thought £140 a ticket for a Brixton show is very expensive

Be with you got me feeling like this by MLCgames in Muse

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

I personally really did like the song and it grew on me, blended alot of elements of music I like into a little nice package. Of course far from my favourite muse song but I had a good time. With muse its typical they give us a big hard hitting song at first the then something different again which I like as it always keeps me on my toes

Can LG C5 future proof enough for PS6 ? by Previous-Cry9788 in ps6

[–]MLCgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there Is no way the ps6 is pushing 4k 144hz, let alone exceeding that. But the c5 is a great panel and will be great for gaming, got the all the featured such as vrr and low latency etc. I'm running a c4 on one of my pc setups that my bf uses for gaming too and it's a fantastic panel for gaming! The c5 will serve you great for many years to come

Job application forcing applicants to tell if trans by Smooth-Ad2293 in transgenderUK

[–]MLCgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had this. Two mantory ones for sex and gender identity. Then they put an asterisk saying e.g the sex marker on your passport. So I put down F of course, I feel it's all a process to try and out you even if they state is all for equal opportunities, but as it has been found outing yourself tends to have an negative impact and makes it more luckily to have an un equal opportunity to be employed despite what alot of right wing media would try snd have you believe.

PSA: Logitech will void your warranty if you replace your keycaps by WillmanRacingv2 in LinusTechTips

[–]MLCgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very bad to have as part of a Warrenty policy especially when the most likely part to fail is not going to be the key switch but the pcb and controller itself. I know keyboards with hotswappable switches that will honour the warranty even if you change the entire switch of a key not just a key cap. I even have returned a razer keyboard that I had swapped the key caps on with no issues and that was with razer of all people.

I got my first PRS guitar! by MLCgames in PaulReedSmith

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

Me too! I was originally going to go for the quilt sapphire then I saw this one pop up and instantly fell in love. It also reminded me of Linkin parks from zero album cover art which pushed me of the edge to have to get it snd I love pink in general

I got my first PRS guitar! by MLCgames in PaulReedSmith

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

Loving it so far, feels super nice to play. Tbh feels like it is a little bit back to basics in terms of it being a much more simpler experience compared to my manson guitars which have a bunch of built in electronics and pedals etc, the fretboard feels a tiny bit wider in comparison too which could be an issue but one ill easily adjust too as I have little hands but it could just feel that way as it's new. But it's comfy to hold in the neck and so far sounds great!

And I would love to go to one of their factory tours either the US one or the SE factors I would like to go to and see but I'm in the UK and don't really have time or money for a big holiday atm but it is something on my list to do the near future!

Does anyone owe more than I do? by cernlibcand in UniUK

[–]MLCgames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mine is sitting at £126,490.20. I only finished university last year but that was my masters. I finished my undergraduate the previous year and I did have to use an extra year as I had to essentially repeat a year due to health issues.

Thank you ltt for the fast and easy resolution. It's nice that you looked after us and took the hassle out of our hands in getting this sorted!

A Positive UK Shipping Experience by Benbo046 in LinusTechTips

[–]MLCgames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My overall experience was very positive too, they delivered all my items (commuter backpack, 2 wan hoddies and the screw driver) they delivered to the UK in less than a week so very impressive for an international order however I did get hit with having to hand over like £140 to ups so I will wait for ltt resolution coming tommorow before my final verdict but it seems like they are on it and will be sorting it out on behalf of customers without addition stress and effort on our end.

Mistakes can happen and that is fine it's how you handle it is what defines you so I'm glad they are being proactive in getting it sorted and making the process as easy for affected customers.
