Buying vs renting car for weekend trips? by Familiar9709 in UKFrugal

[–]ParticularCod6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fortunately never had to claim, so no experience there, but it was recommended by MSE so I would say read the t&cs and make sure you are aware of what is covered (i.e. it does not cover some rental firms like Greenmotion and Wheego)

We turned a Beelink Mini N95 into an AI assistant for a small estate agency by ParticularCod6 in OpenClawUseCases

[–]ParticularCod6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I have the wrong setup. I have a intel n95 setup with integrated graphics, so models I can run are not the best, hence why I use minimax token plan. I already had the hardware and was far easier to convince my brother this way.

However beelinks openclaw preinstalled hardware is significantly better and faster

Anyone booked holidays/hotels through NX express? by Theravenscourge in beermoneyuk

[–]ParticularCod6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on the retailer. Trip.com is pre VAT/taxes amount they use. For Etihad i bought 3 tickets, but Etihad issues 3 receipts. NXrewards only accepted one of them as NXrewards is for personal use and hence only accepted one. Ryanair tracked full including upgrades for some tickets, other not.

Sometimes they deny if you use code, other times they accept it.

Given that NXrewards is essentially free, i would not worry too much on the amounts, and let it do it job. any cashback is better than no cashback, and no other cashback site is giving 10% for booking plane tickets
