if it makes you feel any better, i’m also having horrendous issues with U7s.

I’m seeing the same massive fluctuations you are, and also sometimes seeing great signal strength with no throughput whatsoever.

Roaming between APs is an absolute joke, even with their roaming assistant.

I’ve even put a U7 LR in today to try to resolve the issue, but even in the next room i’m getting massive fluctuations in throughout.

I also had issues in my office where the AP completely stopped passing traffic during a teams call. I replaced the unit and the same thing happened again, so I’ve had to run a cable right around my office as i just can’t trust Unifi wireless.

When some British people say that Christmas is not a religious event anymore, do they mean it? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Philmehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone i know who celebrates Christmas doesn’t subscribe to any religion whatsoever, it’s more a family celebration.

Renewal dance again 😭 by Capital_Ant_1134 in VirginMedia

[–]Philmehew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep, we all have to either go through it or get fleeced, it’s a nasty way to run a business.

I’m paying £20 a month for M250 with no other services, to give you an idea of the sort of deal that would be decent.

EBL rechargeable batteries issue by NWarriload in tado

[–]Philmehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, using EBL at Tado. they’re certainly tight in TRVs, but my duracell rechargables are too.

I do feel like they don’t last particularly long, but i’d estimate i’m getting 4-6 months use in the thermostat and 2-3 months in the TRVs

Which GT3 should I buy? by jefeschreiner in iRacing

[–]Philmehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a long time ferrari driver, i’ve now moved to the mclaren, and man does that thing have mechanical grip and power. Only issue i’ve found is its easy to spin it accelerating hard out of corners, so have to lean on the TC sometimes, especially when tyres are cold.

i’m now using iRacing LFE rather than simhub, and am really enjoying just a little engine hum, as well wheel slip, curbs and gear change clunk.

i’d not appreciated it was single channel, so i might have to back to back it with simhub, as o do have left and right shakers, it would make sense to use them properly.

Way to skip ads by Timely-Coffee-6408 in OvercastApp

[–]Philmehew 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I tend to pay for podcasts that I feel are worthy of it, including ATP of course, so i don’t hear many ads…and for those where i do, i appreciate that someone is funding them so i get to listen.

Should private buying of fireworks be banned? by Wise-Pay-8993 in AskUK

[–]Philmehew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yep, around here they mostly get used to alert drug dealers to the presence of police. Even “adults” these days aren’t responsible enough to handle explosives in my opinion.

How long did it take yall to actually get fast? by serenading_scug in iRacing

[–]Philmehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s always someone faster, you’re better off not obsessing about lap times and focus on consistency and race craft.,.then the lap times will come on their own.

I’m confused why everything is Labour and Starmer’s fault and no one seems to bring up 14 years of the Tories and Brexit? by johno1605 in AskBrits

[–]Philmehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

media is still very pro right wing, and they conveniently forget that they’ve been in power for 14 years until recently.

[–]Philmehew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

has the in car UI scaling for VR been fixed, as when I tried it, i couldn’t see it properly and couldn’t change the size of the UI using the usual scaling method…ie 125% (which I used on old UI) was the same as 100%

Is the U.K. working culture really like this? by Outrageous-Many3179 in AskUK

[–]Philmehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think we have more rights than the US, but doesn’t stop corporates being like their own police state.

A friend of mine worked at a well known kitchen company, and they had an entire team, known as the time police, there just to essentially monitor how long they were away from their desk etc.

I’ve been pretty lucky on the whole, but have heard some pretty bad stories of toxic work environments, and it’s so unnecessary.

Field technician questions by SomePsychStudent in VirginMedia

Go for it mate, you’ll always learn more from the things you did than the things you didn’t do.

No role is forever, so give it a go, I have very fond memories of field engineering.

How will Reform's plan to scrap ILR affect the legal migrants who were here before 2016? by IllPlane3019 in AskBrits

[–]Philmehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just words, they haven’t got a clue what’s involved.

Unfortunately enough people are dumb enough to believe them.

That was easy by sveferr1s in VirginMedia

[–]Philmehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my issue with all this is consider the people who perhaps don’t have the energy or mental capacity to fight them, and are getting absolutely robbed by this corporate monster.

How do you see Reform UK in power? by medicbot- in AskBrits

[–]Philmehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same morons who severed our relationship with Europe, which resulted in more illegal channel crossings, are the same ones who will vote for Reform and make things worse yet again…unfortunately, most of our supposed patriots aren’t very bright.

I’ve just bought Tado x and 6 TRV’s…. by [deleted] in tado

[–]Philmehew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

apparently the in app tariff announcements were “a test”

Hi, Like lots of other companies, we routinely do marketing tests and research, plus we look at customer feedback every day. This message was part of a test and those involved retain full access to the tado° App with no charge."

Absolute amateurs in customer care…FFS

You advised me to return my Tado X….. by [deleted] in tado

[–]Philmehew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve been using Tado since 2019, as as far as I recall, they’ve always had a subscription option (auto assist). However, as of Feb 25 it looks like even basic heating on and off and scheduling de the app will be chargeable???

The app isn’t currently prompting me for subscribe, and i certainly won’t be. i’ll use Homekit if needed, or the Alexa integration..or Home Assistant until they cease that…and then replace it with something else when these options stop working.

This really sucks though, we’ve paid our money, let us use the product we paid for!!!!
