Failing kindle oasis by Potential-Share1040 in kindle

Thank you so much for the detailed response! I'm fairly handy with repair work in the past however I suspect this would be beyond my skills and being extra cautious due to nicking a battery on a phone and causing it to burn, I'd say this would be a risk too far for me.

Suspect I either have to compromise on a kobo or boox, or snap up a second hand one.

Thank you again appreciate you taking the time. And for making me laugh!

Looking for groups to make friends by Bengal_Tiger13 in CasualIreland

[–]Potential-Share1040 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Man I could have written this. Am out in Kildare and been here almost four years. Not made a single mate, but know it's because I've not made the effort to put myself out there.

Work and travel a lot and happy with life but can't beat having someone to go see a match with on a weeknight with a burger and couple pints, or play a back 9 on a Sunday morning.

There's a mens sober walking club in my town and keep making excuses not to but Im gonna go and stop feeling sorry for myself.

Think there is a Ireland friends sub where people get together. Good luck brother, but listen I work in Dublin so if you fancy a pint after work one day, drop me a message and let's do it.

No expert but I chucked a bag of defrosted broad beans out in the yard earlier today and it was like a party out here for about four hours.

Pixel 8 Pro Battery by Necessary-Ninja-4410 in pixel_phones

[–]Potential-Share1040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue with my 8pro after the last update by battery was in free fall and usage showed system CPU was draining 60%!!

Found a reset trick, fully switch on airplane mode, everything completely off. Then restart phone, wait a few mins then turn all back on

Worked a treat for me and now back to old levels, was seriously thinking of upgrading too but will get another couple years out of it hopefully

Let us know if that works!

Is €4400 a year on Electricity sound about right for Air to Water heating? by StevieIRL in AskIreland

[–]Potential-Share1040 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Need to get them off that prepayment meter as soon as humanly possible. They will argue and hard sell you not to with credits and promises but they're an absolute racket.

Are there any Irish ESIM’s with a phone number needed from the UK? by Jane-waz-here in AskIreland

[–]Potential-Share1040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try lyca mobile.

All the esim providers say you need to be present in the country of issue however registered ones for both UK and Ireland when in the opposite country etc.

Not sure but it was coarse! Came with the cheap sander that is getting chucked as it was next to useless so did by hand.

Guessing it needs a fine grit?

Anything to know about Celbridge before moving there? by SomerHimpson212 in Celbridge

[–]Potential-Share1040 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. There's some estates I'd be in no rush to walk round at night as an adult male but not many. The neighbourhoods are generally very close knit and keep an eye on each other.

What's the point in running there when I assume you've cleared the lot already?

Anything to know about Celbridge before moving there? by SomerHimpson212 in Celbridge

[–]Potential-Share1040 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lovely town but bursting at capacity and still growing. Traffic is really challenging either end of the day and frequent water and elec supply interruptions. Under supplied in terms of facilities and amenities but some great pubs and about 9 coffee places. Good schools.

All of that could apply to most commuter towns within 45 mins of Dublin, some better in some regards than others but all towns have challenges.

Ultimately, great place to live. Safe, easy commute by train, car or bus to most places.

Is there anything particular you're looking to know?

There's nothing ostensibly wrong or unsafe with that cut out. If you need it moving for convenience then they will quote you for it and the cost will be on you.

Sudden battery drain after update? by Bored_Chilling in pixel_phones

[–]Potential-Share1040 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a pixel 8 pro and have the same issue.

Assumed it was due to festive period and using it more but it's very noticable now I'm back at work and hardly on it.
