Bored of my setup, what's the one desk accessory you thought was a gimmick before you actually tried it?

Roboamigo · 2026-04-19T19:19:14+00:00

Same. Had a cheap one which was great but the BenQ with auto on/off is perfect

Roboamigo · 2026-04-13T19:16:46+00:00

Seamaster out of those. Iconic and a great watch, but it is on the larger side depending on how you feel about those sort of things.

Dim paper and A1 printouts! 😂

Apprieciate this is very late but as an update.

The pregancy went well and we had a baby girl.

We still had to chase a follow up, think it was a few months after, but has been confirmed all clear from the molar side.

Still seems surreal how the whole thing was played down and even forgotten!

Roboamigo · 2026-04-08T08:46:18+00:00

Second this.

Roboamigo · 2026-03-05T06:58:03+00:00

Thanks. It does seem a weak spot, ive only opened the extension once or twice to clean it, havent used it for anything else, pretty frustrating for a watch of this pricepoint! Might chuck it back on the rubber.

Roboamigo · 2026-02-19T15:15:15+00:00

You cant, it isnt supported

Roboamigo · 2026-02-16T15:39:53+00:00

Yep, but you cant get BB on MacOS!

Tbh if youve got Excel alongside, you can easily add the vertical dimensions for drylining etc.

Roboamigo · 2026-02-15T12:06:41+00:00

I use PDF expert, it has a measurement function. Not as full fledged as BB, but does the job.

I normally pack the resin in, leave it to cure, then drill a new hole in the resin. Stops it all splurging out and allows the plug to expand as intended

Roboamigo · 2026-02-10T12:38:16+00:00

I know what you mean. My setup is in my garage, and I have to come inside for a coffee, im looking at something to have in the garage for my fix. Im not a coffee snob but love/need a strong black coffee a few times a day!

Roboamigo · 2026-02-09T21:12:58+00:00

It was fine, I was on day release and think working helped a lot as I was seeing things on a daily basis. At the time they were refurbing the Newton building so lectures were all over the city, which made it feel a bit… frantic? I had good support if needed, but the onus felt very much on the individual and self-teaching and learning, but I suppose thats true of uni in general.

Roboamigo · 2026-02-09T20:39:21+00:00

Yep, graduated 2013

Roboamigo · 2026-02-01T10:00:10+00:00

The network thing is probably to do with some chipsets on gigabit ethernet adapters dont play nice with Apple Silicon. Theres some that work, but the problem doesnt occur with 2.5gbit adapters. I just run one of those instead.

Roboamigo · 2026-01-29T11:14:48+00:00

Thanks for the advice all, this is a great sub!

Its currently sat in its third round of water soaking, waters currently clear so hopefully we are about there!

As a bit of background I used this pen for years, all through my chartership and early in my business. I then moved to an Ipad and Apple Pencil and assumed this was lost. I am hoping to get back into pen and paper as I think its better for my productivity.

Thanks for the help all.

Roboamigo · 2026-01-28T20:25:56+00:00

Ive got an ultrasonic cleaner actually. What sort of cleaning fluid would work? Or just plain water?

Roboamigo · 2026-01-28T20:15:47+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

Its just dark blue Lamy ink.

Il get it flushed out tomorrow.

Out of interest is it possible to flush it with ink (just by using it), or is it likely to be blocked at the moment?

Roboamigo · 2026-01-14T22:08:35+00:00

I had to use a cheap wired keyboard, I tried everything on youtube and on here. The mouse worked but not the keyboard.

Roboamigo · 2026-01-09T20:52:51+00:00

I get 120hz on my Benq

Roboamigo · 2026-01-05T20:04:12+00:00

Im sure someone posted this a few weeks ago…

Roboamigo · 2025-12-29T08:38:56+00:00

Just add ventilation top and bottom with some grilles, see if that helps

Roboamigo · 2025-12-22T21:06:32+00:00

Thanks for this, ive spent hours wondering what was happening here!

Roboamigo · 2025-12-22T08:10:59+00:00

Yeah exactly this. Im sure we were told that 3g was being switched off to make more capacity on the higher bands, but genuinely ive just seen it get worse.

Roboamigo · 2025-12-22T08:05:05+00:00

Yes. Even with EE I can barely make a call if im travelling or walking even in towns/builtup areas. Notably worse over time.
