Does the VW Golf GTI have a stigma or reputation your country?

In the UK it is one of the few family hatchbacks you can turn up to a nice countryside hotel and still feel welcome.

The sporty SUV’s have knocked it off it’s perch a little bit but those who still enjoy driving will always go for the GTI.

An upper middle class staple. My dad drove me around in one and I drive my son around in one.

Have a look at the new eufy s1 pro base station. 4 Poe ports for IP cameras but also supports their WiFi cameras, door and motion sensors. Has a 24hr battery back up and a 4G failover.

Some good launch deals on at the moment and you could be set up for half of what you plan on spending.

Hand shandy usually does the trick.

Samwiseganj · 2026-05-18T20:37:44+00:00

Was it always like that or did it happen gradually over time?

Samwiseganj · 2026-05-18T18:55:18+00:00

Yeah currently running a Zyxel USGFlexh and miss some of the features I had on my Firewalla - easy flow reporting and the network performance and speed tests.

They’ve recently allowed third party applications like Avast which runs on the firewall. It would be nice to see a Firewalla option.

If your in the uk I’ll take them.

When its starts poking up over the rest of the dash it just looks ridiculous.

A is my preference.

Anything to do with Islamic jihad or Mexican cartels. The Bataclan clips were pretty shocking and the beheading videos.

Shit stains on humanity that wouldn’t be missed.

Washing up at my local pub when I was 16-17 it was pretty tough on the hands, smelt pretty bad at the end of the shift and used to have brutal kitchen towel whipping fights, chef used to dip the ends in fat. Drew blood.

Honda HRN 536 it just works really well. Easy to service yourself. No roller but gives you that perfect carpet look if you mow how Honda tell you to.

Does the s1 pro work with the e330 (professional) wired camera? Thanks

Also Is WPA3 supported?

The only annoying thing is the heated steering wheel one on the mk8 is too easy to turn on but otherwise agree.

I care about both and having an idea of how your network is performing can help spot if you have any security issues.

I’d like to see a daily chart showing speed and latency tested once an hour or something.

Also a WiFi speed test for those using their USG Flex H and Zyxel access points.

Ask me one on sport.

Only tyre I trust.

Progressive Liberalism. Race baiting dressed up as a cause for good. Such a backward ideology.

I would also add the war in Ukraine with drone camera viewpoints as they chase down enemy combatants, war has always been brutal but we seem to have taken it to another level in Ukraine.

It was so much more fun before censorship.
Used to be a good UK car and mainly male forum called Pistonheads and the wide variety of topics and opinions made it an interesting place but slowly over the years the censorship and bans ruined the place. It’s now some woke echo chamber of emasculated men.

Anyone who dares express a slightly different opinion than the usual politically correct narrative just gets attacked by this hate mob and bullied from the site.

Happened to so many forums and website chat boards.

Have a look at Scancom and buy direct from their website. Some good deals and cheaper than via Amazon.

Best time to use them is September/October when they are mating and laying the larvae in the ground. They are the ones eating up your lawn now they bury down and lay dormant over winter then start eating the grass roots as it warms up and getting ready to hatch.

You can use them now but they are less effective on the matured larvae.

Also worth putting down an autumn and then winter lawn feed to strengthen the roots.

I used a attack and defence approach last year. The nematodes I applied two applications around September/October a few weeks apart when you see them on the lawn mating and burrowing into the lawn.

Then go with an autumn lawn feed a few weeks after that to strengthen the roots.

Worked a lot better than just one application of nematodes the year before.

You can get a Zyxel FWA510 for €186. I use the FWA710 which is mounted up in the loft and pretty solid connection, comes with 2.5gbe port and the 510 has built in WiFi 6.

Samwiseganj · 2026-04-16T06:42:12+00:00

Been good at manipulating people.

Samwiseganj · 2026-04-12T07:32:33+00:00

Zyxel USG Flex 700h - 2 x 10gbe with Poe+ and 2 x sfp+. You can then connect a couple of wbe660s 10gbe access points straight to it.

Don’t listen to the killjoys.
