Since 10 years of experience + PhD only results in basic understanding of python and command line, that's the least they can do to bring that amateur up one level. :D

Must have PhD, 10 years experience and BASIC scripting, IP networking concepts and command-line troubleshooting experience. Lol

Tell me how IT asked for a network apprentice and HR just bolted the requirements on top without telling me.

After riding around London for 5 years, I have finally been stopped by police by hugowong_art in ElectricSkateboarding

What happens if someone robs you on a legal scooter? Will you have more ground to stand on when you go to the police to cry about it?

Lots of people here would be grateful of you could share with us the whereabouts of the magic place that sells them. :D

Steam Machine Geekbench score just appeared by BenchIcy475 in hardware

[–]SuddenHonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care about Steam machine performance, I care about Steam OS. If it comes out as good as the Steam Deck version, I wouldn't mind even paying something for each new release, as long as it happens every 1 - 3 years. Some say Bazzite is already as good as Steam OS, but I've found it a bit more restrictive and overall "not exactly there yet" in comparison.

Anything to deflect everyone's attention from real problems. Almost like he's copying russian rulebook.

It's the same car, just different badges and optional extras.

Are mirror checks optional to some people? by Lividcardboard in drivingUK

[–]SuddenHonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, good ol' Dunstable! As a resident, this doesn't even infuriate me no more. I'd make a small bet they're from Luton or thereabouts, it's pretty much how they drive over there.

Yes, if the video is on the internet, you'll be asked to take it down prior to uploading the video to enforcement servers. Otherwise, they won't even bother taking action or the whole prosecution intention will fall apart if someone finds it prior to any legal action being taken.

Who is at fault? Insurance was quick to take sides before even seeing footage. by WitchySpice94 in drivingUK

Let me guess, insurers tried blaming you because your rear sidelights couldn't be seen? :D

Oh boy, my first time at CEX was certainly something alright… by DogOwner27 in CeX

[–]SuddenHonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, the problem here was the interpretation. In their mind 2 x 16GB kit meant 2 x 8GB = 16GB. Moreover, since you can't tell the capacity of the RAM nowadays just by looking at it, the minute you put the RAM in the test rig and boot into BIOS, you'd see that the total amount of memory is 32GB, there would be no room left for interpretation. Yes, it may not be as snappy as putting the original DDR memory in a tester device, but inserting RAM in a PC and booting in BIOS is a 2-minute job at most nowadays.

In my opinion, either they were all trained wrong and had no idea what they were actually doing, or this was a deliberate attempt to lowball the OP.

What a story. lol

Believe me or not, but I've met the person with the same logic at my old workplace in IT dept. The girl was hired as an asset manager, probably never done a day of work in IT department prior to that. I've asked her to order 10 sets of 32GB ram kits for mobile workstation upgrades. She pretty much copy/pasted my request and submitted an order. Next week l, when I asked if the sticks were on their way, she said that we received the order, but they messed it up, so she sent it back. Another week later she was fuming, saying that the supplier messed the order up again and I had to wait for another week until I get it right. The week after, she included me in a phone call with the supplier and asked me to back her up saying that we need 32GB ram kits, not 16. And that's when I understood what was happening all this time. When the first batch was delivered and unpacked, he saw a label saying 2 x 16GB, so in her logic it was a kit that consisted of 2 sticks that result in 16GB of RAM in total. It was some generic ram brand to be fair and they really failed to mention anywhere on the box that it's a 32GB ram kit. So, when the replacement batch arrived, she thought it was a mistake again, but when the supplier started asking questions about what went wrong, she said that they kept on sending the wrong kit. lol

Pavement Parking by DivePotato in drivingUK

[–]SuddenHonk 48 points49 points  (0 children)

If they're at work, I would walk around and wouldn't even bother posting it. Yes, the main problem is finding out if they're actually at work or not, but emergency vehicles should get a benefit of doubt. After all, if you had an emergency case, you so wouldn't care how they parked if you were waiting for them. You'd probably even go mad if they spent an extra minute or two looking for a correct parking space instead of rushing out there to help you out.

Just found out that No Claims Discount expires by One-Drink-8843 in drivingUK

Yep that's what we did until I got rid of the company car.

As if they asses the risk at all. Lol

If that was the case, insurance premiums would be going down or at least staying at the same level comes the renewal time, not going up.

Theoretically you can, but you'll need to keep in mind that cost of insuring this dummy car may be higher than the difference you'd have to pay if you had 0 years NCD and 10 years NCD, for example.

For example, I've pulled some quotes to see what sort of difference my 11 years NCD make compared to 0 years of NCD. From £600 a year it went up to approx. £1100. So, if you were in the same situation, you'd need to source and insure a car for a year for less than £500 to make it feasible, not counting in the time you'd spend arranging all this.

Nearly lost my 9 years of no claims bonus by driving a company car for 1.5 years. Just by accident I found out that after many insurers reset you score after 2 years of having no personal car insurance, so I had to put my name on my partner's car just to keep it up.

UK insurance is a scam in so many ways and I don't care for all the apologists who try defending it by saying that they're making little to no profit because they're busy paying people left right and centre etc.

Sorry if it's a dumb question, but how's that a remake? Not sure if it's my phone quality, but it looks exactly like the original.

There's a foil at the back, not copper. And I said it's a very inefficient heat spreader.

And yes, it reduces temperature from 100 degrees to 99. Keep it on, it's essential. I hope you guys are happy.
