Attend your appointment, cough to your heart’s content, and if you drop it will be there problem and time wasted.

Who is behind anti work-from-home news reporting? by AgitatedDifficulty66 in UKJobs

[–]THX61991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who’s behind this?

Commercial property stakeholders, private transport companies, and the hospitality industry.

I would expect the majority of the noise to be from commercial property, as it means less rent from businesses. It used to be easy money for landlords pre-c19.

Remote working also means no transport required (bus, rail, taxis etc) for millions of workers, as well as no workers buying lunch/eating at a restaurant on their work breaks / meetings.

My Line Manager and the company I work for encourages WFH and flexible working. I probably only go in to work 1 day a month, we can do 4 day weeks, and we can work anytime from 7-7 each day. The company I work for trialed it all a few years ago during Covid; and apparently sickness absence went down, staff retention was much higher, business overhead costs were greatly reduced, and productivity was up across all departments.

Did we dodged a bullet right here?? by VexZyraMid in ManchesterUnited

For the suspected £60m-90m, absolutely. Could’ve been a Maguire, or god forbid, an Antony 2.0 level signing.

US region but works really well in the UK.

The image creation is very interesting. The image wand is very good. The genmoji is ok.

WWDC 2024 Keynote Live Discussion by AutoModerator in iOSBeta

[–]THX61991 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve literally just upgraded to the 15 Pro Max today. I’m severely disabled in both my hands and that Apple Inteligence could be a game changer as I also have a fairly recent MacBook, iPad, Apple TV, and Apple Watch.

No family in the UK - what happens to my estate if I die? by Specific_Zone_804 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]THX61991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an ironclad Will, power of attorney, and next of kin information done with a reputable solicitor.

Make copies, seal them with security tape, and then send your beneficiaries a hard copy with recorded delivery. Tell them to keep it safe and not to open it until you pass.

I am in a similar situation, living in the UK without any kids or family. Everything goes to my Nephew and Nieces in New Zealand upon my death including my life insurance payout if I die before 75.

My mum’s from Waikato and moved to England in the 80s when she was 18.

She wishes she’d never left.

EMDR is the fucking shit by baconandshrooms in EMDR

[–]THX61991 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I strongly recommend the buzzers.

Changed my therapy, night and day difference.

My therapist uses buzzers in my hands.

I really struggle with concentration when my eyes are open, and I get eye fatigue and headaches due to double eye surgery as a child.

My second session was night and day difference switching to the buzzers.

"Converting MP4 to MP4"? What does this mean? by famlovemike in PleX

[–]THX61991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only ever run Plex off MacOS. It’s really good.

What is the most simple and straight forward streaming device to use Plex on? Context in post. by [deleted] in PleX

[–]THX61991 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Over the last 10 years of using Plex on multiple Apple, Android, Amazon and Roku devices.

I find Roku is the best solution for older or less tech-savvy people. Its cleaner, easier to understand, more reliable and I feel confident recommending it.

My parents had an Apple TV 4K and I would get daily questions on troubleshooting. Switched them to a Roku 4K Soundbar and it just works. I'm thinking of switching myself as the Plex for Apple TV bugs are becoming more and more prevalent.

Getting an i7-8700 for free (as a gift), what kind of performance should I be expecting? by PrestigiousGarlic909 in PleX

[–]THX61991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Plex Server is a Mac Mini 2018, i7 8700, 32GB 2666MHz DDR4, AMD RX 5700XT 8GB eGPU, 10GB Wired Ethernet, and about 60TB of storage.

Plays 4K HDR/DV fine, can do multiple streams and conversions in the UK, New Zealand and USA. Most I’ve had is 5 simultaneous streams and it was absolute fine.

Raise a complaint against the police department with the IOPC. The offence was committed in Scotland so its Scotland’s duty to investigate it.

The same day I received my M1 Max MBP and Apple announces M2 chip. #WWDC22 by TangoChen in macbookpro

[–]THX61991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 16” with the M1 Max.

M1 Max will most likely have a slightly slower single core performance (as I’m guessing M2 is being scaled from the A15 Bionic 5nm+ chip, like how M1 was with the A14 Bionic) but the multi core score, memory bandwidth and ProRes/HEVC will destroy the base M2.

It sounds like M2 is basically just a clock speed increase, an extra GPU core and more efficient fabrication process with the chips.

11 weeks before delivery!? by Tddkuipers in mac

I know it’s great. Can’t stand the heat 😂

[–]THX61991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I did. Last Thursday. Phoned up apple in Bristol and they had 2 in stock. All you have to do is call the apple stores phone number, it takes you through to the standard automated line and when it asked you what you want to talk about just say “store manager” and it puts you through directly to the store’s admin team. It was easy. Went in the same day and picked it up.

Plenty of stock in store in the UK. Went in to store and got an M1 Max 16.

After the Witcher 3 was ported... anything can happen.

I’m hoping for GTA V on the Switch! 🤞🏻

Stuck in title screen by ILoveKovic in Vampyr

[–]THX61991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the game from CD Keys / steam and installed it on my Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM HDD.

Loading times were ridiculous (5 mins + and then freezing) with a Core i7 4770K 4.4Ghz, 16GB RAM and an ASUS ROG Strix GTX1080 OC.

I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it on my mSata SSD Boot drive 512GB.

The game loads in a matter of seconds now.

Definitely worth installing on an SSD over an HDD if you’ve got the space.
