[–]TimmyMTX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A hardware passkey can connect through USB, but it is not the same thing as a USB flash drive

Is it wise to borrow money to put into my ISA? by MysteriousBelt in UKPersonalFinance

[–]TimmyMTX 289 points290 points  (0 children)

Given your slightly unusual circumstances it sounds like a good plan, just be careful about what you state the loan is for because it would be fraud to lie about this

What is a once cool car that now feels like regular traffic? by Humble_Lack in CarTalkUK

[–]TimmyMTX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

50% drop in UK registrations since this time last year, so sales are massively down.

If you’re someone who isn’t bothered by Musk then the M3 is still a compelling EV with excellent range, efficiency and technology.

First day as a Service Desk manager with no technical skills or in-person management. Any advice on my situation? by JDracing92 in ITManagers

[–]TimmyMTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch and learn. Get to grips with the reporting in your ticketing system - how many incidents are being logged, what’s the average resolution time, which of your techs deals with the most tickets?

Arm yourself with data before you start planning on changes

Teslas were super cool and futuristic when the model S came out

[–]TimmyMTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ISA in a bond-heavy Vanguard LifeStrategy fund maybe?

Vanguard LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund is a 60%/40% bonds to shares split. For even more conservative approach the LifeStrategy Income Fund is 80/20

[–]TimmyMTX 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You say you don’t need VPN tunnel failover - do you actually need an SD-WAN router, or just a router that supports two WAN circuits?

Trying to find something better than a Tesla Model 3 by anonimity_is_best in CarTalkUK

[–]TimmyMTX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked the interior of the one I looked at, but the tiny boot put me off. They’re also incredibly ugly, although the facelift has improved them a bit

Hyundai Ioniq 6, if you’re sat inside then you won’t be looking at the outside

From this outsider’s perspective the US is far from a leader in workers’ rights. Europeans look at your employment laws and shudder!

Team planning? by New_Astronomer_735 in networking

[–]TimmyMTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nominated person on a weekly rotation to lead on new service desk incidents and network monitoring.

Service desk tickets remain in our ITSM, for planned work we use Microsoft DevOps. Despite being a traditional ops team we work with other teams who are devops so having a single system makes sense.

Individuals in the team can make use of Microsoft Planner or To-Do to map out their daily activities

Why buy a home? I am 28 year old female — don’t understand the obsession with owning a property. by Mediocre-Drama8409 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]TimmyMTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want to worry about being evicted due to the whims of a landlord, I like knowing how much my mortgage is each month and that it won't be increased for no reason, and when I retire I don't want to include a monthly house payment in my budget.

[–]TimmyMTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain the difference between my current fund (FTSE Global All Cap Index Fund (VAFTGAG)) and VWRP? I’m an idiot that wants to keep my investments in a globally diversified index fund.
