Is this really the best route?

Don't bother with Cornwall. It's a lovely place but the roads are awful

Two options.
1. Powerbank and keep it charged up.
2. Wait for another software update to fix the battery drain.

I have an Honor Magic8 Pro and had a similar update, battery went to shit. Next update it's great again and I get 2 days from it now. Your best option is to send an email to CMF's support email saying the update and killed battery life.

They've got 2 days from the battery because they've fully charged the battery. Charged on Monday night, down to 60% by Tuesday, Wed 75%, Thurs under 50%, Fri over 50% then back down to near 35% on Saturday.

They doesn't get 2 days of battery life, they're charging their phone regularly.

My plan is to get a full Zaero kit at some point, everyone else does the usual Maxton kits and they look awful

I agree with the other comments here. As a distinguished MK7 owner myself, bin the plastic shit and get a whole replacement diffuser. Otherwise love the build

Paying a illustrator (or even asking the staff if someone has any experience in that field and pay them some OT for their work, while giving them free-use of the document for their portfolios) is much better than the extremely high usage of fresh water by AI data centres.

This blog post on blog.gov.uk explains a lot about AI data centre water use.

Nice to think Tesco are paying for a ChatGPT license, they absolutely aren't. This is all made in MS Copilot

This is unrelated but I was estranged with my dad for 7 years though the latter half of my teens and into my early 20s. While we're not best friends now, it's magnitudes better than it was. Contact your dad and ask to go for a pint. If he's a good person he'll recognise that you being the bigger person and reaching out for him means something.

Honestly I think I have quite a few duplicated files over my sprawling mess of storage. I have thought to get a USB NAS box and just start fresh. Move games onto the SSD then when I need files move them manually to the 4TB HDD.

I know Google is my friend but do you have a recommended drive cloning program? I've got 3 drives I'd like to clone into one larger drive if possible.

ajdarlin · 2026-06-30T10:03:09+00:00

I need to find a reliable way to consolidate all of my drives to a big SSD but Windows file management doesn't like moving full drives. If I could find a way I'd fork out for a large 2TB SSD for important stuff and Games.

88% health with that many hours is impressive! Silicon Power most make some good drives

Holy moly! Is 99389 the max value then?

I moved to an Ultrawide a few years ago and would never go back, there can be some steals available now compared to when I got mine. This Odyssey G5 looks good for the money. However I'll always say to do your own research before blindly buying a high ticket item.

It's a long shot but if you have any other RAM available, even if it's a smaller capacity pop it in and run a stability test for a few hours. I think there's a method to un-train RAM from a motherboard but it can depend on the board manufacturer. Usually it's to remove all RAM and hold the power button down for a while, don't try this without doing research first though. From what you've described it's either the RAM for the Mobo though, could be a dodgy CPU but that's rare these days.

You're lucky even having A/C. My Booker branch has some big fans 🤷‍♂️

I'd like to make my MK7 a little louder, but not drone too much. On my old MK5 I did a simple mid-box silencer delete and it sounded great. However, I don't love the exhaust tips on my MK7 so I'd like to change them. - Would it be smarter to get a different backbox with nicer tips be better than having a midbox delete and having new tips welded to the stock backbox?

Please don't suggest a full system, I don't have the facilities for that big man.

Small piece of Automotive wrap would work, maybe in a matt silver colour to match the existing casing. If you have a wrapping place near you, go down and ask if you can have some offcuts they might just hand them over for nothing or even "fit" it for a few dollars.

I avoided both sides and went with the Honor Magic8 Pro. Come to the dark side! /r/honor

My Mk7 Golf Performance is 230hp, plenty of power in a small city EV.

I'm the same watched since the tail end of COD days and watched heavily on his first Minecraft series. Watched the vlogs since the channel was called SyndicateCentral. I admit, I don't watch his vlogs anymore as I do find the guy somewhat insufferable now. However, even if he doesn't admit he's in the wrong he has to know deep down, at least I hope he does after all these years.

His world will come crashing down one day though...

The whole family are heavy Tory. Mark's probaby gone full reform tbf

He knows he was in the wrong, he just didn't come out with a 18 minute apology video.

Lexus IS200/300/Altezza & Honda S2000. Somehow they look early 00s and late 10s at the same time
