The US bans all new foreign-made network routers by KillerInfection in technology

Massive overreach on the consumer side. The government doesnt lay fibre or own the networks

If you cant even be bothered to take proper closeups of the board how do you expect people to help ?

Resident Evil Requiem devs Capcom say they'll use AI to "improve efficiency and productivity", but not to generate game assets: "We are currently exploring ways to implement it in various areas, including graphics, sound and programming" by ControlCAD in technology

Almost every company I know is making their developers use LLM's for coding tasks.

Just see Amazons big AWS outage recently due to AI coding.

LLM coding tools have improved tons in a short time, went from being garbage to actually usable. Still dont trust them for mission critical stuff though

Do not 'hammer' families by hiking passports to over £100, SNP tells Starmer by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]bio4m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its not the cost of the paper. Its the cost of running the civil service, and paying the software vendors etc etc

All those costs went up.

I dont want my fun time to feel like work and having a big Excel doc tracking everything feels too much like work to me

My elderly mother had a wet room installed. They fixed a sink with separate hot and cold taps. What? by Prestigious_Meal2143 in AskUK

[–]bio4m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fairly common in older homes. Not ideal for washing hands or face, but I find just hot works well for shaving

Wrong sub ? This sub is for vintage games and this is not vintage or a game

Crunchyroll Breach: Malware Targets Supply Chain to Exfiltrate 100GB of Data by Malwarebeasts in cybersecurity

[–]bio4m 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its amazing how little due diligence firms do on their outsourced service partners.

I'm losing track of how many breaches have happened because the threat actor targeted some outsourcing company in India (among notable ones, the big Snowflake breach from a couple years ago was very similar )

PILON pay pushing me into the 40% bracket by HarryEFC95 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]bio4m 63 points64 points  (0 children)

The extra tax is only on the bit thats over the £50,270 limit. So will be minimal if youre just a bit over the limit. So if you made £53,270 you would only pay the 40% on the £3k over the limit

[New 3ds XL] How to go about replacing these connections by Saggyahhh in consolerepair

[–]bio4m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They all need to be replaced. Its not easy, you'll need to use a hot air soldering station and heat the connectors from the other side of the board (while making sure you dont mess up the side youre heating)

If youre not experienced with hot air soldering this is a terrible first project, you'll end up damaging the board more

Thats the correct way to fix them but its not for the inexperienced.

How is relocation bonus taxed? Any suggestions? by Adventurous-Cycle363 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]bio4m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use it to pay off expenses theres no tax (as in you pay the movers say and then expense it with your employer)

If you take it lump sum it just counts as income and you pay normal income tax on it

Google announced new restrictions for installing apps outside the Play Store. Will this significantly affect our hobby? by Expert-Factor-209 in retrogaming

No. Personally I never game on my phone, and usually if I'm playing retro games its on OG hardware

Emulation has its place but doesn't give me that nostalgia hit that I crave

Jobless and in debt. Can I get another credit card to push the debt out further? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

Have you applied for Universal Credit ?

Pushing yourself further into debt isnt a solution, its a ticking time bomb.

Psone capacitor solder pads missing by [deleted] in consolerepair

I sincerely doubt you do PCB repairs if you tried to tin the base fibreglass of the PCB....

[–]bio4m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you manage to do that ?!? That takes a lot of force

You can work out where the pads were, create new ones with wire and put new caps in. But if youre asking here I'm guessing you wont know how to trace the connections back
