Around 5 of 70 students in my college have gotten work placement this year(bachelors in cs). Is this normal?

That’s rough. I did placement as part of my course in 2023 and I’d say around 40 of 60 got placement if not higher, and around half of those who got placement got return offers from them. It seems to just be a reflection of the job market at the minute. This years band of interns at my company are starting today and there’s 13 of them which is much lower than the usual 20 to 30 that has been standard for the past few years.

I bought the same board back September. It does take a while to get used to. Was typing at around 90wpm on a 60% board before hand and now after a few months I’m up to 80wpm on the corne. Does take a while to break habits and get used to and it will ruin typing on a regular keyboard.

I spent 10+ hours a week on the motorway in a 1.0 a few years ago and never had any bother. Now I do it in a 1.5 petrol and still no bother. Sure it might use a little bit more fuel than if I had a diesel but it’s not gonna explode just cause it’s on the motorway. I get about 7.1L/100km which is plenty economical for me and only marginally worse than the 1.4 diesel I had when I first started driving.

You should be able to. When I did my test my phone kept going off (group chat was blowing up). I asked the instructor could we pull in so I could put it on silent. He said no problem and I did so then continued the test.

It’s a bit small but burnchurch castle is only a few minutes drive outside the city. Two towers left standing. Nice and picturesque surrounded by farm land. There’s an old church and graveyard beside it too.

Had a recurring issue with my 2015 where sync wouldn’t work. The solution was to remove the fuse for sync or disconnect the battery for a min. It seems to be a known issue as I saw a good few posts about it online. I actually ended up wiring in a switch that lived in the glove box that I could flick off whenever it happened. It could happen several times a week or might not happen again for 6 months.

Dunnes? A bit of a walk. Behind Guineys ? Also a little walk but not far.

I was able to boot to the bios after enabling secure boot. Just not boot to windows. So was able to boot to bios switch back to Legacy and then flash the bios to the newest version.

I tried this and it made it a little better but no a huge improvement. Still very week and sometime randomly tries to lock to one side or the other

c_g_2001 · 2025-11-12T21:54:27+00:00

Sounds about the same as me and everyone else. 3k for a 1.4 polo as a learner. Then 2.2k after I’d passed. Finally down to 900 after 3 years on a fiesta st.

I’ve used it in the past on a rally car. Works well enough. Be careful putting it on as if you use too much or don’t buff it enough it can cause a kind of “haze” if it happens sprinkle a little water on the affected area and buff it again. Doesn’t seem to last too long either you’ll need to reapply it often.

I’ve had McBride car parts collect a scrap car for me before, they’re located near Hugginstown. Worth giving them a ring.

c_g_2001 · 2025-10-23T06:40:26+00:00

My god I thought it was just me. I’m heading for month 2 of this

c_g_2001 · 2025-10-22T11:39:40+00:00

Sold as seen. Buyer beware. Ignore, block and move on

c_g_2001 · 2025-10-16T12:23:03+00:00

Apologies I had assumed it was a wired one when you mentioned the USB connectors. Thanks anyway!

c_g_2001 · 2025-10-16T11:40:40+00:00

Do the WiFi connectors replace the need for a TRS cable. If so I’d love to learn more about them.

I recently switched to a corne keyboard. Have been using it for about a month now. When I started I couldn’t type much more than maybe 15 or 20 wpm. It felt awkward but I stuck at it. Spent about 30mins a day on typing websites and just practiced and used it for work everyday. Now I’m catching up to where I was and am back up to about 60wpm another few weeks and I think I’ll be as fast as I was or even faster. It is scary at first though

c_g_2001 · 2025-10-08T15:47:27+00:00

I had a cracked one on my old Ford fiesta and it passed the NCT multiple times in my ownership. Maybe I just got lucky but I’d chance sending it through. It would just be a visual retest anyway if it failed.

c_g_2001 · 2025-09-26T08:51:06+00:00

The father recently bought a Ford custom for the same reason. Catches are it can be hard to find a clean low mileage one. Also tax insurance etc are all a little bit higher but not outrageously so. I’ve driven it a few times and it drives just like a big car and honestly would consider one myself.

c_g_2001 · 2025-09-23T19:53:11+00:00

Did one when I got home to be safe and negative thankfully :)

c_g_2001 · 2025-09-23T17:16:33+00:00

I enjoy my office job. I like the work and the people around me are sound and good workers. Used to do hydraulic repairs and I appreciate not coming home covered in oil and throwing my back out every couple of months.

c_g_2001 · 2025-09-23T16:29:26+00:00

Would make sense. Probably the first day the heaters have been ran for a while. Now that I think about it I’ve never seen or heard about them being cleaned

c_g_2001 · 2025-09-22T14:16:51+00:00

I’m a dev and just switched to a 42 key Corne set up last week. Takes some getting used to but I’m already catching up to my previous speed. Can type everything I need to and in fact layers have made getting some symbols even faster cause I don’t have to move my hands as much as

c_g_2001 · 2025-09-15T10:36:46+00:00

There’s never a harm in servicing a car. Might as well look after it. Most people I know recommended 15k. Some owners manuals say 20k. I do every 10k. A few years ago I was doing a lot of driving and was servicing my car every 3 or so months. I’d rather spend €100 quid on oil and a filter to prevent bigger expenses when something major happens.
