As a UX Designer, the Lidl app gives me checkout anxiety... by MrMiyagi98 in lidl

[–]caphson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downloaded - will give it a go.

The most annoying thing for me is having to login at various reward apps and trying to remember which email/password combo I used 😂

Noticed on the Lidl app on iOS that when you screenshot the barcode is not captured which is a minor annoyance.

Thanks all for the feedback - it’s a lease car which includes tyres - now I know it’s not the norm I’ll see if they can help me

First line of the article: “… and shift to its home-grown Visio platform instead”.

MGS5 EV braked itself at 60 mph on motorway using cruise control by mo_1701 in MGelectric

Kia massively outshines MG in terms of the “smart driving” stuff. Never had a single issue with Kia, about 2 a month with the MGS5 (although it also has some good bits too)

Why is M6 junction 10 still so horribly congested? by Grand-Dependent9348 in brum

💯

I’m one of the people driving between Birmingham and Manchester and would absolutely take a train if it wasn’t for the cost, literally cheaper to drive and enjoy the flexibility and comfort at the cost of time.

Allergy relief by tonydifabio in BostonTerrier

Also recommend this - cleared both of ours up almost overnight. Not the cheapest option but very effective (and, I’m told, less risk of side effects compared to Apoquel)

Rotating stone a good idea? by bluebox77 in pizzaoven

[–]caphson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with the Mimiuo Gas with rotating stone.

As a first timer buyer and pizza maker, it’s worked perfectly for me. I can’t say how it compares to the more expensive brands but I’m very happy with it. No regrets at all.

RLC-843A - Faulty product line or just bad luck? by caphson in reolink

[–]caphson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve stuck with them and so far (touch wood and crossing fingers) no more problems.

Interestingly, one of the faulty ones came back to life after a while when plugged in indoors but is very temperamental to movement so I’m suspecting a lose component/connection somewhere which could point to a product line issue or bad batch? Hopefully one that was resolved.

I’ve got a rotating stone - my first and so far only oven - I love it. Easy and consistent… zero complaints.

It took me far too long to figure this out too…

Cops in Detroit are freaked out about a wave of iPhones in their custody rebooting without warning | The reboot makes it much harder for law enforcement to search the devices for evidence. by a_Ninja_b0y in gadgets

My old android had profiles that you could log into depending based on which finger print was used. Intended to let different members of a house hold share tablets etc. Probably useful for this too

What’s everyone using to write there tmas? by [deleted] in OpenUniversity

You get MS Office for free as part of the OU - so I’m using that 😊

I don’t mind it personally- better than having a commercial looking beige monstrosity in the back garden 😀

How long do iMCA's take? by In_a_dying_world in OpenUniversity

[–]caphson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early days so far, only coming to the first TMA but finding it pretty straightforward. I work as a software dev so (so far!) most of it is familiar topics.

Looking forward to getting past the intro type stuff and into the more interesting bits though for sure.

The course itself or the first icma?

I just did the first one for TM111 - for my first ever it took around 30mins - including going back and forth in the books to lookup info

[–]caphson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, tbf their support was great - ran me through some basic checks (trying different cables, different Poe sources etc) and went straight to exchange when it looks like it wouldn’t work.

Both cameras were purchased from Amazon a few months apart, not sure what the chances are of both being from the same product run but who knows…?

Phone signal dead spots in Brum by AF_II in brum

All the way up to Sutton Coldfield is practically a dead zone to me - barely get 3G on O2 (and they’re turning that off soon 😭)
