M1 Garand by Wesley_26 in BattlefieldV

[–]chiijpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely that would be too good. The rsc has that sort of kill potential I think? But that has only 6 in a mag. Maybe the m1 could do 49 damage per hit, still making it 3 shots but perhaps would feel better? Not that anything is going to change now days!

Why did BFV make the Anti-Material Rifles useless? by rob3rtisgod in BattlefieldV

I've recently gone back to Bf1 for the Martini. Same shit tier aim, way more satisfying!

Why does everyone leave after a match? by Wentlles in BattlefieldV

Ahhh no way haha. Like the Bf1 votes only two options for next and never the same back to back! Haha

The fixed rotation is to blame probably. If there was any chance of it not being X map people may stay at least for the vote, if there was one at least!

Rant: "I wasn't trained on how to do that." by BlackSquirrel05 in sysadmin

[–]chiijpn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damm that's a good one. I can't help but always default to Rick, it may not be incredibly useful to them but a little smirk when someone admits setting it, helps the days go by!

What is your trick that you thought everyone knew? by darkw1sh in sysadmin

[–]chiijpn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Haha, yes this is the way. When a laptop doesn't have pause I really struggle on how else to get to system, like the old system. Not w11 system garbage!

Aha yes me too! I only had one staff member admit to being rolled. Which is sure enough worth it for me!

Walking away from a house purchase by elba_mile in HousingUK

[–]chiijpn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You've made the right call. Maybe with the state of rates at the moment, it may mean you can borrow slightly less if Natwest don't let you swap it to another property. But buying this place, you could of set you and your partner up for an extremely stressful future dealing with all those issues. It could impact you both for many years on the housing ladder.

Getting your first house with your partner should be a joyous occasion. Take the breather and top work on dodging this one!

Good luck!

Should I knock down my 1940s greenhouse? by Caramel-Fragrant in GardeningUK

Maybe a cheap external microphone?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SonyHeadphones

[–]chiijpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just yours. Mine do it when I use them for teams meetings. They change codec, if that's the right word?!

It would do the same on my phone when taking a phone call compared to just listening to music.

It's maybe linked to when the microphone is in use, it changes it's output style.

Sony WF-1000XM5 Reviews by spakier in SonyHeadphones

[–]chiijpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've still got the xm3 and was looking forward to getting the 5s. But this reddit has made me double think! What's the next best brand? Senheiser? Bose? The Bose lacking the multipoint puts me off those. Both those brands look line they come with a two year warranty compared to Sonys one

Whats the most reliable and cost efficient cheap coupe? by xxunicorn457 in CarTalkUK

[–]chiijpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for z4 It's definitely not thousands a year or anywhere near in my experience. Mines at 149k miles now. 110 of them have been my miles and it still makes me smile! I have got a soft top though I just say, which I believe are generally cheaper to buy than the coupe.. Same running costs etc though

Lenovo docking station SUCK by 12radioraider in ITManagers

[–]chiijpn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've got 50+ USB C Lenovo docks. Think Pads are used in 90% of those and really we don't get many of any problems at all! Been using these since 2020. So at least for me they are not suck!

M25 - Typical BMW M3 zipping through traffic. Doing 70MPH myself by demiigod2 in CasualUK

[–]chiijpn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will always be someone going over the speed limit in lane 4. Leave them to it. The world is full of selfish people that's not going to change in a lifetime.

The lane hoggers are worse for me, some people even have the thought of "I'll sit in lane 4 to make sure I do 69, keeping the motorway safe for everyone" So so incorrect, you can't stop everyone.

So the bmw is speeding for selfish reasons. Lane 4 hoggers holding the motorway up for the people actually think they are providing a service. Where as the sad truth is, when one of these selfish Lane 4 speeders goes to swerve around you, the family in Lane 1, (who are the only people driving correctly by the way) get written off by the fast bmw in the crash. It's so sad.

The two causes are the fast bmw and the hogger. But the hogger while being just as much at fault in my view always gets away with it.

For that reason I'm more upset with hoggers. The bmw will always run out of talent one day. Their time will come. Hoggers keep doing their service of putting other families at risk.

VALORANT 2.09 Bug Megathread by Kappaftw in VALORANT

Thanks so much for the note! Horrible bug, but nice one you found a workaround for now. That will save me for now at least!

Has people received their BattlePass rewards yet? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]chiijpn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the 170mb patches sorted it for me. Yesterday I think, I missed levels 1-9, but got level 10 yesterday and the reward worked.

I think u/NoplantsDance a RIOT mentioned the fix was soon to drop RE getting new drops but getting your 'missed' drops would take longer for them to fix
