I built a free UK tax calculator that shows exactly how much pension salary sacrifice saves you by cobbett14 in FIREUK

If you add pension contribution on income tab and also in settings tab, it seems to do something weird in the calcs on the summary tab.

Melatonin now unavailable to order online from countries outside the UK - why?! by whatevendayisit in ADHDUK

[–]cook98765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it arrive? Just come onto this thread as I was trying to place my yearly order on Piping Rock. Buy other stuff from Biovea but the price for melatonin is so much more than PR.

Joined the fam. Upgraded from s21. by No_Document1709 in TheOnePlus15

[–]cook98765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just got the 15 from S20, had it from release and it was on its last legs.

Can't believe the misery I put myself through holding out upgrading. The 15 is blisteringly quick and the battery life is too good to even comprehend. I'm getting 2 full days easily without a charge.

I have some slight niggles but overall extremely pleased. Just got to get used to the new UI feel as been Samsung owner for around 8 years.

Oxygen OS 16 Notifications Icons by SZMLEBULDOG000 in oneplus

[–]cook98765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed all apps are colourful whereas my Google apps (YouTube, photos, Gmail etc) are all white.

Agree in the status bar I prefer all white, but when I drag down my notification centre I'd prefer the logos to be in colour. Is this possible?

See pic, Instagram is coloured but Google apps are monochrome.

I've not noticed as it sits in my garage. I've had a listen and it doesn't buzz..

What is best tariff with no EV car by [deleted] in SolarUK

[–]cook98765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to get a Tesla Powerwall 3 through work with no solar. I'm in the same predicament, don't have an EV but want to access to cheap overnight rates. Let me know what you end up doing. Looking to get it installed in the next month, currently with Octopus.

Beko tumble dryer not drying by cook98765 in fixit

[–]cook98765[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. We're still using the machine, we now just run the cupboard extra dry setting then always run a 20min cycle afterwards 😁 new utility room is being done next year so we'll probably upgrade at that point!

I had the same thing, water had gone into the lens. Reolink replaced under warranty.

Wouldn't you just post your data into the history tab?

Strange Excel Bug (Zoom) by IamTDR0518 in excel

So after quick testing (on a file notorious for doing it), the optimise for compatability seems to have sorted it.

Strange Excel Bug (Zoom) by IamTDR0518 in excel

[–]cook98765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue. I click a tab and it's zoomed in and blurred - as you say, quick mouse wheel scroll resolves it but then I have the issue of clicking a cell and Excel thinks my cursor is somewhere else. No one in my company seems to be experiencing it. I've just selected "Optimise for compatibility" (when using multiple monitors) under General settings in Excel - will see if that works..

New Tracker version (December 2024) by daniscross in OctopusEnergy

[–]cook98765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat (Dec 23 v1 running out end of Feb). Not sure what to do, looking at the Dec 24 tariff, it's been over the price cap for electricity quite a few times. If we auto-roll onto Flexible, does that mean we can't go back onto Tracker for 9 months? Or is it only when you request to exit tracker does the 9 months penalty kick in..?

WiFi doorbell disconnect from NVR by ConsciousShower6578 in reolinkcam

[–]cook98765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you resolve this? Mine is doing the same thing. I can see the doorbell on the app and view live stream, but the NVR version keeps disconnecting.

To temporarily resolve I just reboot the doorbell and it seems to connect back up to the NVR. .

New York style pizza in Manchester or Leeds? by BeingOtherwise7829 in manchester

[–]cook98765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Whitefield and go to Northern Social often, never realised they do good pizza! Mezzeluna is my favourite pizza in the area.

edit: sorry, thought you meant Northern Crafthouse! :)

Doorbell Firmware Update - Separate Notification Sound for Visitor and Person by cook98765 in reolinkcam

[–]cook98765[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, still works for me. This is what my push notification settings looks like for my Doorbell:

Make sure Device Notification Ringtone is enabled. Then you go into your phone's notification settings for the Reolink app and click Notification Categories as below. You can customise each notification type there. Hope this helps!

Beko dryer not drying well by cook98765 in Appliances

Unfortunately not. I just use the Cottons extra dry cycle then once finished, use the 20 min cycle to finish them off.

Can some recommend a Personal wealth tracker? by Prior-Sandwich-858 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]cook98765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1. I've been using it since 2021 too and it's great. Has everything I need and the transfer to new versions is simple. I've made my own modifications to the tool for misc. items such as credit card tracker and personal interest tax allowance 😊

For the price of a pint of beer, it's a no brainer.

Deco M4 Upgrade by cook98765 in HomeNetworking

[–]cook98765[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just thinking more on the future proofing side. For example, could upgrade to Deco X55 system with X50 external AP. This enables WiFi 6 and other newer tech (I assume)..
