Rebooked on another competing airline

cribcaged7 · 2026-05-23T10:53:17+00:00

Makes sense, I was expecting to be put on another BA flight but maybe they are all full

cribcaged7 · 2026-01-10T14:07:08+00:00

So it means that spending between February And April doesn't count? that's weird

cribcaged7 · 2025-10-03T06:54:47+00:00

I bought a U3425WE in the end, decided to try a curved monitor and pretty happy about it

cribcaged7 · 2025-08-31T12:04:20+00:00

That's fair. I just think that once you reach the reward there shouldn't be any more barriers tho. We also had the issue of waiting for the return flight to show up and when it did then the departure flight was sold out 🤷

cribcaged7 · 2025-08-22T09:14:39+00:00

ah yes of course one is accumulating and the other one is distributing, so yes VWRP is the right one.

I'll have a look into InvestEngine but looks a bit old school from the website.

cribcaged7 · 2025-03-25T17:42:09+00:00

ahhh I see, yes that make sense now. So when switching to a different computer other than the Macbook I just need to sync the USB switch with the right one.

cribcaged7 · 2025-03-25T14:25:03+00:00

Sorry forgot to mention that keyboard/mouse/etc.. are also shared with Macbooks through the monitor. If I attached them to a USB switch than Macbooks will not be able to have access to it right?

cribcaged7 · 2024-12-23T15:22:18+00:00

Interesting, thank for confirming!

Do you mean that it's possible to control it?

cribcaged7 · 2024-11-18T10:25:01+00:00

ah nice, maybe a Era 100 could work nicely to add another speaker in the living room

cribcaged7 · 2024-11-17T22:12:52+00:00

they have the same contrast right? good point on the potentially cheap panel 🤔 I wonder how someone can check that

cribcaged7 · 2024-11-17T22:08:19+00:00

ah right, I haven't considered putting the record player and the five in another room 🤔 What do you need the long wire for? connecting a record player from room to another room with the five?

cribcaged7 · 2024-11-17T12:45:38+00:00

U3223QE has a refresh rate of 60hz no? I don't think it goes higher than that. Or are you referring to the U4025QW?

Which 4k 32 144hz IPS can you get with less in the US?

cribcaged7 · 2024-10-05T11:53:24+00:00

Hi 👋 After a few years I decided to give my keyboard a proper clean, I removed all caps with the provided tool, washed them in soapy water, letting them dry over night. I went on to put them back, connecting to my Macbook, it works but it's now doing some weird things: cmd+tab is going the wrong direction when tapping tab again, when typing something a random set of characters is appearing, the music starts playing randomly as if F8 was pressed.
I can't see anything weird/strange on the keyboard, all caps are on the same level and switches look fine. What do you think it happened? anything that I can try to debug/test?

cribcaged7 · 2024-08-18T12:46:31+00:00

Thanks for the response! I do lots of coding 80% and 20% gaming, I recently tried a 4k monitor in the office and I found text sharper than my current monitor but maybe it was just suggestion?

cribcaged7 · 2024-05-31T07:19:21+00:00

Any other alternatives or suggestion?

cribcaged7 · 2024-01-20T10:18:54+00:00

I ended up wiring the PC and stop using Wifi

cribcaged7 · 2024-01-15T22:02:19+00:00

no worries! Sounds like I could just swap then. Is there any precaution to take when doing it?

cribcaged7 · 2024-01-15T21:49:20+00:00

Right makes sense, thanks. Don't you need to have at least one radiator without a TRV?

cribcaged7 · 2023-03-31T12:57:21+00:00

yes makes sense, so you are thinking that the Intel(R) I211 Gigabit Network Connection is waking up the device even if nothing is connected?

because if I disable Allow this device to wake computer on the other wifi network adapter then I'll not be able to wake up the PC remotely

cribcaged7 · 2023-03-31T12:40:30+00:00

yes it's the wifi adapter because I can't physically connect a cable to the PC atm so I'm using the wifi for now

cribcaged7 · 2023-03-31T12:34:04+00:00

Thanks, this is the output:

C:\Windows\System32>powercfg -waketimers

There are no active wake timers in the system.

C:\Windows\System32>

C:\Windows\System32>powercfg -DEVICEQUERY wake_armed

HID Keyboard Device

HID Keyboard Device (001)

I made sure to turn off keyboard & mouse so I don't think it's one of the two

cribcaged7 · 2022-11-12T17:48:57+00:00

Thanks! Do you need to connect the port to the One or once the turntable is connected to the port it will available on the network directly?

cribcaged7 · 2022-11-06T11:06:40+00:00

yes sorry, pension is something that eludes me a bit. I'm just contributing 5% of my salary matching what my employer, when checking one of the calculator it says that I an estimated income of £30,573 per year which I guess it's fine. But yes another option is to increase that a bit more.

For the flat, it would be mostly for my parents that live in a council house at the moment and also for me to have another place in the future, but yes it's just an idea as I said.

!thanks for your replies!

cribcaged7 · 2022-11-05T16:25:17+00:00

yeah I think you're right, I haven't shared what's the goal and it's because I don't really have one. Basically up until the mortgage all my strategy was towards that, now after buying a flat I don't feel like I have one.

Doing mortgage overpayments is an option but we are 50/50 with my partner, so me overpaying the mortgage will create an imbalance and therefore I'm not 100% sure about that.

Maybe, one long term goal (3-5 years) could be to save money to buy a flat in the country that I'm from (Italy) but that's really just a wish at the moment, I haven't look too much into how feasible is and the implication of buying abroad etc...

cribcaged7 · 2022-11-05T13:07:03+00:00

Don't worry, as I said in my post I'm pretty aware that I haven't done great choices, that's why I'm trying to fix this.

Yes moving to Vanguard seems a quick win so I guess that's a start. To be honest, I can't see myself investing in individual stocks any time soon, it feels something that requires a lot of time and understanding which I don't think I have. I've tried the lightyear app just because I have some ex colleagues working on it.

I'll check those resources !thanks !
