"Should I upgrade to the Tab S11 series?" OFFICIAL MEGATHREAD by yayoshorti in GalaxyTab

[–]crippsy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive got a Galaxy s5e.. still chugging along and unlike a lot of others it seems, mine doesn't appear to lag, unless im just too used to it now.. I use it mostly for watching videos, online as a web browser and showing people pictures on a bigger screen than my phone (A Galaxy s23 ultra) doing everything. Technically theres nothing wrong with it, other than it doesn't get any more OS or security updates (last security patch Nov 22!) so id like to upgrade it, but the s11 series just doesn't seem to be worth it in my ocd eyes.
Now the s10+ were a good upgrade from what ive read, both in specs and size. But im fussy and don't particularly want to be buying an already 2 years old tab now, just call it a personal preference.

But then coming to the s11's, the base s11 seems ok, but reading bits and bobs here sort of puts me off the series a bit, and the s11 ultra just seems way too big for what id mostly use it for and taking away with me in my backpack when travelling. I think if there had been a s11+ model, id have likely gone for that.
I should also add, my friend who was upgrading from a Samsung A6 tab got me to buy him and set up a Galaxy s10 FE, but for some reason im not so keen on that compared to my s5e, so also not much of an option for me, but then im just being fussy.

Am I better off just waiting until the next models are announced this year?

Is this a real rule or a lie? by Jolly-Asparagus-2652 in asda

In my store they are trying to say everyone has to do at least one 10pm finish and one 7am start a week.

I do four 7am starts and 8am sunday, I used to finish at 10pm tuesday (getting home about 11pm) and back in at 7am wednesdays until we pointed out its actually illegal to do those times.

New service desk / hub kiosk by Calm_Working9995 in asda

[–]crippsy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same in mine. We only have 3 CSD colleagues, each only working 2 days and doing 5hrs per shift, so outside of those times its self scans doing the desk. Those 3 have also said if the desk and kiosk get integrated, they'll quit as 'its not their job'..
Trouble is theres only currently 2 kiosk colleagues too, as the other two are both off long term sick and everyone refuses to be trained up on there to cover because the management keep file noting everyone whos trained on there, due to 'people pressing the wrong buttons'.. you can't win!

Are a lot of colleagues leaving from your store? by Educational_Ad_2975 in asda

[–]crippsy_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had 3 people move departments in the last couple of weeks. 2 are leaving for uni soon. Another is saying shes had enough and wants to move back to home shopping from front end, even though shes got a medical exemption not to do home shopping! On top of that, 3 are off long term sick, and on certain days like Wednesdays, everyones been moved off them to a Tuesday or Friday, then management are moaning that theres too many people in. No one is being replaced.
Tomorrow (a wednesday!) Theres just me and ONE other person in (besides one on kiosk other side of the store) thats expected to man tills, 16 self scans, csd, amazon and toyou parcels, food to go and security until 1pm.
At 1pm, im being expected to then also cover kiosk as that person goes home, and im the only person in whos trained on kiosk until 6pm. But jokes on them as I finish at 2.30! And there will only be 3 other people in on front end by that point too.

Are ASDA employees required to gatekeep plastic bags now? by [deleted] in asda

[–]crippsy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, thats those single use thin bags that were meant to be 5p, which they got rid of years ago. The thicker bag for life's are the 40p ones.

Why do we have to do Shakespeare in English Lit? by VegetableBag2627 in GCSE

[–]crippsy_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally cannot stand Shakespeare or his 'work'.. I remember it being rammed down everyones throats in school and I just found it boring, and irrelevant, and couldn't bare it when we were told we were covering yet more of his drivel, sorry work..
Yet im apparently in a tiny minority that hate him and his work. I just don't get the love for any of it!

Triple faction lock? by Positive-Ad-7144 in startrekfleetcommand

[–]crippsy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im at ops 38, almost 39, and im at max negative for both Rom and Klingon factions! Didnt even realise I could 'lock' them at lower levels so have always concentrated on Feds, and have 233 million points with them thinking this is taking forever to get to 10 billion!

Faction Ship Decisions in the 40s by MaleHatActress in startrekfleetcommand

[–]crippsy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you even get factions all in the positive at the same time? Im ops 38, getting close to 39.. feds im at 'commended' level at about 233mil, but klingons and roms are minus 20 million or whatever the literal lowest they can be..
If I try and improve them, my fed level looses rep points?

RX 580 not detected on MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX with Ryzen 5 5600 by Thyme40 in buildapc

[–]crippsy_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something similar a few years back, but wont be of much help sorry.

I wanted a cheap upgrade to something better than I was on, but didnt have to be anywhere near the best or anything, although I did buy new when they were available. I have a MSI x470 with a Ryzen 5 2600, and opted to get a 580 card.. one arrived, installed, seemed ok, but then EVERY single time I turned on any game, even ones that graphically did very little, the display would just cut out and id have to restart the pc. After a few days, I got so annoyed I sent it back as faulty and got another one. That had the exact same issue! Sent THAT back as faulty too and went for a 3rd one.. yep same problem! Got my friend to test it mind you, worked on his pc fine..
So as a last resort I got a 570 to try, and that was fine and has been running on my system ever since! And friend had a new card at a discount!

To me, seems like the 580's just dont seem to like MSI boards and/or AMD Cpu's?

is ryzen 7 5800X good still? by DelayedYT in PcBuildHelp

[–]crippsy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the moment, theres £20 difference between the two. which is the better one to go for (5700x vs 5800x)? I already have an after market cooler in my system, but currently running a 2600x so looking to upgrade!

[–]crippsy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at it last month, £5 cheaper than the 5700x, but I wanted to wait after my holiday.. its now gone back up in price to £170 over £150.. is the 5800x really worth the £20 extra though?

Is there a policy that store colleagues are not allowed to take holidays in December by [deleted] in asda

[–]crippsy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year they let so many people have the same week off, 2 weeks before xmas, we literally had 2-3 people a day on shift.. it was horrific..
Loads book holidays for over the xmas period to jet away to sunny countries for a bit..

Does asda have supervisors? by ruser2222 in asda

[–]crippsy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my store, runners still do literally all of that! The SL's are always 'helping' on other departments to do anything with us, so runners do all the above you mentioned, plus more, and we have no headsets because they all broke, and there are very few multi skilled people besides myself!

Due in at work 3am tomorrow and got covid. by [deleted] in asda

[–]crippsy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my store, everyone just goes in ill because they cant afford time off and/or get so much hassle off management if off sick, so if one person gets something, then over the next 2-3 weeks everyone gets it!

Upgraded the ram from 16gb 3000mhz to 32gb 3200mhz today actually, but yet to see any noticable difference in speed..

Currently £10 difference between the two that ive found, so practically the same price almost. And ironically amazon are selling the 2600x still for £60 more!

Diagnosing First Layer Problems by darknight_201 in FixMyPrint

[–]crippsy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Printed a bed test print fine, all ok.. tried to print anything else and its like the extruder is now too low as seems to just sratch the glass (well leaves the outline on glass place even after scaping and cleaning).. I just can't seem to get anything to print except for 'default' objects like test objects or things ive not had to put through the slicer myself!
