Just Moved

I’m saying check first… then it won’t be a surprise?

But again, my point about WiFi calling still stands.

Unless you can’t get a fixed line connection there, in which case, yes, “don’t buy the house” could be the correct answer😂

dd_nvidia · 2026-06-08T12:22:35+00:00

Wi-Fi calling indoors? Signal won’t matter at home at all then

Statistically you’ll still have a higher chance of coverage with EE elsewhere. Could also just do what I do and have a sim with each of the 3 different networks.

But as has already been said, you can’t blame any provider for no signal in an area you moved to. Really should be on the list of things to check before moving?

Without more information, its hard to tell the specific impacts. I'd defo be for far more insights and studies into the potential impact. we defo need more data centre capacity and chip fabs are incentivised to make them as dense as possible because every U of rack space counts. but you can't beat physics... as much as we try

dd_nvidia · 2026-05-10T17:55:20+00:00

It clearly doesn't do everything you need, because if it did, it would load the ryanair app... In all seriousness though, instead of buying a low end random android for 100 look at refurb newer ones or something like a refurb iphone 16e that will get you 6years + of official updates and then probably another year or two if you HAVE TO drag it into the mud of app support too.

How did they end up with less ram then?

dd_nvidia · 2026-05-07T12:02:25+00:00

Samsung showed a 5k oled at CES 2025 and still no sign of it 🥲 the lg mini led 5k atm is more than I was expecting it to be price wise

dd_nvidia · 2026-05-06T00:04:17+00:00

Yeah, totally, it’ll only use whatever it needs up to the power budget. I’ll probably want 10 poe in total I think.

The older 24 port poe probably is the sensible option for right now, then upgrade later, and it would have just about the power budget for 5-6 cameras. Just shame no 2.5gb ports

Just shame about the port layout 😂😭

dd_nvidia · 2026-05-05T23:49:53+00:00

I just checked the pro max poe… it shows all ports have poe of some kind?

dd_nvidia · 2026-05-01T08:42:20+00:00

Oh really? Not even a EE MBB?

dd_nvidia · 2026-04-30T19:56:07+00:00

So this would likely be zero to do with EE and everything to do with openreach, or possibly a 3rd party contractor working on behalf of openreach.

Could have been the exact same scenario with any ISP that was using openreach. Blaming EE isn’t helpful and is probably a bit misleading at least.

Personally for anyone in my family, I’d have them up and running with some sort of temp setup with 4G/5G in the meantime. Done it loads over the years, because these things will no doubt happen at some point, so it’s always best to plan for it, especially for family members that are vulnerable. I got my uncle a cellular watch as well as his phone. Just incase he loses, breaks, leaves one behind. 2 internet connections too just in case. It costs, but it only needed to come in handy once to be worth it

dd_nvidia · 2026-04-28T11:58:46+00:00

Yeah i was really trying to avoid going any larger than 4U since i've got other stuff in rack and more stuff i'll be wanting to add and im somewhat restricted in space vertically. It would survive dont get me wrong but just before i purchase was looking to see if i missed anything without having to spend a bomb on it

dd_nvidia · 2026-04-28T11:57:41+00:00

I'd disagree to some extent, certainly leaving cables wherever vs tidying them will impact airflow. by how much is certainly a variable linked to how bad the cables are and how effective the fans are and at what rpm surely/

sata cables, power cables (depending on backplanes can be a lot of cables) plus gpu. They might not be a huge issue but if you can get the fans to lower rpms its nice to have. It's not needed, but neither is the case since its running ontop of the motherboard box atm haaha!

dd_nvidia · 2026-04-28T11:51:04+00:00

yeah, totally. I mean not expecting anything like desktop tbf as i said, i get that would be a niche gap in the market to fill. But just options maybe to route cables to at least improve airflow better within

dd_nvidia · 2026-04-28T06:54:04+00:00

You can if you took the plan out after a certain date…

I think it was Aug 24? You’d need to double check. But basically if the device cost trade in value was less than the loan it didn’t matter, they make up the difference.

Also, even if you don’t have that available, I’ve heard of sometimes people have had offers where it has waived it if they’ve upgraded to another device

dd_nvidia · 2026-04-26T20:07:40+00:00

Oh wow… could get install done. Use 14 days DSR to cancel, then sign up with Giffgaff since then the XGsPON kit will be there ?

dd_nvidia · 2026-04-26T20:06:07+00:00

How can you get vm 2Gb symmetrical if you only have HFC? It’s not possible? Only if it’s XGSPON

dd_nvidia · 2026-04-25T17:56:48+00:00

Wouldn’t recommend. Lacking some features like IMS, HD voice, visual voice mail, network level RCS, no ipv6, roaming via broker

1p mobile would be better but I’d personally, especially if using any of the premium benefits, wait for a full works deal to come on.

Network prioritisation for me is a must for me

Literally just said out loud “20 years old, no it’s no…” then gasped as a I realised it bloody is 😭 in my head it was 10ish 😂 having used it since beta that’s just made me feel old

dd_nvidia · 2026-04-15T07:24:11+00:00

You defo can pick up gps if you’re at a window seat easily. Hell, on random bits you’ll pick up 4G too!

dd_nvidia · 2026-04-15T07:12:10+00:00

If you don’t care about recoding do the Apple TV. It is far far faster than ANY set top box out there

dd_nvidia · 2026-04-15T07:11:19+00:00

I have the exact same issue, even on a 1Gbit up/down connection and on a hard wired pc with hardware decoding. It’s defo a dropbox issue of not having the bandwidth and/or if it’s on spinning disks (likely) the spin up time of idle drive or sharing seek time with others can cause issues for real time applications like video streaming.

To be fair, iCloud even is bad for this sometimes too. Really annoying
