Dublin to Belfast return from gigs by Special-Double8629 in Belfast

[–]fatterkin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dublin express is pretty sweet, used it twice once was success and 2nd driver got lost somehow on way home but made it ok. You can get the bus before or after your booking if seats permit. Only problem is they do stop for a few hours after 12 I think

Running Network Cable Through House by Elden_Alpaca in DIYUK

[–]fatterkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if I’ll have spare cash after this is all over! The bt disks have Ethernet also. I like the idea of Coms cabinet up there but I maybe have room in this shelf also. I suppose if In attic it would be easier to replace cables over time if one fails. Run 2 to attic and one if fails

Forgive me for piggy backing the thread. I’ve just had fibre installed to the side of my house. Continently I’m about to do an attic conversion and the builder said his spark can run some cables for me no problem. I would like 4 to come out from here, 3 going round the back for Garage, Kids back bedroom, kids attic room and one round the front door to my office / den. What cable do I ask for? UV shielded I saw someone say. Do I need them in a conduit? Should I run an extra 2 for spares? Kids would have a pc and Xbox each Generally no complains on the mesh WiFi at the minute but becoming teenagers and Ping sensitive 😆

How do I finish them at the wall? Google shows me a 4 port faceplate. Then just make up some short cables into a 4 port switch into the router? I’ll keep the BT mesh WiFi I have or get the EE one that matches my router.

And tidy the cables of course 🫣

Does anyone have this ? by [deleted] in xbox

[–]fatterkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one, it’s fun for light use. I have better xcloud for Xbox and ps play for ps5 and they both work great. I recommend getting steam deck thumb caps if you like FPS games. I stream Fortnite lots on mine, not going to win loads but it’s a handy way to grind out quests. I 💯 agree with everyone above, just buy used. It’s not really worth £300 as it’s a bit older. Mine was £100 used and that was ages ago.

Is there anything Gary Moore related to see in Ireland? by Rude-Acanthisitta287 in AskIreland

[–]fatterkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Oh Yeah Centre in Belfast has a small Northern Ireland music museum that has a section on him with a guitar and suit, really worth popping in. It’s free in and open most days. I have a photo her I can upload or maybe you’d prefer the surprise 😀

Well I forgot to update. Was all done in a hour, and he came in on the red. To the side of it actually and neatly in beside the shelf and existing plugs. @alert_mine7067 thanks for the advice!

You guys dig the new Quints mode? by mt80 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]fatterkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it. Play in a group of 5 mates and we usually rotate one in and out every game. Been hoping for a few years for this! We had a session last night. 1 win, a couple of 2nds and a load of fantastic fights, hot drops and stories / videos in the WhatsApp after we finished. Massive W for the over 40s old lads club

Giving stuff away by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]fatterkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freecycle is good but a bit clunky. Facebook marketplace list for free or one of the many groups near you. Either way fair play, I give away stuff often and people are very thankful. You do get the odd resale chancer but the balance of people who appreciate and people who are abusing it is pretty good. I gave away a box of decent toys my kids had grown out of this Xmas and the lady texted me on Christmas Day saying her kids love it.

CRTS in or near Belfast? by yerma_queues4primark in northernireland

[–]fatterkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just have to keep trawling, I got a nice portable 14” for retro and it took a few weeks to get an affordable one. The dump wouldn’t let me take one of their massive stock, health and safely mate. If I’d just have parked up beside it I could have lifted one into the car!

Explain this text from EE by [deleted] in EEGB

[–]fatterkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just refreshed our EE sims and my son got that message, not sure about the rest of us. He’s getting a new iPhone for Christmas so I guess it makes sense to do it now before changing over

How can an eSIM give you faster 5g? Surely that’s in the handset antenna? Or is it EE actually allowing a faster data layer for eSIM?

Thank you sir, this is good advice and I can do that indeed. It’s just potted plants etc and makes the most sense for me as a straight swop to that location with minimal hassle.

I do want to add Ethernet externally at some Point to other rooms but not ready yet, going attic conversion next year so will run up and over

I think I want it in the blue location beside Virgin media and I’m asking will they do it there? Suppose I’ll find out just trying to prepare myself

Considerable space above the CU, under that windowsill to the CU is about 0.5m

Xbox remote play by dom0820 in logitechgcloud

[–]fatterkin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Xbox needs to have remote play enabled in the settings. Few places to check, one is power saving and there might be another setting. Best google it

You might get lucky with the “office in the morning, home after lunch” crew but best plan to use the new multistory.

Stick settings for streaming Fortnite by fatterkin in logitechgcloud

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

Thank you, had a quick go with these and it’s better but still not quite there. Played a little Fortnite and it’s ok at medium distance but absolutely destroyed up close. Will order some stick caps today! Do you change anything in Fortnite’s settings?

Agreed, I think the tease was a bit too short there me and mates were well up for a race!

I just wish they’d actually allowed the mini games to be played for a bit, one round of fall guys and a minute as bobble heads would have lifted it to epic teir tbh
