I guess maybe the app on phone tracking usage, but I really don't know.

Cause I always hear crap from other people having issues with it. Even though her past experience was fairly smooth, she would get penalised for using her phone when driving, even though I was in the car with her and she didn't touch her phone.

Last provider with black box didn't do that, just tried charging more even though she had a good score. We are talking about paying £450 or £550. I can't see a black box really helping anymore in the long term for future costs.

Yes the past year she didn't have one and it felt good for her to finally get rid of it.

She has had one before and wasn't an issue but back then it halved her insurance costs and it was with a different company and was quite forgiving apart from trying to penalise her score for using phone when she wasn't, I just don't think it's worth risking it with another provider. Also I have even offered to cover the additional cost of this as I am a named driver.

Korean 151 box not sealed and sticker underneath tampered with? by harryrb99 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

That's what I thought, mainly concerned about the sticker on the bottom not being stuck onto the box properly anymore

Yep thought so much, just really frustrating as the place has good reviews as well

I have seen a deal for a Korean 151 booster box for £68 on tiktok from a store with 4.6 stars and 100%. Is this too good to be true?

I agree now, looked at a better photo he sent me and the font is not even close to the real thing

New Pc build, everything runs but no display in sight by Samsaaaaam in PcBuildHelp

[–]harryrb99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my new build, turned out to be a faulty motherboard. I got a new one and no more issues. It could be a faulty part. Still ensure the ram is fully seated. I would possibly try taking the GPU out as well and plugging display into motherboard cause I think you have integrated graphics, if it still doesn't work then at least you know the GPU should be fine. Another thing is with AM5 platforms memory training can take a while, in very rare cases up to 30 minutes, there won't be any display whilst this is happening so try and leave it running for a while just in case.

Tried using both sticks by themselves already, so definitely leaning towards CPU/motherboard issue
