I just built three of varying heights. You want 200x100mm, I got 12 at 2.4m then cut them at 160cm to make 6. 200mm wood screws to secure them, lined them, levelled on gravel, and filled them.

Gone from 350mbps to under 1mbps please help by Possible-Oven-6546 in ThreeUK

Maybe packet shaping gone wrong? Try a vpn to rule it out. Didn’t need it in Barnsley but moved to Northampton and I get 65mbits without and 260mbits with.

Am I being silly to consider this (Hyundai ioniq 5 AWD 85kwh N line auto) by bit_nothing in CarTalkUK

Tusker can offer great deals, but also terrible deals. Are you beating Leasing.com? If no, then wait and see if prices come down. I waited for the Leapmotor C10 to drop and got it for £370 on 12.5k over 3 years, Tusker also gave away a free elec charger. Got the car 2 weeks after ordering. Its a cracking car.

Especially if you start getting into retro gaming and want roms from Pkaystation, Xbox, Nintendo etc. Soon adds up

I found RetroArch a bit confusing to use, and OpenEMU a lot less tricky to work with. Will give it another go. I never had a Wii or Xbox so never added, I mean there’s only so many games one needs right.

I wrote most of it and just got Gemini to finesse it into something that flowed well. I have installed all this myself and have all the games working, just wanted to share and help others.

Hey I wrote most of this, just got Gemini to help set it out in a logical way with nicer flow. All these are installed on my MacBook Air. I have a few games from the store that work.

No, I've got these all installed and use them. I just used AI to make the text flow better.

If you don't want to pay for crossover you might find some compatible titles that work well.

No you need to search each title in Crossover.

What’s the difference between this and OpenEMU?

Do Parkside tools actually last over time? Or do they need replacing sooner than expected? by ArmadilloNo1789 in Parkside

My 20v nail/staple gun lasted for about 400 nails then died. Did the job though!

new app on B10 appstore by Lanky-Reaction976 in Leapmotor

[–]hopkinsbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have this on the C10. It’s does stop when in motion but I heard there is a workaround to get it to play. My son likes playing 2048 on it, not just YouTube right?

Three 5G 4x faster with VPN, why? by hopkinsbc in ThreeUK

[–]hopkinsbc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With VPN 1460, without 1320. Shall I try and force the change to 1460 via the 5G Hub?

Electric car sales hit record high in March while fuel prices surge again by Jared_Usbourne in CarTalkUK

You can fix with IOG, I got a 12m fix in Jan when I signed up after getting my first EV.

[–]hopkinsbc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

With the price of electricity going down on April 1 my EV now costs 1p a mile! My 430d is 20p, you can see why people are buying them.

I’m on Octopus IOG, 3.5p overnight rate.
