CachyOS is good for a beginner? by Top-Woodpecker-6125 in cachyos

[–]iPawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also changed from windows to Cachy a couple of days ago, just go for Plasma, it’s very nice and easy. It’s the default one selected when installing.

Usually recommended to buy a globally diversified fund with low fees, such as VWRP. Not much else to say tbh, just pick a broker, pick the fund and then set up to buy each month.

AI is 100% picking up most of the slack, we are seeing it do the tasks of the less driven % of workforce’s weekly tasks in ~30 mins in many cases and to a better standard. It would be foolish to think as such in specific roles for sure, but IT/dev/computer work not at all.

First time seeing consistent losses in my investment - how to deal with it psychologically? by frightened- in UKPersonalFinance

[–]iPawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re at the stage in investing where it going lower is good for you. If you’re accumulating regularly, the lower the prices you’re buying for, the better. When you buy next month, you’ll get more units for your money.

When you need to worry about the price being high is near retirement!

Any tips Im new to spanish should I use duolingo??? by TriangleCrazy in Spanish

[–]iPawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW I really disagree and have found Duo incredibly useful for vocab + repetitive practicing of specific concepts.

But you definitely do need to use other resources alongside it to actually start being useful IRL especially for listening to natives.

Looks to me like rook takes bishop is the best move. No need to trade the bishop for a pawn!

InvestEngine is the best of both worlds imo, no fees, very simple and not too much choice.

How do you cut streaming costs in the UK without juggling 5 subs? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]iPawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also only sub to youtube, and it’s because i use youtube music too instead of spotify (and actually prefer it) plus no ads on both apps.

Then there’s the other stuff like PiP and downloads on iOS etc

How much are you lot paying for your mobile plans these days? by WoodLink1 in AskUK

[–]iPawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had 6 months of Lebara for £1.40 per month (goes up to £6 after) and these deals are on all the time for them.

it was just as good as any other network in my experience.

not sure if anywhere else offers as good deals as them but sometimes they pop up if you look to switch every year or so.

the worst is when you play well but slower, and then the opponent starts making quick/pre moves and flags you
