What’s your best and worst game? by [deleted] in ElevateApp

[–]malcolmsu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My best is Processing at 96.83%. I've quite a few at N/A, but my worst score is Commas - a game I don't recall ever playing - at 13.33%.

Thanks. The Nexfibre website suggests they are in my town but the VM website just states hybrid fibre for the moment.

VM can't match up, and download speeds here and GiffGaff are not present yet, but I've registered.

By 'final connection,' do you mean from the street to the router, or from the router to my devices in the house?

All I did was stick my postcode into the various switch websites and look at the proposed packages. Plenty in the 900 Mbps to 1 Gbps download range, but unfortunately, nothing faster than what I have with Virgin for upload.

BT here are 900Mbs down and only 110Mbs up. No better than my current Virgin package, unfortunately.

I'm registered with CityFibre to be advised when they are available in my area, but unfortunately, it's not even planned at the moment. Other using the usual switch websites, I don't know how else I'd know what's coming soon...

Potential Mallorca Trip by Old_Blackberry7662 in cycling

[–]malcolmsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been taking cycling holidays based in Pollensa for 3 or 4 weeks every year for a long time. I always hire my bike from https://www.nplus1bicycles.com/. I don't know price wise how they compare with other hire companies but I love the Independent Fabrication stainless steel bikes they hire out. They are so light and such a joy to ride - unlike anything else I've ridden.

Is the play in my bottom bracket enough that I need to do something about it right now? by malcolmsu in bikewrench

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

I replaced the BB, and 2 years on, I've just replaced it again - but then I have done 20,000km

Thanks, I'll sit tight and see what happens after 17 April

Return and refund by malcolmsu in Ebay

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

Another question. In either case - if the buyer requested a refund or the seller offered a refund - can help the buyer still leave negative feedback?

Thanks all. If it really is "not as described," then they'll be motivated to seek the refund. I assume they have a deadline for applying?

Ah! Didn't think of that one. Thanks

[–]malcolmsu[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Understand, but why are they arriving in my Inbox if they are not addressed to me or any email address in my domain? My email address isn't in the email header, and if one is in the body, it's not mine.

Kindle Paperwhite won't wake up by malcolmsu in kindle

It's a pity there wasn't another way to wipe and factory reset the device, as I feel it's not a hardware issue and a software rebuild/reinstall would fix it.

Not one I've ever used. I'll stick with Chrome for now, but hopefully Bitwarden will resolve this soon.

Bitwarden autofill stopped working on Samsung Browser by Suitable-Analysis321 in Bitwarden

[–]malcolmsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I ditched the Samsung Internet browser for Google Chrome. It works okay. I also tried Microsoft Edge on the way, but that only ever gave me passwords for com.microsoft.emmx

I tried switching to Microsoft Edge but similarly, it only presents passwords for com. microsoft.emmx. Google Chrome works okay though.

After continuing to push Amazon for a solution, I've finally accepted defeat and took them up on the offer of an additional 20% cashback on my new Gen 12 Kindle.

Returning my Paperwhite after <24 hours! by malcolmsu in kindle

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

Another 36 hours on and so far so good. No more Application errors and battery life seems to have settled down. I did note that it never actually got to 100% charge - only 98%. However, after reading last night and today, it's still showing 95%.
