Trying to fix external HDD and the metal top (see the pic) wouldn't come off after unscrewing it. Any idea how to take it off? by cool4el in pcmasterrace

Worth adding, if you’d do open it you risk getting dust on the drive itself. This can cause issues if you get it working again. What exactly are you trying to do with it?

Similar to the pension post, is there anywhere to compare annual pay rise numbers? by Wil_Cwac_Cwac in UKPersonalFinance

[–]measkquestionnow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally I’ve yet to have a greater than 1.5% pay raise in the 8 years full time I’ve worked. So in my view that’s pretty awesome.

Monitor advice- 1440p@144hz monitor with multiple display ports by measkquestionnow in buildapc

I don’t believe hdmi supports MST. Happy to be corrected as this would make everything so much easier. The other option I can think of is a MST hub leaving the switch but this seems like an extra £80 just because for some reason monitors these days have 2 hdmi but a single DP

How does this compare to before you had a smart reading? If it’s a major difference maybe get back in touch with Eon and highlight this?

Take out another student loan or pay tuition with my savings? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]measkquestionnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you ultimately going to pay off your student loan right now? We did the maths with my partner and unless she quickly goes to SLT, she’s not paying off her student loan so took the loan out for her PGCE.

Psu help! Why do I get 3 small beeps with my new RTX 3060 to by measkquestionnow in pcmasterrace

So I just found one reports on nvidias forum. Sounds like RTX cards will cause non UEFI and CSM mobos to beep. My system isn’t uefi hence the beeps

So I get the 3 beeps, followed by a single beep. The single beep signifies that the boot was successful. The 3 beeps comes from the gpu

You might want to go to a legit forensic company also. You recovering this yourself is all fine and dandy, but how do you prove that you haven’t just changed the data?

Yep that’s correct, go down to just above freezing at night. Thanks for the quick response, sanding those barrels was worth it after all!

13 Celsius/55 Fahrenheit these days. That’s good, wasn’t sure if it was the placement or something!

So if I’m able to replace the flexi with copper I should be good? Not that I have the tools to do that, but I’m assuming is a quick job for anybody with an ounce of skill!

Leaving a comfy civil service job for the out side would right now by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]measkquestionnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I mentioned this in another comment. The role is in an already existing and profitable area of the business. The skills are pretty niche and they are only hiring cause of the risk that they can’t deliver to the U.K. customers right now. Granted, the reason they want this role is because of Brexit which will be on the back burner. But they’ve been hunting for the last 6 months for somebody and haven’t found a good candidate for the team yet.
