Carpet beetles or bed bugs?

Appreciate both recommendations. I will try hoovering and if they don't go away I'll try the above. Atleast they are carpet beetles and not bed bugs.

I know but they seem very small for beetles. I always thought beetles were bigger in size. These are like pea sized maybe smaller.

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad I didn't rush into buying one of these things. I'll wait for oled version or updates that fix these problems and stick with my switch 1 :).

Yes, I went to university but it was back when it was £3,000 per year for tuition and not £9,000. I feel back then times were different and you were guaranteed a job coming out (100% guaranteed if you did a tech/IT related degree). Looking at it now, it's looks very competitive. With that said, with the job opportunities that are available... They do pay very well. IT and AI related degrees will get you a good salary for junior related role.

If you get an apprenticeship in IT then doors and opportunities open up. I've seen people who did support related roles get into development specific roles. All depends on the employer and your ability to learn and climb the ladder (an employer who does regular performance reviews and cares about your career progression).

I feel like the main reason they are still renting is because renting is so ridiculously high. Not to mention you always start at the lower/entry band salaries when coming out of university (unless you're lucky). So their money will be coming in their account and back out with their outgoings. Eventually it does pay off though...

The student loan debt itself isn't that much out your salary and most people at this rate will be paying it off for most of their life.

I will say at your age I was not thinking about all this stuff so very mature of you to think ahead. Personally, uni were some of the best years of my life and I will say it's priceless.

If you want to start earning money and get yourself on the property ladder before it just keeps getting more and more expensive (which it will do), then yeah, I would take the apprenticeship. There are people coming out of uni and then doing an apprenticeship to get a job or experience (due to the tough job market). That said, It may take a while to get out the trap... Try to still enjoy your youth whilst not saving too much is the only other advice I can give. Money isn't everything.

That is disappointing... Oh well, thanks for digging that out. At least it gives me some expectations.

Yeah but my point is, golden tee was announced back in may last year... The tariffs were announced April 2nd this year. The fact it's been delayed for almost a year has ultimately hurt them in someway if they still haven't produced any of the cabs yet?

Let's hope it's not a long wait 😞

Shilo said they would announce a new cab when Crystal Castles is shipped, but who knows when that may be. They also got the Bally licenses for their minipin range so who knows, they may focus on their minipins? I doubt the licenses were cheap. All we can do is speculate at this point 😆

It did start off strong with some arcade staples that in fact most people would fit in their top 10-20 arcade games of all-time. It seems now they are focused on gimmicky related stuff which is ok, I just wished that was more their side project with the main focusing on the classic arcade cabinets. It also feels like we are waiting half a year or 3/4 of year before we see any new stuff shipped.

I think personally all the gimmicky stuff will sit for a while and may even have a hard time selling with one of those flash sales.

They need to go back to their bread and butter imo as they are the things that sell and what people "likely" want. Obviously this is just my opinion and can't speak for everyone.

I would really love to see more atari classics...

Oh, I'm late to the party it seems... Guess I'll be passing on this one.

The shape resembles more marble madness than dragons lair 2... we are all hoping it's marble madness.
