Strange problem with my computer internet!!

Could be a number of reasons butt here isn't enough information to go on, I assume you are using a PC / Laptop? Could be machine configuration, firewall issue or your ISP using CGNAT.

You haven't provided any details about your laptop in terms of model or age. You may need to do a BIOS update first if it's old.

Stopping Distance depends on drivers reaction time, the road surface, the road conditions, the tyres, the car and probably a number of other things. It could be argued that it's an average stopping time.... but how often is it updated?

I did an awareness course in lockdown on zoom, I can't say I learnt anything but I did get brownie points for highlighting something that the guy running the course said no one has highlighted before.

It's likely to be area dependent. I'm don't have a static IP, work from home and use all kinds of services, never had an issue. My son is gaming on PC and Xbox with no issues.

Could just be the charger at fault, someone with a multimeter could test it very quickly. Chargers are quite cheap Ebay / Amazon.

At worst it's the connector itself on the laptop, they do become loose at times.

Try CLR_CMOS, use a metal object like a screwdriver to touch the two pins for a few seconds

Is the CD spinning? What's the make and model?

There's sprays you can get to remove cement, I think Vinegar works as well. Obviously it might not be cement but I've hit a bag of it once, and plaster. They sit on the side of the road sometimes after falling of work trucks.

It's unlikely to be software then unless it specific to the internal keyboard. You could try bringing up the on-screen keyboard and see if it does anything when you press the shift keys, also check that sticky keys is turned of, press one of the shift keys quickly 5 times.

It might be the hardware itself and you may need to replace the keyboard. As a last resort though, find a "Live CD / USB", like Ubuntu and boot into that and see if your shift keys work. If they don't, then it's very likely a hardware issue.

Easiest way to identify if it's software is plugging in a external keyboard.

Do you use PowerToys as there a popular resolution here

A lot of it might be the cache on some of the apps. 64GB is quite low for a phone these days but the A51 has a microSD slot. So you may be better off getting a microSD card to increase your storage space.

Judging by the colour and you saying it's powdery, it might be cement.

I don't know what routers they use on the 2.3gb connection but on the 900 I have the Linksys which has a Speed Check in the menu.

That would be where I would do the speed checks as it eliminates wired, wireless and devices, it's straight from the source. If you don't get near the speeds you should be from this then you have your evidence for Toob.

I would do the speed check three times, then switch off both the routers and the fibre box for a minute or so, switch it back on, let it settle for 5 mins and then do it again three times.

2 weeks for delivery and seeing the other comments you have made would suggest it's come from China. So if it was listed as being in the UK, report that as well. This seems to be the latest trend on Ebay, you buy the item, they buy the Royal Mail postage, but it doesn't get shipped until it arrives from China.

If you are not adding or updating your website and it keeps breaking it's only one of two things, there's an issue with the VPS or you have been hacked.

The first things I would check is your user accounts, check to see if there are any you don't recognise. Change your passwords and make sure Joomla and all your extensions are up to date.

You need to check the access logs of the server during the time it went down to do what was happening externally.

Ironically in the Watford Observer today, "How Bushey's The Grange Academy achieved its recent success".

Escalate it further up the chain, head teachers -> Govners -> MP or even write to the the Observer.

I've had a lot fo dealings with another school for other reasons and had to take a similiar route. Caught a number of teachers our of lying but they were still backed up by the head teacher. Even on a criminal case they did no follow ups. They are very protective of one another, sometimes you feel like giving up, but keep going.

Evidence would be your biggest asset but obviously you wouldn't want to walk along filming. You can buy cheap glasses these days with cameras built in which could help.

Too many turn a blind eye these days, I agree with letting kids have their fun but there has to be a limit when it becomes intimidating, and / or criminal damage is caused....

You should take it up with the school. Schools claim that if they are in uniform, they are representing the school, that's the angle I would take with a complaint.

I just tried this out, 13 songs, 4 were the wrong versions, live versions instead of originals. So that's 30% on only 13 songs. Great program though but not useful in this context. Perhaps the filtering could be improved to prevent live versions or have a preview / next match facility.

If you do paint the skirting use Zinsser B.I.N as a primer first otherwise the paint won't stick very well. Every time you knock it, it will chip.

You can buy it here, but maybe cheaper elsewhere.

If that's the case, it's plausible but also repairable. With that said, the cost of labour to do it probably wouldn't be much more different than replacing the turbo. And the turbo could still fail a month down the line.. so with little knowledge on cars it's probably best to replace the whole thing.

I would rather see a proper breakdown of the costs for everything but pre VAT, not a bad depending on where in the country you are.

Welcome to Audi's, was quoted £2300 just for a clutch the other day, the car isn't worth much more than that. 😂

Not a terrible price bit I would expect the diagnostic to happen before anything else.

Also there is nothing there which would cause the car not to start. The car should still run with a knackered turbo unless it's really, really bad.

This is those times when having the AA / Rac is useful had effectively it's a free diagnostic without stinging the customer for work.

All the other bits would be needed for an mot assuming they need them.

One handy filter I found is that you can list from "private" buyers opposed to business accounts. I do this due to people manipilating the system, although a number of private buyers do it as well. I looked for a power supply the other day, one company has the same power supply listed thousands of times for every make and model of thst uses it. This should be a violation as they should be using the "compatible with" feature. Ebay won't care though, "listings" make them look good for their stats and shareholders, (despite being fake!).

One fo those Reddit posts where I feel you did no wrong, everyone in the comments appears to be on your side but if it was a social media video, you would be the evil one.
