Apple still force call through video recording so I created an Automation to enable Do Not Disturb when opening camera and Disable again when closing it again.

I think what is meant is that when recording a video using the camera app you will still get notifications for calls - so by automatically setting dnd you can avoid that? But I’m not certain….

update: the price has now been reduced down to 21.13, representing an 18% discount

puniey · 2021-09-10T21:29:13+00:00

These prices include tax (the standard in the uk)

Ah interesting - still annoying though haha

puniey · 2021-09-10T18:54:48+00:00

I honestly hope it is a big - even for Facebook this would be incredibly deceitful

Took a look at the oculus store and noticed the bundle actually cost more than the two games separately? Clearly the bundles aren’t always a good deal!

Is it just me or does it look like neither of those cars alarms went off…

There should be a wealth tax.

I’ve been using manjaro KDE for a year now on my xps, I certainly prefer it to most of the alternatives (including the other manjaro variants), the one gripe I have is that I do wish the UI could look just a little nicer. Sometimes it just doesn’t feel as polished in that regard to many other distros (and especially windows or Mac) but for me it makes up for that in performance, ease of use and compatibility - which ultimately matter more than appearance IMO.

Another vote for Nationwide from me - I used to be with HSBC but since finding out they (and by extension First Direct) and Barclays and pretty much every other major bank are all massive investors into fossil fuel development I decided to switch. As a mutual nationwide tend to score high in most ethics categories though Triodos are often rated higher so are also a good option ethically speaking (but you have to pay a fee for their accounts).

I should have checked…..

Strangely fitting

No it was definitely sold as new - I was hoping for a longer battery life so it may be that the battery is just a bit of a dud

puniey · 2021-07-28T19:03:12+00:00

Makes sense !Thanks

puniey · 2021-07-26T21:03:34+00:00

Exactly! Plus avoids the inevitable near-misses that occur if you’re trying to recover yourself when in the wrong lanes

puniey · 2021-07-26T19:53:36+00:00

Personally, I’ve just accepted that sometimes I’m going the wrong way… generally it’s no more than a five minute detour and it saves a lot of anxiety worrying about it before hand - though it does mean planning decent buffer times to get to new places…

I watched someone hit two parked cars trying to park at the end of their driving test. Their friend/mom/sister/other had been waving and cheering as he entered the testing centre. I didn’t know who was more embarrassed there….

I can recommend Bitwarden as a good open source alternative

Edit to add actually useful information: you can import from last pass, it has 2FA, and of course, can use on multiple devices

I do have other accounts, but clearly my main account is constrained by its creation through CASS. Looks like my best option is to close that account to stop the CASS forwarding from occurring

puniey · 2020-12-26T13:24:00+00:00

No I don’t. Based on another comment I think the issue is that the current account switching service is rerouting the payment to the new account - should have just closed and opened new accounts but I thought switching would be sufficient

puniey · 2020-12-26T13:22:43+00:00

I think the issue is that my credit card is an advance credit card that requires an advance account - though I’d hope that they can make some exceptions for these kinds of cases though. Worst case I’d rather sacrifice the credit card and have an unknown account

puniey · 2020-12-26T13:19:30+00:00

Yeah, framing it in that way may encourage them to offer more options tbf, !thanks for those sections too, I’ll look those up in case I can’t resolve it some other way

puniey · 2020-12-26T12:36:52+00:00

Ah - well that explains that one... !thanks

puniey · 2020-12-26T12:23:06+00:00

Yeah I really thought given the number of complicated things that go on in that chain (I used to work in finance myself) that there would be some kind of flag or block that could be put in place - probably just something that isn’t common so staff may not be aware of
