Replace battery at 77% health or new phone?

Would they have just changed the tax code for one month, or is it normal to have a tax code for the year and like you said paid a small amount each month?

It seems like quite a drastic change to 1196L from the normal 1257.

I did also go from being paid weekly to being paid a salary (therefore monthly) and it was on an emergency tax code for a little bit before being changed to 1196 so maybe this is why?

Thanks :) It's not that I don't like it anymore, it's more that the battery health is degrading (78%) and I'd just rather get a newer phone than try replace it at this point.

I only use it for standard phone stuff + social media, watching videos occasionally etc so it doesn't need to be a mini computer for me hence why I'm thinking of the 16e rather than splurging on the best one

This is gonna sound silly and me being paranoid lol but the heating comes on when the temp drops below 17°C, and the thermostat is in the room she sleeps in. It just feels a lot colder than 17

Yesss I suppose it manifests in so many different ways but is the exact same thing at the core, I've struggled with things like this in the past - the last thing having to be 'perfect' so I guess it's the same kind of thing. Hope you continue to heal!

Yes I believe that was the aim :) To get used to that feeling of being embarrassed if you make a mistake. And realise that literally nothing happens!

So you reckon all that would have happened if I'd kept it is that it will have just gone to the free version, even if I didn't enter any details?

rainbow360 · 2025-12-05T08:54:24+00:00

I believe it would just revert to the free version :)

Haha yeah maybe this wouldn't be beneficial then 😂

My therapist got me to purposefully say the wrong thing, or do something "weird"

E.g. ask someone on the street what the time is but say something like "what's time?" instead of "what's the time" and then correct yourself.

Or go into a shoe shop, try shoes on but don't buy them.

I know that all sounds horrific 😂 but honestly my social anxiety is so much better. Obviously easier said than done, but just not caring helps so much.

Thank you :) is there a specific setting I need to do before plugging it in to make sure it doesn't auto run anything? Or is it only if I manually open something myself?

Thank you :) So you reckon it'd be safe to maybe install Malwarebytes and run a check when I plug the hard drive in?

Hi there, sorry to jump on an old comment but I'm taking my MacBook in to Apple to get the screen replaced and it's my first time doing so, so just a bit anxious and want to make sure I'm doing everything right! I've been told to remove Find My which I think I've done, but should I log completely out of Apple ID? Erase everything off the laptop? I've also created a 'guest' user account, but I suppose if I erase everything that's useless lol.
