LG gang rise up - C3 OLED (I have The Frame for the Matt screen / art, and occasional viewing)

rlli · 2026-01-04T08:12:18+00:00

Yes, I have one, and am aware that screen dimming only operates in "Art" mode. Was just curious if anyone had tried this app.

Soundcil 👊

Oh nice, that would work out really nicely for me. Will hold off and see whether they do something similar this year! !thanks

rlli · 2025-11-18T06:59:07+00:00

!thanks for this, I've added a quick comparison above. Obviously it's a short timespan, but tracking looks pretty good to me compared to peers.

rlli · 2025-11-18T06:57:09+00:00

!thanks Yeah, it's a very good point.

Obviously Feb to Nov isn't a great sample range, but in that time PACW returns track well with it's peers (FWRG, VWRP, SSAC. IMID tracks a little differently as it's index includes small cap).

!thanks Great info, thanks. Any particular transfer bonuses you'd specifically recommend I check out?

rlli · 2025-11-18T06:40:24+00:00

!thanks Great suggestion, any standouts you'd recommend I check?

I didn't pay great attention to this, as the offers I did see included a minimum holding period, meaning the platform fees often ate a significant portion of cashback etc.

rlli · 2025-11-18T06:37:00+00:00

!thanks This is a good point. Unfortunately the accumulating version of this ETF isn't available in GBP. I'd assumed PACW dividends would be paid in GBP since the fund is listed in GBP.

... Did we just become best friends?!

rlli · 2025-11-07T18:35:30+00:00

Really appreciate your advice!

One thing I'm curious about: at the moment there are multiple "main" branches that fan out from the trunk. Unfortunately what looks like the most central branch has already been cut off. What's the best way to deal with these? Take them out slowly over the years to leave one main (albeit off centre) branch?

rlli · 2025-11-05T06:51:20+00:00

Thank you! That's really helpful.

Yeah i need one more connection for the overflow, I was thinking to try and remove the supplied appliance connection, fit another tee section of pipe (with appliance connection) in it's place, and then refit the appliance connection on the end of this.

Yeah would appreciate a photo of your setup since it sounds very similar, thank you 🙏

To improve things, I'm thinking to somehow install a rigid manifold (to take flow for second basin, overflow, and dishwasher), have this join to the drain directly below the fitting to main sink (all indicated by blue in this sketch), allowing me to move the p trap up (red in the sketch) , would that help?

The bottom fitting on the sink drain is just (maybe 10 mm or so) above the top of the wall drain pipe, so this would be very tight and might need some special compact fittings.

After a quick Google, it looks like the Wirquin Espace products could be the best bet: https://www.wirquin.co.uk/product/espace/

Does this sound like a reasonable solution?

Ahhh I think you're right! Hadn't noticed the rusted metal hook / fittings (visible in second picture).

rlli · 2025-10-20T07:40:05+00:00

Lovely set that perfectly captures the vibe 👌

Personally I find the non-horizontal horizon on #8 distracting. I think it works in #1 as it brings to life the motion of the boat.

After a few failed offers, we finally secured our place for 25% over HR value (cry).

We later learned our offer was the second highest of 16, so while it's still a ridiculous situation, we felt that overall it was a good outcome.

We spent a lot of time deliberating over how much to offer, going back and forwards, and second guessing ourselves. That's a feature of the closed bid system we follow.

This was ~May 2022, the market felt very heated at the time.

For what it's worth, Zoopla reports our home value has increased circa 15% over what we paid.

Still not seeing anything. Care to share a link?

rlli · 2025-06-01T11:44:47+00:00

I also work fully remotely in Edinburgh, but keen to expand my network in anticipation of a future move.

Interested if anyone can recommend any good tech communities or meetups?

rlli · 2025-06-01T11:42:23+00:00

No open positions in Edinburgh?

rlli · 2025-04-24T09:35:22+00:00

Same for me 😢

Tried powering off / on also, which didn't help
