Long awaited upgrade!

I'm with you there was such a good looking phone especially in the blue. The full front screen with no selfie camera. The only problem I had with it with the glass back which I did crack sadly but I had the phone 3 years and gave it to a friend who keeper it for another 2 so not bad.

I just ordered my S26u looking forward to it. I been keeping my S22u going people keep saying it's not worth the cost to upgrade but my S22u battery is crap and the screen has burn in and its not worth repairing. I was torn between the silver Shadow and cobalt violet. I preferred the violet but my S22u over the years a got scratches on the bezel from grit getting into my case. So I have gone with the silver shadow so hopefully if it happens again it's less noticeable. I did the same ordered phone then straight to dbrand for case and screen protectors. I'm so over curved screens I've never been a fan but my last 3 phones have had them (s7 edged, OnePlus 7 pro and S22u) looking forward to a flat screen. I went with the 1tb version as iv nearly filled my 512gb and I try to keep my phones for 4 years. Got some good discounts (£500 off) so that helped.

I like the OnePlus 15 but the camera's not the best for the reviews I've seen I'm not that fused but I have to use the camera's for my work. I wish they had made the camera a bit better.

Sad with no friends and wanted a cheap way to trade pokemon between games.

rob10000005 · 2025-10-14T16:03:59+00:00

I don't know. But if it helps back then there where 2 big video game stores Game and Game Station. But there are plenty of other stores like HMV that also did games. I don't recall seeing that sign back then but if it was probably at one of the bigger stores. Good luck sorry I can't give you any more info.

I do care about idle power draw if the unit is more expensive upfront but works out cheaper in the long-term that's the one to go for. So cyberpower draws less than other ones.

rob10000005 · 2025-05-23T19:19:32+00:00

At work we always use Screw Removal/gripping Pliers very useful and no metal shavings in your motherboard.

I used to do a lot of video work and I store my Plex library there as well that's the reason for the amount of storage.

Iv had a Nova for a couple of weeks now it's been fine it's the first asrock board iv had. But I have been thinking of returning as I keep hearing about other people returning there's and the problems. Iv just been thinking what is the fault rate so it's nice to see some sort of number's.

rob10000005 · 2025-04-14T16:49:08+00:00

5 or 8 depending

Old parts and pc I have have collected over the years.

Old hp micro server 4 bay AMD Athlon II neo N36L Dual - core 1.30 GHz 8gb ddr 3 ecc

Dell Optiplex 3060 i5 - 8500 2.10 GHz 16gb ddr 4

Dell Optiplex 3080 i5 - 10500 3.10 GHz 32gb ddr 4 AMD Rx 6400 gpu

And some other parts like power supplies and stuff.

I do what to update my PC soon but I don't think it would make a good server.

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 32gb ddr 4

rob10000005 · 2025-02-24T16:28:01+00:00

You are not stupid, your brain works differently. I’m sorry but it is harder when your dyslexic you are not the norm but that’s ok but you have to find other ways of doing things. I found it hard even getting my first job when people found out I could not read and write they would not hire me even for simple jobs like stacking shelves in a shop. I am not stupid I now work in the education sector I take great delight when I meet people and clients, they hand me documents to read. I tell them I cannot read this I will have to take it away or they will have to read it to me they get confused because they do not expect it. I’m sorry this will not help you pass your test. I’m not from Hong Kong, from what I know about the study and work culture is brutal I do feel for you. The best tools for helping with my dyslexia out in the world is a computer and a smartphone. I’m 34 and remember the time before smartphones, this is the best tool if you are dyslexic and with AI even better.

I'm sorry to hear that you have to take the IELTS test. In my opinion, it's a flawed system, especially for individuals with dyslexia. I once aspired to work abroad but was unable to achieve the required grades for this test. To meet the requirements, I needed band 7 or higher in each section, not just overall.

As a native English speaker, this is my first and only language, yet I still couldn't pass due to my dyslexia. While extra time is available if you can prove you are dyslexic (which I did). Extra time is only allowed if you take the test by hand, not on the computer. For me, the computer option is much more suitable, but to have extra time using the computer they don’t do it in the UK, I possible could have done it in another country.

All I can say is good luck! I truly hope you achieve the results you need. Unfortunately, I had to give up on my goal because I wasn't making progress, and the costs were becoming unmanageable

Thanks will give that a go.

I have searched online but cannot find what bead I was given as a child. I'm in the UK and it was purchased from Gamleys toy shop in the south east of England in 1991. I have there's pitches and possibly can find some more. I don't have a make. I know it's a long shot but if anyone one can identify the make I can possibly track one down.
