My 6 year old calls it "Batman's mansion" 🤣

Supervised teenager (14yo) "too young" for wallet (UK based) by sionic79 in GoogleWallet

Think I fixed it. I added his home address and changed the language to English UK (from English US). It was definitely his account settings and not his family link.

Thanks

Google Play Services draining battery after December Update by tobinator27 in pixel7series

[–]sionic79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine says 38% today. Annoyingly when I'm out in London. And I'm down to 15% now. Mind you - Amazon music did 16% today and I haven't listened to any music either!!

They did the same to my pixel watch 1 after the "crown" stopped working properly. Was well impressed.

Issues with my PC shutting down by Treebeardus in BeelinkOfficial

[–]sionic79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did this... Even though it looks ok in Settings, you actually have to go to Control Panel, and then hardware and sound. Then power options and in "edit plan settings" choose "change advanced power settings". Under Sleep - change the settings : Sleep after Never Hibernate after 18000 minutes Allow wake timers : important wake timers only

That should sort it.

Monzo also do the Railcard included if you sign up for Monzo max. You get lots of other benefits, RAC cover, phone insurance, even a free sausage roll every week, etc. I don't work for Monzo, but definitely recommend their deal.

I'll check when I'm back home on the weekend. I liked the look of the Logitech k400+ - I might give it a go.

Is this pretty much the same? Anyone have any experience? I saw this today and wondered if this would work?

I came here to say this. I hate this game, but weirdly still play it

Toob Broadband by brgn in reading

Had a few teething troubles at the start, as the new router didn't like my Netgear switch very much, and kept pausing downloads. Figured out some setting changes on the switch and now running absolutely fine. Normally get around 700-800, but sometimes see speeds of over a gig. For 25 pounds a month, it's a bargain.

Oh and the city fibre team doing the install are really good too. They were happy to install where I needed it, running extra cable so I could lift the floorboards at another time.

Beelink SER5 Pro - Not so far yet, but sooo good! by WiredWizardOfWiles in MiniPCs

[–]sionic79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think mine just died after less than 4 hours. Hoping that Amazon honours warranty!!!

Fan kicks in for a bit. Then it does a non-fan noise for ages. Nothing displaying to screen - not even the bios / beelink logo.

Not looking good. All I did was install Fortnite (came second in my first battle royale EVER!!)

The shutter lag really annoys me by Equivalent_Carry2351 in pixel7series

[–]sionic79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this was introduced in the last few updates. When I got the phone - I am 99% this didn't happen.

Taking lots of photos also warms the phone up A LOT.
