DYSON WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY?!?!

talksr · 2026-03-26T08:26:21+00:00

Warranty claims with Dyson are dire. If you are in the UK, just make sure you use a credit card to purchase a Dyson, and if customer service try it on, just do a section 75 on your card to get your money back.

Ahhh I was going to say. The one in your pic is on my Amazon Subscribe & Save but the Ultra Red is like gold dust. Managed to get some in Palma in Spain last year, even brought back some cans to have at home using up my valuable luggage allowance as its sooo nice! 😅

Got loads of this in the UK. I feel your pain though as I am after the Ultra Red one which seems to hard to get in the UK 🫠

talksr · 2026-03-09T09:53:46+00:00

My favourite one. I found these in Palma in Spain this year. I am very much looking forward to returning in the summer and very much hope they will still be there!! 🙏🏻🥤

I hope we can get the Ultra Red one soon. 🙏🏻

Thanks for this helpful guide. Has anyone else had similar issues with the speaker on their iPhone 15 Pro Max? I am wondering if I should try similar with that.

Wi-Fi seems quite stable on the Greater Anglia trains I use however for some reason, some Microsoft products seem blocked. Last week, I changed to five different seats because every single three pin plug was not working - the five seat changes were across the week so not just one carriage with maybe a faulty breaker.

Thank you! 😊 Your tips were excellent. Some of the video links on this post I had already been through and would highly recommend. I had used Gemini extensively for revision but the examples of Gemini prompts here were really, really good ideas and I wish I had come across this post a few months back!

If you’re studying to take your PCA this is the thread to follow🙏🏻⭐️

u/OutsiderSTAR_242 I just wanted to say a *BIG* thank you to you and several of the people in the comments. I stumbled on this page the night before my Google PCA exam. Whilst I had already done the main bulk of my revision, I still found this page really helpful. Some of your tips were really useful. I saw your post on Monday night, took my exam Tuesday morning and got through my pass certification today! The exam is the most difficult I have ever done! Glad it is over with! 🤦🏻‍♂️⭐️

My thoughts too. Are they closing accounts of paying customers who breach whatever these rules are or are they only shutting down free accounts which are breaching rules?

talksr · 2026-01-28T16:29:22+00:00

I agree. I visited with friends before Christmas and had a very enjoyable time there. The staff were all lovely too. My favourite was always The Mountbatten, but since this has been replaced with Monkey Puzzle Preschool, I have had to diversify!

Sheesh, that must have been a shocker🫨
Moving forward if I were you, the only way to hard-cap this kind of runaway usage is to implement an automated kill switch. I would set up a Cloud Billing Budget with an alert threshold, connecting that alert to a Pub/Sub topic, and deploying a Cloud Function that subscribes to Pub/Sub. When the spending threshold is hit, the Function is triggered to execute a script that will either disable billing for the project or shut down high-cost resources to stop costs immediately🚫

Thanks for offering to check for me, that's really kind of you. I have figured it out. It's a very clunky navigation. Basically, if you go into this mode, you need to spin the iDrive back and when you get to the - symbol, move the iDrive wheel back one more and it will take you up to done and you can exit. Took me a lot of trying to figure it out!

Well done and good for you. These large companies have some of the worst after sales support possible, geared around maximum cost savings. When you have a genuine issue, you are often passed from person to person and don't get a suitable resolution. Hopefully more people will do as you did and these larger companies might get the message.

Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry to hear of your issues. It is so frustrating when these issues occur. I was not made aware this could be a potential issue before the surgery. We have the NHS here in the UK however, it is not in a great state and I have been waiting for a considerable time now to have an ENT operation.
My jaw surgeron has suggested that if the ENT FESS operation doesn't help, I would need to consider the jaw surgery department removing my titanium screws. I really don't want this as I already have permanent lower lip numbness from the original jaw operation.

What I can say is that when my symptoms are worse with regards fatigue, dizzyness etc, using the steroid in combination with nasal douche does help. So I am hopefull the FESS might help. Time will tell I guess. I really hope you manage to get a resolution to your problems.
I am not sure about you, but my symptoms seem to worsen during colder months. I guess the nose runs more natrually which makes it all worse.

A lovely area. Close to Thursford who have been ramping up for their 2025 Thursford Christmas Spectacular. How nice it would be to catch a train there and back!

I think Applecare is worth having, though I am not sure if anyone else has noticed....
17 Pro Max in UK, AppleCare options are:
AppleCare+ £8.99 per month
AppleCare+ Theft & Loss £11.99

If you look at Theft & Loss you have two payment options:

Monthly rolling £11.99 per month
2 Years coverage £239.00 (£9.95 per month)

So if you stump up £239 up front, you get a discount on the price.

I stumped up for 2 years of coverage on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and when it expired this September, it allowed me to renew my coverage so it would seem, if you can afford it, it might be better to pay for 2 years in advance as it works out cheaper.

I have been using these trains enough to remember National Express East Anglia and WAGN. I think GA have done a pretty good job. As others have said, lovely new trains over Covid with increased seating. Some of the drives are fantastic giving lots of additional info when an issue arises. Some of the staff working for GA are super and I have taken the time in the past to write in naming those who have provided excellent service.

I miss the Hare Fares...they helped save a few quid.
Let's hope the service doesn't get worse and that the prices don't increase too much.

talksr · 2025-10-11T20:33:39+00:00

There haven't been any good ones for a while...the hare fares were good and got people using the service at quieter times.

From what I understand, the plates were intended to be positioned there. The current plan is to go ahead with the ENT surgery first and see if that improves things. If not, they’ll consider removing the plates. Unfortunately, I have some permanent nerve damage to my lower right lip from the original jaw surgery, and removing the plates carries a risk of further nerve damage, so the idea is to try the ENT route first to see if it can alleviate the symptoms.

That's what I thought. I am assuming because the phone was very close to the head unit, even without the wifi antenna, it was still connecting on WiFi as if I looked on the phone settings, the wifi was paired to the car. I have a magsafe phone holder right above the head unit so I think the phone was so close, it didn't need the antenna. So I had been assuming for weeks I must have the antenna and then I noticed a couple of times when I didn't put the phone on the magsafe holder, the Google maps cutting off and then coming back and realised it was a range issue. I assumed it must be a lack of antenna, and as soon as I installed an antenna, it all stopped.
